 2. Demised
Premises. For and in consideration of the rent hereinafter reserved and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord does hereby lease and demise unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby hire, lease and accept, from Landlord, all upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the following premises, referred to as the “Demised Premises”, approximately 21,106 square feet of space, approximately 20,500 square feet of which is office/medical laboratory space, having an
address as set forth in Section 1(a), located within Building IA (the “Building”), which contains a total of approximately 47,414 square feet and is constructed upon a 3.6242 acre tract of land (the “Land”) situated within
Valwood Service Center (the “Project”), located in the City of Farmers Branch, County of Dallas, State of Texas, all as outlined on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Project excludes Building B which is
located adjacent to the Land. For purposes of rental and operating expense calculations, the Demised Premises “area” measurement shall be calculated using the “BOMA Drip Line Methodology for Industrial Buildings”. This
incorporates space measurement from the center line of interior demising walls to the outside of all exterior perimeter wall roof drip lines. There are no offsets, deductions, adjustments or factors for building common areas or area penetrations.

  
 3. Term. To have and to hold the Demised Premises for a
primary term (the “Term”) to commence on the Lease Commencement Date and to terminate on the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1(h), as the Lease Commencement Date and the Expiration Date may be revised pursuant to Section 17(b).
The term “Lease Year” shall mean each one (1) year period of the Term beginning on the Lease Commencement Date, and each anniversary thereof, and ending on the day immediately prior to the next succeeding anniversary of the Lease
Commencement Date. 
  
 4. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord at the address set forth in Section 1(n), as base rent for the Demised Premises, commencing on the Base Rent Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term in lawful money of the United States, the annual amount set forth in
Section 1(d) payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 1(e) (the “Base Rent”), payable in advance, without demand and without abatement, reduction, set-off or deduction, on the first day of each calendar month
during the Term. If the Base Rent Commencement Date shall fall on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent shall be apportioned pro rata on a per diem basis for the period between the Base Rent Commencement Date and the
first day of the following calendar month. If the Expiration Date shall fall on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for such calendar month shall be apportioned pro rata on a per diem basis for the period between the
first day of such calendar month and the Expiration Date. 
  
 5.
Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, on the date hereof, or shall have deposited with Landlord prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the sum of Nineteen Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Seven and 17/100 Dollars ($19,347.17) (the
“Security Deposit”), which shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a
measure of Tenant’s damages in case of an event of default. Upon each occurrence of an event of default, Landlord may use all or part of the Security Deposit to pay past due rent or other payments due Landlord under this Lease, and the cost of
any other damage, injury, expense or liability, chargeable to Tenant hereunder, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. On demand, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its
original amount. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time throughout the term of the Lease, to request information, including current financial statements, to confirm the current financial condition of the Tenant. The Security Deposit shall
be deemed the property of Tenant and held in trust by Landlord, and any remaining balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant has vacated the Demised Premises, provided
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled and no uncured Event of Default by Tenant exists nor does an event which could mature into an Event of Default with the passage of time exist at that time. The return of the Security
Deposit shall not extinguish obligations which survive the termination of the Lease.

 6. Operating Expenses and Additional Rent. 
  
 (a) Tenant agrees to pay as Additional Rent (as defined in
Section 6(b) below) its proportionate share of Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined). “Operating Expenses” shall be defined as all reasonable expenses for operation, repair, replacement (not in the nature of a capital
improvement as set forth below) and maintenance as necessary to keep the Building and the common areas, driveways, and parking areas associated therewith (collectively, the “Building Common Area”), in good order, condition and repair,
including but not limited to, (i) utilities for the Building Common Area, (ii) expenses associated with the driveways and parking areas (including washing, sealing, restriping, patching, repairing; and snow, trash and ice removal),
(iii) common security systems, if provided (iv) lighting and electrical systems, (v) landscaped area, (vi) water and sewer systems; (vii) walkways, (viii) directional signage, (ix) all charges assessed against or
attributed to the Building pursuant to any applicable easements, covenants, restrictions, agreements, declaration of protective covenants or development standards (provided the same are amortized, if applicable, over the useful life of such
improvement, only that portion of such amortized amount as is attributable to the remainder of the Term shall be assessed, and no charges in connection with the original construction of the Project shall be assessed), (x) property management
fees, based upon Base Rental plus Additional Rent, but only to the extent the same do not exceed competitive costs for such comparable services in a generally comparable lease space and building in a generally comparable business park in the Dallas
marketplace, as part of a comparably sized real estate portfolio. (Landlord shall charge a property management fee equal to 3 1/2% of Base Rental plus Additional Rent for calendar years 2005 and 2006; and, to confirm the cost
effectiveness of its property management fee, Landlord shall, on a bi-annual basis, obtain competitive proposals for the management of the Building together with all the rest of Landlord’s real estate portfolio, from third party management
services companies), (xi) all real property taxes and special assessments imposed upon the Building, the Building Common Area and the land on which the Building and the Building Common Area are constructed, including the cost of any tax
consultant to assist Landlord in determining the fair tax valuation; (xii) costs of insurance paid by Landlord with respect to the Building and the Building Common Area; and, (xiii) costs of improvements to the Building and the Building
Common Area required by any law, ordinance or regulation applicable to the Building and the Building Common Area generally (and not because of the particular use of the Building or the Building Common Area by a particular tenant), which cost shall
be amortized on a straight line basis over the useful life of such improvement, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Operating Expenses shall also include the reasonable operating expenses of the common areas of the Project, if any, which expenses
shall be proportionately allocated among the completed buildings of the Project, based on the square footage of each building. Further, Operating Expenses shall not include the costs for capital improvements unless such costs are incurred for the
purpose of causing a material decrease in the Operating Expenses of the Building (during the Term) or are made with respect to improvements made to comply with laws, ordinances or regulations as described above. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,
“Operating Expenses” shall not include any of the following: (i) any utility expenses which are separately metered or which are otherwise separately reimbursed by Tenant or other tenants (i.e., not as a part of Operating Expenses
reimbursement); (ii) costs for which Landlord actually receives reimbursement by insurance or condemnation awards; (iii) costs, expenses and fees relating to the promotion of the Project in general, or to solicitation of, advertising for,
negotiating with or entering into leases or other prospective tenancy arrangements for space in the Building, or in connection with negotiations, entertainment of or disputes with and/or enforcement of agreements with such prospective tenants,
tenants or other occupants of the Project, or with consultants, management agents, purchasers, ground lessors, prior owners or mortgagees of the Project including leasing commissions and fees of attorneys or other consultants for such negotiations,
disputes or enforcement; (iv) Tenant allowances, tenant concessions and other costs or expenses (including permit, license and inspection fees) incurred in completing, fixturing, furnishing, renovating or otherwise improving, decorating or
redecorating space for tenants or other occupants of the Project, or in relocating such tenants or other occupants to the Project including space planning/interior design fees and the cost of removing the property of former tenants and/or occupants
of the Project; (v) costs of (or allowances for ) correcting latent defects in the Building or the Building equipment, or in replacing defective equipment, but excluding normal repairs and maintenance required by ordinary wear and tear;
(vi) insured costs of restoration or repair of all or any portion of the Building as a result of total or partial destruction or condemnation thereof other than applicable deductibles; (vii) except as expressly included in the definition
above, any capital investment items or other expenditures properly classified as “capital expenditures” under generally accepted accounting principles; (viii) all costs incurred in connection with the construction of tenant
improvements paid for by Landlord; (ix) non-cash expense items, such as deductions for depreciation or obsolescence of the Building and Building equipment, or interest on capital invested; (x) costs in connection with services, items or
other benefits which are not available to Tenant without specific charge therefor, but which are provided to another tenant or 

  

 PAGE 3 

 
occupant of the Building without charge; (xi) costs or expenses (including fines, penalties and legal fees) incurred by Landlord due to the violation by
Landlord, its employees, agents and/or contractors, any tenant or other occupant of the Building, of the terms and conditions of any lease in the Building or of any third-party contract or obligation, or of any applicable laws, rules, regulations,
and codes of any federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Land, it being intended that each party shall be responsible for the costs resulting from its own violation of such leases and laws,
rules, regulations and codes as same shall pertain to the Building; (xii) costs directly resulting from the willful misconduct or other tortious conduct of Landlord or its employees, agents and/or contractors; (xiii) payment to Landlord or
any affiliate of Landlord, for services, goods, supplies or other materials constituting Operating Expenses to the extent that such payments are in excess of that which would have been paid had the services, goods, supplies or materials been
provided by third parties of similar skill, competence and experience on a competitive basis; (xiv) payments of principal, finance charges or interest on debt or amortization on any note, mortgage, deed of trust or other debt, and rental
payments (or increases in same) under any ground or underlying lease or leases (except to the extent the same may be made to pay or reimburse real estate taxes or other items that would be an Operating Expense if paid by Landlord); (xv) legal
expenses and other costs related to existence and maintenance of Landlord as a limited partnership or limited liability company; (xvi) compensation paid to attendants or other persons in any commercial concessions (such as snack or beverage
machines) operated by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord; (xvii) any of Landlord’s home office expense, other than the management fee specified above; (xviii) costs incurred in installing, operating, maintaining and owning any
specialty items or services not normally installed, operated and maintained in projects comparable to the Project for Landlord’s operation, repair and maintenance of, or the providing of necessary services for, the Property, including but not
limited to, any cell tower; (xix) monetary contributions to operating expense reserves; (xx) monetary contributions to charitable organizations; and (xxi) costs or fees relating to the defense of Landlord’s title to or interest
in the Property, or any part thereof. 
  
 (c) The
proportionate share of Operating Expenses to be paid by Tenant shall be a percentage of the Operating Expenses based upon the proportion that the square footage of the Demised Premises bears to the total square footage of the Building (such figure
referred to as “Tenant’s Operating Expense Percentage” and set forth in section 1(j)). The Estimated Operating Expense for the Demised Premises, for 2005, is $2.50 per square foot. As relates to the real property taxes and special
assessments imposed upon the Building only, Tenant’s “proportionate share” shall be 44.51% of the taxable value of the Land and base building and improvements, plus its proportionate share of the taxable value of additional tenant
improvements based upon the original cost and the taxable value of its additional tenant improvements, as compared to the original cost and taxable value of all of the additional tenant improvements in the Building. Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to protest the ad valorem tax appraisal assessed by the local taxing authorities before the ad valorem appraisal review board; and, to retain professional tax consultants and/or attorneys to support the protest, should it
deem such to be prudent. Costs incurred in said protest shall be a part of Operating Expenses. Upon receipt of a written request from Tenant, Landlord will provide Tenant with any notices received from the central appraisal district pursuant to
Section 41.413 of the Texas Property Tax Code. Should Landlord deem it inappropriate to protest the current appraisal, and Tenant wishes to protest, Landlord will protest on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant’s direction, at Tenant’s sole
cost. Should such protest result in increased tax value for the tax year protested, Tenant shall be fully responsible for the increased tax cost incurred for such tax year in excess of that which would have resulted had the tax appraisal not been
protested. Prior to or as soon after the beginning of each subsequent calendar year as is practical, Landlord shall estimate the total amount of Operating Expenses to be paid by Tenant during each such calendar year and Tenant shall pay to Landlord
one-twelfth (1/12) of such sum on the first day of each calendar month during each such calendar year, or part thereof, during the Term. Within a reasonable time, but not more than ninety (90) days, after the end of each calendar year,
including 2005, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement of the actual amount of Operating Expenses for such calendar year, and the actual amount owed by Tenant, and within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, Tenant shall pay any
deficiency between the actual amount owed and the estimates paid during such calendar year, or in the event of overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next installment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent owed by
Tenant or remit such overpayment to Tenant if the Term has expired or has been terminated and no Event of Default exists hereunder. If the Lease Commencement Date shall fall on other than that first day of the calendar year, and/or if the Expiration
Date shall fall on other than the last day of the calendar year, Tenant’s proportionate share of the Operating Expenses for such calendar year shall be apportioned pro rata. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary “real estate
taxes” shall not include municipal, state or federal income or excise taxes assessed against Landlord or any municipal, state or federal estate, inheritance or other transfer taxes imposed upon Landlord. 
  

 PAGE 4 

 (d) Any amounts required to be paid by Tenant hereunder (in addition to Base Rent) and
any charges or expenses incurred by Landlord on behalf of Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall be considered “Additional Rent” payable in the same manner and upon the same terms and conditions as the Base Rent reserved hereunder
except as set forth herein to the contrary. Any failure on the part of Tenant to pay such Additional Rent when and as the same shall become due following reasonable notice (unless notice is otherwise provided for herein) shall entitle Landlord to
the remedies available to it for non-payment of Base Rent. Tenant’s obligations for payment of Additional Rent shall begin to accrue on the Lease Commencement Date regardless of the Base Rent Commencement Date. 
  
 (e) If applicable in the jurisdiction where the Demised
Premises are located, Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales, use and inventory taxes or other similar taxes, if any, on the amounts payable by Tenant hereunder levied or imposed by any city, state, county or other governmental body
having authority, such payments to be in addition to all other payments required to be paid Landlord by Tenant under the terms of this Lease (provided such payments are not duplicative of such other payments). Such payment shall be made by Tenant
directly to such governmental body if billed to Tenant, or if billed to Landlord, upon Landlord giving Tenant reasonable notice and a description of such amount, such payment shall be paid concurrently with the payment of the Base Rent, Additional
Rent, or such other charge upon which the tax is based, all as set forth herein. 
  
 7. Use of Demised Premises and Building Common Areas. 
  
 (a) The Demised Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use set forth in Section 1(I) and for no other purpose. 
  
 (b) Tenant and its employees, customers and licensces shall
have the right to use only its proportionate share of any parking areas that have designated for such use by Landlord in writing, but not less than the number set forth in Section 1(m) subject to (i) all rules and regulations promulgated
by Landlord, and (ii) rights of ingress and egress of other lessees. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties, and Tenant expressly does not have the right to tow or obstruct
improperly parked vehicles. Tenant agrees to park only passenger vehicles in the automobile parking spaces; and, to only park trucks and/or trailers in the provided truck dock areas. Tenant’s parking areas shall be designated on Exhibit
E, attached hereto, so long as it is approved by the City of Farmers Branch and the Valwood Property Owners Association. 
  
 (c) Tenant shall not use the exterior of the Demised Premises or the Building or the Building Common Area for storage or demurrage of
equipment, materials, supplies, trash or other items; provided, however, Tenant may install a dumpster in the area designated on Exhibit F, attached hereto, so long as such is approved by the City of Farmers Branch and the Valwood Property
Owners Association. 
  
 (d) Tenant will permit no
liens to attach or exist against the Demised Premises if caused by Tenant or its employees, contractors or agents. In the event such lien arises, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged or secured against to the reasonable satisfaction of
Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Tenant becomes aware of such lien. 
  
 (e) The Demised Premises shall not be used for any illegal purposes, and Tenant shall not allow, suffer, or permit any vibration, noise,
odor, light or other effect to within or around the Demised Premises that could constitute a nuisance or trespass for Landlord or any occupant of an adjoining building, its customers, agents, or invitees. Upon notice by Landlord to Tenant that any
of the aforesaid prohibited uses are occurring, Tenant agrees to promptly remove or control the same. 
  
 (f) Tenant shall not in any way violate any law, ordinance or restrictive covenant affecting the Demised Premises, and shall not in any
manner use the Demised Premises so as to cause cancellation of, prevent the use of, or increase the rate of, the fire and extended coverage insurance policy required hereunder. 
  
 (g) In the event insurance premiums pertaining to the Demised Premises, the Building, or the Building Common
Area, whether paid by Landlord or Tenant, are increased over the least hazardous category of rate available on the Lease Commencement Date, due to the nature of the use of the Demised Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall promptly pay such additional
amount as Additional Rent. 
  
 8. Insurance. 
  
 (a) Tenant covenants and agrees that from and after the
Lease Commencement Date or any earlier date upon which Tenant enters or occupies the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant 

  

 PAGE 5 

 
will carry and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, the following types of insurance, in the amounts specified and in the form hereinafter provided for:

  
 (i) Liability insurance in the Commercial
General Liability form (or reasonable equivalent thereto) covering the Demised Premises and Tenant’s use thereof against claims for personal injury or death, property damage and product liability occurring upon, in or about the Demised
Premises, such insurance to be written on an occurrence basis (not a claims made basis; provided, however, that products liability coverage may be on a claims made basis), to be in combined single limits amounts not less than $3,000,000.00 and to
have general aggregate limits of not less than $5,000,000.00 for each policy year. The insurance coverage required under this Section 8(a)(i) shall, in addition, extend to any liability of Tenant arising out of the indemnities provided for in
Section 11 and, if necessary, the policy shall contain a contractual endorsement to that effect. 
  
 (ii) Insurance covering (a) all of the items included in the leasehold improvements constructed in the Demised Premises by or at the
expense of Landlord and/or the Tenant (collectively, the “Improvements”), including but not limited to: demising walls; interior walls and wall coverings, flooring and floor coverings; ceilings; insulation; doors/frames/hardware; window
coverings; cabinetry and millwork; glass and glazing (including storefronts and interior and exterior windows and doors); overhead doors; all electrical facilities, equipment and systems including, without limitation, lighting fixtures, lamps, fans
and any exhaust systems, electrical motors, transformers, panels, wiring and all other electrical fixtures and equipment; plumbing and sewage systems; fire sprinkler systems; skylights; heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, kitchen
equipment and appliances; and all other equipment and appliances of any kind and nature located in, upon or about and exclusive to the Demised Premises; and (b) Tenant’s trade fixtures, merchandise and personal property from time to time
in, on or upon the Demised Premises, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their full replacement value from time to time during the Term, providing protection against perils included within the standard form of
“all-risks” fire and casualty insurance policy, together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief. Any policy proceeds from such insurance relating to the Improvements shall be used solely for the repair,
construction and restoration or replacement of the improvements damaged or destroyed unless this Lease shall cease and terminate under the provisions of Section 20. 
  
 (b) All policies of the insurance provided for in Section 8(a) shall be issued in form reasonable
acceptable to Landlord by insurance companies with a rating of not less than “A”, and financial size of not less than Class X, in the most current available “Best’s Insurance Reports”, and licensed to business in the state
in which the Building is located. Each and every such policy: 
  
 (i) shall name Landlord, Lender (as defined in Section 24), and any other party reasonably designated by Landlord, as an additional insured. In addition, the coverage described in Section 8(a)
(ii) relating to the Improvements shall name Landlord and Tenant jointly as “loss payee”. In the event that Landlord elects to make repairs and/or reconstruct the Improvements, as provided for in Section 20 hereof, Tenant shall
assign such portion of the proceeds to Landlord as required to reconstruct the Improvements, but no portion of such proceeds relating to the Improvements shall be used to cover any shortfall in full replacement coverage maintained by Landlord
pursuant to Section 8(d) hereof. 
  
 (ii)
shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Lease Commencement Date and thereafter prior to the expiration of each such policy, and, as often as any such policy shall expire or terminate. Renewal or additional policies shall be procured and
maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent; 
  
 (iii) shall contain a provision that the insurer will give to Landlord and such other parties in interest at least fifteen (15) days notice in writing in advance of any material change, cancellation, termination
or lapse, or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance; and 
  
 (iv) except with respect to the single and general aggregate limits set forth in Section 8(a)(j) (which limits may be satisfied
through excess coverage insurance as long as Tenant provides to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such excess coverage), shall be written as a primary policy which does not contribute to and is not in excess of coverage which
Landlord may carry. 
  
 (c) In the event that
Tenant shall fail to carry and maintain the insurance coverages set forth in this Section 8, Landlord may upon thirty (30) days notice to Tenant (unless such coverages will lapse in which event no such notice shall be necessary) procure
such policies of insurance and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord therefor. 
  

 PAGE 6 

 (d) Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of all risk extended coverage insurance
on that portion of the Building and Building Common Area that is not designated herein to be covered by Tenant, in an amount not less than 90% of the replacement cost therefor. Such insurance shall be maintained as part of the Operating Expenses,
with the premiums therefor, and deductibles paid on claims, to be charges forwarded to Tenant on a pro-rata basis; and, payments for losses thereunder, including deductible amounts, shall be made solely to Landlord or the mortgages of Landlord, as
their interest appear. 
  
 (e) Landlord shall
maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance on that portion of the Building and Building Common Area that is not designated herein to be covered by Tenant, against claims for personal injury or death, property damage and
product liability occurring upon, in or about such areas, such insurance to be written on an as occurrence basis (not a claims made basis), to be in combined single limit amounts not less than $3,000,000 and to have general aggregate limits of not
less than $5,000,000 for each policy. Such insurance shall be maintained as part of the Operating Expenses, with premiums therefor, and deductibles paid on claims, to be charges forwarded to Tenant on a pro-rata basis. 
  
 (f) Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right each may have
against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, their respective property, the Demised Premises, its contents or to the other portions of the Building, arising form any risk covered by all
risks fire and extended coverage insurance of the type and amount required to be carried hereunder, provided that such waiver does not invalidate such policies or prohibit recovery thereunder. The parties hereto shall cause their respective
insurance companies insuring the property of either Landlord or Tenant against any such loss, to waive any right of subrogation that such insurers may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. 
  
 9. Utilities. During the Term, Tenant shall promptly pay as billed to
Tenant all rents and charges for water and sewer services and all costs and charges for gas, steam, electricity, fuel, light, power, telephone, heat and any other utility or service used or consumed in or servicing the Demised Premises and all other
costs and expenses involved in the care, management and use thereof as billed by the applicable utility company. To the extent reasonable possible, such utilities shall be separately metered and billed to Tenant. Any utilities which are not
separately metered shall be billed to Tenant by Landlord at Landlord’s actual cost, on a pro rata or actual use basis. In the event Tenant’s use of any utility not separately metered, specifically domestic water and sewer, is in excess of
the average use by other tenants, Landlord shall advise Tenant of such excessive use and if such excessive use does not cease within ten (10) days thereafter, Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to install a meter for such utility, at
Tenant’s expense, and bill Tenant for Tenant’s actual use or, if neither Landlord nor tenant elects to install a meter for such utility, Landlord may bill Tenant for its use, on a use basis (based upon previous usage averages for the
Building, in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to start of construction on Tenant’s improvements), as opposed to a pro rata basis. If Tenant fails to pay any utility bills or charges, Landlord may, at its option and upon ten
(10) days advance notice to Tenant, pay the same and in such event, the amount of such payment, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate as defined in Section 32 from the date of such payment by Landlord, will be added to
Tenant’s next due payment as Additional Rent. 
  
 10.
Maintenance and Repairs. 
  
 (a) Tenant

Wall, if damaged by Tenant; interior walls and wall coverings; flooring and floor covering; ceilings; insulation; door/frames/hardware; window coverings; cabinetry and millwork; glass and glazing (including storefronts and interior and exterior
windows and doors); overhead doors; all electrical facilities, equipment and systems including, without limitation, lighting fixtures, lamps, fans and any exhaust systems, electrical motors, transformers, panels, wiring and all other electrical
fixtures and equipment; plumbing and sewage systems; fire sprinkler systems; skylights; heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, kitchen equipment and appliances; and all other equipment and appliances of any kind and nature located in,
upon or about and exclusive to the Demised Premises, except as to such maintenance and repair as is the obligation of Landlord pursuant to Section 10(b). Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect a service contract for the maintenance of
the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems with an entity reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant’s obligation shall exclude any maintenance and repair required because of the act or negligence of Landlord, its employees or agents,
which shall be the responsibility of Landlord. Landlord shall cooperate reasonably to assist Tenant in making claims under warranties or guaranties provided to Landlord by equipment, fixture or system manufacturers, installers, servicers and the
like. 
  

 PAGE 7 

 (b) Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, correct any latent defects at the
Building and maintain the foundation, the structural soundness of the exterior walls and the roof of the Building in good repair, reasonable, non-functionally impairing wear and tear excluded. The term “walls” as used herein shall not
include interior paint coatings, windows, glass or plate glass, any doors, special store fronts or office entries, and the term “foundation” as used herein shall not include loading docks openings to the Building. Tenant shall immediately
give Landlord written notice of defect or need of repairs, after which Landlord shall have reasonable opportunity to effect such repairs or cure such defect. Landlord’s obligation shall exclude the cost of any maintenance or repair required
because of the act or negligence of Tenant, its employees or agents, the cost of which shall be the responsibility, of Tenant. In addition, except for maintenance and repairs that are Tenant’s responsibility, as partially listed in
Section 10(a) herein, Landlord shall maintain the Building and Project in a first-class condition including, but not limited to, the Building Common Area maintenance and contemplated in the definition of Operating Expenses, with the costs
thereof to be charged to the tenants on a pro-rata basis. 
  
 (c) Unless the same is caused solely by the negligent action or inaction of Landlord, its employees or agents, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to any other person for any damage occasioned by failure in any
utility system or by the bursting or leaking of any vessel or pipe in or about the Demised Premises, or for any damage occasioned by water coming into the Demised Premises or arising from the acts or neglects of occupants of adjacent property or the
public. 
  
 11. Tenant’s Personal Property Indemnity.
All of Tenant’s personal property in the Demised Premises shall be and remain at Tenant’s sole risk. Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors, shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from, any and all liability
for theft thereof or any damage thereto occasioned by any act of God or by any acts, omissions or negligence or wanton or willful misconduct of any persons other than the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Landlord, its
agents, employees and contractors, harmless, in all such cases, except to the extent caused by the negligence or wanton or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors. Tenant further agrees to indemnify and reimburse
Landlord for any costs or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees that Landlord reasonably may incur in investigating, handling or litigating any such claim against Landlord by a third person, unless such claim arose
from the negligence or wanton or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any damage injury or
death occurring before such expiration or termination. 
  
 12.
Tenant’s Fixtures. Tenant shall have the right to install in the Demised Premises trade fixtures and appurtenances required by Tenant or used by it in its business, including, but not limited to, specialized wall mounted medical
cabinetry, computers and/or electronic equipment; and, if installed by or at the expense of Tenant, to remove any or all such trade fixtures from time to time during and/or upon termination of this Lease, provided no Event of Default, as defined in
Section 22, then exists; provided, however, that Tenant shall repair and restore any damage or injury to the Demised Premises, caused by said removal, to the condition in which the Demised Premises would have been prior to such installation,
had the fixtures not been installed, with reasonable wear and tear excepted. 
  
 13. Signs. No sign, advertisement or notice shall be inscribed, painted, affixed, or displayed on the windows or exterior walls of the Demised Premises or on any public area of the Building, except in such
places, numbers, sizes, colors and styles as are approved in advance in writing by Landlord, and which conform to all applicable laws, ordinances, or covenants affecting the Demised Premises. Any and all permitted signs shall be installed,
maintained and removed at Tenant’s sole expense pursuant to such approval. Signage guidelines approved by Landlord are set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof. As delincated on Exhibit “E”, signage for the
Building is limited to one sign per tenant, to be mounted above each tenant’s office entry, with a maximum signage area of 100 square feet. Cost for such signage shall be borne by Tenant, or it may be included as part of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance. Monument signage is currently not allowed by the City of Farmer’s Branch for this Project; and, an application for a Special Use Permit would be required in order to request approval for such signage. Should Tenant so desire,
Landlord will support and present Tenant’s request for monument signage, with Tenant bearing any and all costs for the Special Use Permit application and the monument signage, if approved. Furthermore, any monument signage design must be
approved by Landlord. 
  
 14. Landlord’s Lien and Security
Interest. To secure the payment of all rent and other sums of money due or to become due hereunder from Tenant, Tenant hereby (a) recognizes Landlord’s statutory lien under Section 54.021 of the Texas Property Code, and
(b) grants to Landlord in addition to such statutory lien in Landlord’s favor, a continuing security interest in all of Tenant’s general business office furniture 

  

 PAGE 8 

 
and fixtures located within the Demised Premises from time to time, provided that such statutory lien and security interest shall not attach to any of
Tenant’s scientific laboratory equipment or instrumentation. Upon an event of default, in addition to all other rights and remedies, Landlord shall have all rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation,
the right to sell the property described in this Section which is subject to Landlord’s lien and security interest at public or private sale, upon five (5) days notice by Landlord to Tenant, at the Demised Premises. Tenant hereby agrees to
execute such other instruments as may be necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the security interest hereby created. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees, if requested now or in the future, to subordinate its said
statutory lien and security interest to the right of Tenant’s lender(s) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Page 9 of this Lease and security agreement may serve as a financing statement and that a
copy, photographic or other reproduction of this portion of this Lease may be filed of record by Landlord and have the same force and affect as the original. The record owner of this Project is the Landlord. 
  
 15. Governmental Regulations. Tenant shall promptly comply throughout
the Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, with all present and future laws, ordinances and regulations of all applicable governing authorities relating to (a) all or any part of the Demised Premises, (b) to the use or manner of use
of the Demised Premises and (c) Tenant’s unique and particular use of the Common Area adjoining the Demised Premises. In the event that such law, ordinance or regulation requires a renovation, improvement or replacement to the Demised
Premises or the Common Area, then Tenant shall be required to make such renovation, improvement or replacement at Tenant’s sole cost and expense only if such law, ordinance or regulation is applicable because of Tenant’s unique and
particular use of the Demised Premises or the Common Area, and is not applicable to the Project in general. In addition, if the renovation, improvement or replacement is required to comply with a law, ordinance or regulation that was not in effect
or did not require compliance at the time the leasehold improvements were constructed in the Demised Premises pursuant to Section 17 and is not related to Tenant’s unique and particular use of the Demised Premises, then the cost of such
renovation, improvement or replacement paid for by Landlord shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the item in question, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay, as an increase in Base
Rent, for the portion of such costs which are thus amortized during the remainder of the Term, and any exercised extensions thereof. Tenant shall also observe and comply with the requirements of all policies of public liability, fire and other
policies of insurance at any time in force with respect to the Demised Premises. Landlord represents that the Project, including the Building and Common Areas, currently comply with current ADA and TAAS regulations. Construction of Tenant’s
Tenant Improvements must also comply with all known current governmental rules and regulations, including ADA, TAAS, and municipal building codes. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall in no way obligate Tenant to make any improvements which
would be designated as “capital improvements” in the Common Area, unless such capital improvements are required as a direct result of Tenant’s unique and particular use of the Common Area. 
  
 16. Environmental Matters. 
  
 (a) For purposes of this Lease: 
  
 (i) “Contamination” as used herein means the
presence of or release of Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined) into any environmental media from, upon, within, below, into or on any portion of the Demised Premises, the Building, the Building Common Area or the Project so as to require
remediation, cleanup or investigation under any applicable Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined). 
  
 (ii) “Environmental Laws” as used herein means all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, order, permits, ordinances or
other requirements, concerning protection of human health, safety and the environment, all as may be amended from time to time. 
  
 (iii) “Hazardous Substances” as used herein means any hazardous or toxic substance, material, chemical, pollutant, contaminant
or waste as those terms are defined by any applicable Environmental Laws (including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. (“CERCLA”) and the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. [“RCRA”]) and any solid wastes, polychlorinated biphenyl, urea formaldehyde, asbestos, radioactive materials, radon, explosives, petroleum products and oil. 
  
 (b) Landlord represents that Landlord has not treated,
stored or disposed of any Hazardous Substances upon or within the Demised Premises, nor, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, has any predecessor owner or any past or present tenant or occupant of the Demised Premises. 
  

 PAGE 9 

 (c) Tenant covenants that all its activities on the Demised Premises, the Building, or
the Project during the Term will be conducted in compliance with Environmental Laws. Tenant warrants that it is currently in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and that there are no pending or threatened notices of deficiency, notices
of violation, orders, or judicial or administrative actions involving alleged violations by Tenant of any Environmental Laws. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for obtaining all permits or licenses or approvals
under Environmental Laws necessary for Tenant’s operation of its business on the Demised Premises and shall make all notifications and registrations required by any applicable Environmental Laws in connection therewith. Tenant, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, shall at all times comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, licenses, approvals, notifications and registrations and with any other applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant warrants that it has obtained all such
permits, licenses or approvals and made all such notifications and registrations required by any applicable Environmental Laws necessary for Tenant’s operation of its business on the Demised Premises. 
  
 (d) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Substances to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Demised Premises, the Building, or the Project without the prior written notification to and consent from Landlord; which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided, however, that the consent of Landlord shall not be required for the use, at the Demised Premises, of cleaning supplies, toner for photocopying machines and other similar materials, and/or materials necessary for Tenant’s operations,
in containers and quantities reasonably necessary for and consistent with normal and ordinary use by Tenant in the routine operation or maintenance of Tenant’s equipment or in the routine janitorial service, cleaning and maintenance and/or
business operations within the Demised Premises, so long as such substances have previously been the subject of a notification to, and consent by, Landlord. For purposes of this Section 16, Landlord has heretofore consented to the listing of
Hazardous Substances, and quantities thereof, Tenant has advised are currently used in its business operations; and shall be deemed to have consented to each substance, and quantity thereof, which is the subject of a future notification, if Landlord
has not objected thereto within five (5) business days; and shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld consent if Landlord reasonably determines that the presence of such Hazardous Substances within the Demised Premises would result in a risk
of harm to person or property or otherwise negatively affect the value or marketability of the Building or the Project. However, Landlord’s stated review and approval of submitted Hazardous Materials shall not constitute a municipal warranty or
approval of the storage of such materials, nor shall it negate Tenant’s requirement to comply with all local, State and federal codes and regulations therefore. 
  
 (e) Tenant shall not cause or knowingly permit the release of any Hazardous Substances by Tenant or its
agents, contractors, employees or invitees into any environmental media such as air, water or land or into or on the Demised Premises, the Building or the Project in any manner that violates any Environmental Laws. If such release shall occur
(whether or not Tenant knowingly permitted such release), Tenant shall (i) take all steps reasonably necessary to contain and control such release and any associated Contamination, (ii) clean up or otherwise remedy such release and any
associated Contamination to the extent required by, and take any and all other actions required under, applicable Environmental Laws and (iii) notify and keep Landlord reasonably informed of such release and response. 
  
 (f) Regardless of any consents granted by Landlord pursuant
to Section 16(d) allowing Hazardous Substances upon the Demised Premises, Tenant shall under no circumstances whatsoever (i) cause or permit any activity on the Demised Premises which would cause the Demised Premises to become subject to
regulation as a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility under RCRA or the regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) discharge Hazardous Substances into the storm sewer system serving the Project; or (iii) install any
underground storage tank or underground piping on or under the Demised Premises. 
  
 (g) Tenant shall and hereby does indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all expense, loss and liability
suffered by Landlord (with the exception of those expenses, losses, and liabilities arising from Landlord’s or Landlord’s agents or employees own negligence or willful act), by reason of Tenant’s improper storage, generation,
handling, treatment, transportation, disposal, or arrangement for transportation or disposal, of any Hazardous Substances (whether accidental, intentional, or negligent) or by reason of Tenant’s breach of any of the provisions of this
Section 16. Such expenses, losses and liabilities shall include, without limitation, (i) any and all reasonable expenses that Landlord may incur to comply with Environmental Laws as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply therewith;
(ii) any and all reasonable costs that Landlord may incur in studying or remedying any Contamination caused by Tenant at or arising from the Demised Premises, the Building, or the Project; (iii) any and all costs that Landlord may incur in
studying, removing, disposing or otherwise addressing any Hazardous Substances caused or permitted by Tenant in or about the Demises Premises, the Building, or the Project; (iv) any and all fines, penalties or other sanctions assessed upon
Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with Environmental Laws; and (v) any and all reasonable legal and professional fees and 

  

 PAGE 10 

 
costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the foregoing. The indemnity contained herein shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

  
 (h) Landlord shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to enter the Demised Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, but subject to Tenant’s reasonable security requirements, throughout the Term to audit and inspect the Demised Premises for Tenant’s compliance
with this Section 16, so long as such entry does not interfere with Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Demised Premises. 
  
 17. Construction of Improvements Within Demised Premises. The following shall have been provided and/or performed prior to the Lease Commencement
Date. 
  
 (a) Landlord shall provide a Tenant
Finish Allowance of Four Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand One Hundred Twenty and no/100 Dollars ($422,120.00), or Twenty and no/100 Dollars ($20.00) per square foot of Demised Premises, to be used for the design and construction of the Tenant
Improvements within the Demised Premises (including any related improvements physically located “outside” of the Demised Premises), to include without limitation, space planning costs, architectural and engineering fees, construction
documents, architectural construction administration fees, State of Texas TAAS inspection fees, general contractor fees, equipment, furniture and communication systems relocation costs, other similar fees and expenses, and the actual costs of
construction of improvements. Any additional funding required to construct and complete the Tenant Improvements within the Demised Premises (including any related improvements physically located “outside” of the Demised Premises) (the
“Additional Funding) shall be provided by the Tenant. As it is anticipated that the total cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements within the Demised Premises will initially exceed the Tenant Finish Allowance, therefore requiring
Additional Funding, (a) Tenant’s review and approval of the Tenant Improvements will be required upon completion of architectural production drawings and bidding of construction work; (b) Tenant shall approve, in writing, the total
cost of the Tenant Improvements within the Demised Premises (including any related improvements physically located “outside” of the Demised Premises), to include its approval of Additional Funding; (c) Tenant shall have received
assurances satisfactory to it from Landlord and Landlord’s Lender that the Tenant Finish Allowance is available to be funded therefor; (d) Landlord shall have received assurances satisfactory to it from Tenant that funds to cover the
Additional Funding is available to be funded therefor, and, at Tenant’s election, such funds shall be either be provided for use as the initial progress funding for the construction of Tenant Improvements, or such funds shall be placed in an
escrow account to be drawn upon by Landlord, after Landlord has expended the Tenant Finish Allowance to cover Tenant Improvements progress payments. Funding from either Landlord or Tenant, as required for progress payments for Tenant Improvements
construction, will be required within ten (10) days of Landlord’s submittal of request for payment to Tenant, or Landlord’s submittal of request for payment to its lender, with supporting documentation from architect and general
contractor. Any additional revisions to the construction work, which results in either an increase or decrease in costs of Tenant Improvements, or which impact the construction schedule, will require approval by both Tenant and Landlord, with
payments for any increase to be made by Tenant to Landlord prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises. Any delays caused by Tenant’s failure to make timely decisions or approvals, related to design or construction, after the start
of construction, shall extend the date of substantial completion of Tenant Improvements but shall not extend or defer Base Rent Commencement Date. 
  
 (b) Tenant desires to retain the services of an independent architectural and engineering firm(s) (the “Architect”) to provide
space planning, architectural design, systems design, construction documents, architectural construction administration, and State of Texas TAAS review and inspection. Tenant has requested the use of “Design/Build” technology to provide
performance specified design for the plumbing, electrical, fire sprinkler, heating, air-conditioning and ventilation portions of the Tenant Improvements. Within ten (10) days after the Lease Date, the Architect shall have prepared and submitted
to Tenant, and Tenant shall have approved and shall submit to Landlord, a set of plans and specifications and/or construction drawings (collectively, the “Plans and Specifications”) fully describing all work to be performed by
Landlord’s contractor(s) in constructing the improvements for the Demised Premises. Landlord shall have a period of three (3) days within which to review the Plans and Specifications for completeness of documents for bidding purposes and
compatibility and acceptability within the Project. Landlord’s review and approval of the submitted Plans and Specifications shall not constitute a warranty or representation as to the completeness or adequacy of the Plans and Specifications,
as prepared by professionally licensed architects and/or engineers, for the creation of Tenant’s Improvements within the Demised Premises or for the operations of Tenant’s business within the Demised Premises. Within five (5) days of
Landlord’s receipt of Architect’s Plans and Specifications, and Landlord’s receipt of all systems requirements information from Tenant, as relates to required plumbing, electrical, fire sprinkler, heating, air-condition and
ventilation portions of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord will release the Plans and Specifications for general contractor bidding. The floor plan of the 

  

 PAGE 11 

 
Plans and Specifications shall be incorporated into this Lease as Exhibit B-1 – Floor Plan, and the Specifications, or an executive summary and
reference to the Specifications, shall be incorporated into this Lease as Exhibit B-2 – Design Specifications. If Tenant fails to provide the Plans and Specifications by such date or if Tenant requests any changes to the Plans and
Specifications, and, as a result thereof, completion of construction of the Improvements is delayed beyond the Lease Commencement Date, the Term and Tenant’s obligation to pay rent hereunder shall nevertheless begin on the Lease Commencement
Date and the Base Rent Commencement Date, as the case may be (as such dates would have been extended pursuant to Section 17(b)). If the completion of the Improvements is delayed beyond the Commencement Date for any other reason, then the Lease
Commencement Date, the Base Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date shall each be extended on a day for day basis until the Improvements are completed. 
  

(c) Landlord shall provide for modifications to the shell Building, outside of the Tenant Finish Allowance, and of no additional cost
to the Tenant, and non-related to the Architect’s Plans and Specifications, to include: (i) the cutting of the south concrete wall of the Building and Demised Premises and the installation of two additional 6 1/2’ x 12’ windows, to generally match existing; and (ii) the removal of three overhead doors and
installation of aluminum framing and window glass, to generally match existing, within those openings. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord recognizes and accepts that a portion of the
required Tenant Improvements shall necessitate the placement of equipment outside of the specific Demised Premises. As such, Landlord shall accept (i) the placement of portions of heating-ventilation-air conditioning and exhaust units on the
roof, provided the placement does not negatively impact the structural integrity of the roof and structural system, nor does it violates lines of vision requirements of the City of Framers Branch; (ii) the placement of emergency back-up power
systems within the rear dock/parking area of the Building, within that parking area adjacent to the Demised Premises, provided its placement and appearance is acceptable to the City of Farmers Branch; and (iii) the installation of security
surveillance cameras on the exterior of the Building, provided the visual appearance of such cameras is not objectionable, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, and the installation is acceptable of the City of Farmers Branch. 
  
 (e) Landlord shall provide its time and professional
expertise to provide construction management and oversight of the general contractor’s construction of the Tenant’s Improvements, at no cost to the Tenant. Landlord shall work with the Tenant and Architect in selecting capable and
competent general contractors to bid on the work; and, Landlord will, with input from Tenant and Architect, select the general contractor. Landlord will obtain competitive bids from a minimum of three (3) pre-qualified general contractors (one
of which shall be the general contractor previously utilized by Tenant) and will review the bids with Tenant and Architect. The selection of the ultimate general contractor shall be based upon the best combination of bid costs and construction times
submitted by the competing general contractors, in conjunction with the contractor’s acceptance of designated contract conditions. Should the bidding contractor offering the best combination of construction cost and the completion time not be
the preferred contractor of the Tenant, then Landlord shall contract with Tenant’s preferred contractor and Tenant shall be responsible for any cost premiums and the Lease Commencement Date shall be that date upon which the contractor which
offered the best combination of construction cost and completion time would have completed the construction, taking into consideration the selected contractor’s construction start date. Landlord will prepare and provide contract documentation
for execution by and between itself and the general contractor and will provide ongoing construction management and administration of the construction. Landlord shall use reasonable speed and diligence to substantially complete the Improvements and
have the Demised Premises ready for occupancy on or before the Lease Commencement Date set forth in Section 1(f). If the Demised Premises are not substantially complete (i.e., not able to be occupied for Tenant’s specific permitted use of
the Demised Premises) on that date, such failure to complete shall not in any way affect the obligation of Tenant hereunder except that the Lease Commencement Date, the Base Rent Commencement Date, and the Expiration Date shall be postponed as
provided in Section 17(b). 
  
 (f) Upon
substantial completion of the Demised Premises, as determined by the Architect, a representative of Landlord and a representative of Tenant together shall inspect the Demised Premises and generate a punch-list of defective or uncompleted items
relating to the completion of construction of the Improvements. Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such punch-list is prepared and agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, complete such incomplete work and remedy such defective work as is set
forth on the punch-list. Except for Landlord’s warranty contained in subsection (h) below, all construction work performed by Landlord shall be deemed approved by Tenant in all respects except for latent defects and items of said work
included on the punch-list which are not completed or do not conform to the Plans and Specifications. 
  

 PAGE 12 

 (g) Upon acceptance of the Demised Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall execute and deliver
to Landlord a letter of acceptance confirming that the Lease Commencement Date, the Base Rent Commencement Date, the Expiration Date and the Base Rent remain as set forth in Section 1, or if revised pursuant to the terms hereof, setting forth
such modifications. 
  
 (h) Landlord hereby
warrants to Tenant that the materials and equipments (including the building systems and other improvements) to be furnished by Landlord’s contractors in the completion of the Improvements will be of good quality and new, that during the one
(1) year period following the Lease Commencement Date, such materials and equipment and the work of such contractors shall be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted hereunder, and that such work will conform to the
Plans and Specifications. This warranty shall exclude damages or defects caused by Tenant, its employees, invitees, licensees, contractors and agents, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear under normal
usage. In addition, Landlord shall provide copies of all contractor, materialmen and manufacturer warranties and operating manuals to Tenant, and Landlord shall support and assist Tenant’s efforts in any required pursuit of maintenance or
warranty work required by Tenant during Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises, to the extent of any warranties owned by the Landlord, with respect to Tenant’s Improvements during the Lease Term and any exercised extension thereof,
and, upon request of Tenant, following such one (1) year period, Landlord shall assign to Tenant all warranties provided by the contractors and materialmen with respect to the Tenant Improvements. 
  
 18. Tenant Alterations and Additions. Except with respect to the
initial Tenant Improvements called for in the Plans and Specifications therefor, Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Demised Premises which would (a) affect any structural element of the
Building; (b) reduce the load bearing capacity of any portion of the Building (other than by reason of the weight of the installations themselves, as long as total load capacity is not exceeded); (c) involve slab penetrations, roof
penetrations or exterior wall penetrations (including glass, windows or storefront) in the Building; or (d) adversely affect (i) the functioning of the Building HVAC system, or the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, lighting, life safety or
any other system of the Building or (ii) Landlord’s ability to delivery Building services to other tenants of the Building, (a “Tenant’s Change”), without first obtaining on each occasion Landlord’s prior written consent
(which consent Landlord agrees not unreasonably to withhold, condition or delay) and Lender’s prior written consent (if such consent is required). As part of its approval process, Landlord may require that Tenant submit plans and specifications
to Landlord, for Landlord’s approval or disapproval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All Tenant’s Changes shall be performed in accordance with all legal requirements applicable thereto and in a good an workmanlike
manner with first-class materials. Tenant shall maintain insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord during the construction of all Tenant’s Changes. If Landlord at the time of giving its approval to any Tenant’s Change notifies Tenant
in writing that approval is conditioned upon restoration, then Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, remove the same and restore the Demised Premises to its condition prior to such
Tenant’s Change. No Tenant’s Change shall be structural in nature or impair the structural strength of the Building or reduce its value. Tenant shall pay the full cost of any Tenant’s Change. Except as otherwise provided herein and in
Section 12, all Tenant’s Changes and all repairs and all other property attached to or installed on the Demised Premises by or on behalf of Tenant shall immediately upon completion or installation thereof be and become part of the Demised
Premises and the property of Landlord without payment therefor by Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 
  
 19. Services by Landlord. Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, Landlord shall be responsible for
providing for maintenance of the Building, Building Common Area and Project, and for all of the services contemplated within the definition of Operating Expenses, and for no other services whatsoever. Tenant, by payment of Tenant’s share of the
Operating Expenses, shall pay Tenant’s pro rata share of the Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord hereunder. 
  
 20. Fire and Other Casualty. In the event the Demised Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord agrees to promptly restore and
repair the Demised Premises at Landlord’s expense, including the Improvements to be insured by Tenant (but, in the case of the Improvements to be insured by Tenant, only to the extent Landlord receives insurance proceeds and Tenant’s
contribution of any deductible amounts not paid by Tenant’s insurance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Demised Premises are (i) in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, so destroyed that they cannot be repaired or
rebuilt within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such damage; or (ii) destroyed by a casualty which is not covered by Landlord’s insurance, plus the deductible portion thereof, or if such casualty is covered by
Landlord’s insurance but Lender or other party entitled to insurance proceeds fails to make such proceeds available to Landlord in an amount sufficient for restoration of the Demised Premises, then Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant
of such determination (the “Determination Notice”) within thirty (30) days of such casualty. Either Landlord or Tenant may terminate and cancel this Lease effective as of the date of 

  

 PAGE 13 

 
such casualty by giving written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Determination Notice. Upon the
giving of such Determination Notice, all obligations hereunder with respect to periods from and after the effective date of termination shall thereupon cease and terminate, and all sums due under this Lease for such periods before such termination,
or prepaid for such periods after such termination, shall be apportioned and paid by the party owing such amount. In the case of an election to terminate and cancel the Lease, made by either Tenant or Landlord, as a result of Landlord’s
issuance of the Determination Notice, any proceeds received from Tenant’s required Improvements insurance, as defined in Section 8(a) herein, shall be allotted and distributed first to Landlord, for its portion of Tenant Improvements costs
initially provided, and all excess amounts shall be distributed to Tenant for its portion of Tenant Improvements costs initially and/or subsequently provided. If no such notice is given, Landlord shall, to the extent of the available insurance
proceeds, make such repair or restoration of the Demised Premises to the approximate condition existing prior to such casualty, promptly and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises
(if Tenant is still occupying the Demised Premises). Base Rent and Additional Rent shall proportionately abate during the time that the Demised Premises or any part thereof are unusable by reason of any such damage thereto. 
  
 21. Condemnation. 
  
 (a) If all of the Demised Premises is taken or condemned for
public or quasi-public use, or if a material portion of the Demised Premises is taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use and the remaining portion thereof is not usable by Tenant in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, this Lease shall
terminate as of the earlier of the date title to the condemned real estate vests in the condemnor or the date on which Tenant is deprived of possession of the Demised Premises. In such event, Landlord shall not be permitted to relet the remaining
portion of the Demised Premises to a third party, the Base Rent herein reserved and all Additional Rent and other sums payable hereunder shall be apportioned and paid in full by Tenant to Landlord to that date, all Base Rent, Additional Rent and
other sums payable hereunder prepaid for periods beyond that date shall forthwith be repaid by Landlord to Tenant, and neither party shall thereafter have any liability hereunder, except that any obligation or liability of either party, actual or
contingent, under this Lease which has accrued on or prior to such termination date shall survive. 
  
 (b) If only part of the Demised Premises is taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use and this Lease does not terminate pursuant
to Section 21(a), Landlord to the extent of the award it receives, shall restore the Demised Premises to a condition and to a size as nearly comparable as reasonably possible to the condition and size thereof immediately prior to the taking,
and there shall be an equitable adjustment to the Base Rent and Additional Rent according to the value of the Demised Premises before and after the taking. 
  
 (c) Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any proceeding with respect to any taking provided for in this
Section 21, including that representing the value of Tenant’s Improvements to the extent paid for out of the Tenant Finish Allowance, without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease, and Tenant shall receive no
part of such award. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit Tenant from making a separate claim, against the condemnor, to the extent permitted by law, for the value of Tenant’s Improvements not paid for out of the Tenant Finish
Allowance moveable trade fixtures, machinery and moving expenses, provided that the making of such claim shall not and does not adversely affect or diminish Landlord’s award. 
  
 22. Defaults. 
  
 (a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” of Tenant under this Lease:

  
 (i) if Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or any
Additional Rent hereunder as and when such rent becomes due and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure; 
  
 (ii) if Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or any Additional Rent
on time more than three (3) times in any period of twelve (12) months, notwithstanding that such payments have been made within the applicable cure period; 
  
 (iii) Tenant fails to take possession of the Demised Premises on the Lease Commencement Date or promptly
thereafter; 
  
 (iv) if Tenant permits to be done
anything which creates a lien upon Landlord’s interest in the Demised Premises and fails to discharge or bond such lien, or post security with Landlord 

  

 PAGE 14 

 
reasonably acceptable to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of written notice thereof; 
  
 (v) if Tenant fails to maintain in force all policies or
insurance required by this Lease and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such failure; 
  

(vi) if any petition is filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease under any present or future section or chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof (which, in the case of an involuntary proceeding, is not permanently discharged, dismissed, stayed, or vacated, as the case may be, within sixty
(60) days of commencement), or if any order for relief shall be entered against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease in any such proceedings; 
  
 (vii) if Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease becomes insolvent under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or makes a transfer in
fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; 
  
 (viii) if a receiver, custodian, or trustee is appointed for the Demised Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or of any guarantor of this Lease, which appointment is not vacated within
sixty (60) days following the date of such appointment; or 
  
 (ix) if Tenant fails to perform or observe any other term of this Lease and such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such failure, or, if such
failure cannot be corrected within such thirty (30) day period, if Tenant does not commence to correct such default within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the correction of same to completion within a
reasonable time. 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence of
any one or more Events of Default, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, without any demand or notice whatsoever (except as expressly required in this Section 22): 
  
 (i) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall expire and
terminate on the date specified in such notice of termination and all rights of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Demised Premises shall terminate. Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Lease arising up to the date of
such termination, and Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord on the date specified in such notice; or 
  
 (ii) Terminate this Lease as provided in Section 22(b)(i) hereof and recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of
Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, an amount which, at the date of such termination, is calculated as follows: (1) the value of the excess, if any, of (a) the Base Rent, Additional rent and all other sums which would
have been payable hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing with the day following the date of such termination and ending with the Expiration Date had this Lease not been terminated, over (b) the aggregate reasonable rental value of the
Demised Premises for the period commencing with the day following the date of such termination and ending with the Expiration Date had this Lease not been terminated (which excess, if any shall be discounted to present value at the “Treasury
Yield” as defined below); plus (2) the reasonable costs of recovering possession of the Demised Premises and all other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord due to Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees; plus (3) the unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent earned as of the date of termination plus any interest and late fees due hereunder, plus other sums of money and damages owing on the date of termination by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease or in connection with the Demised Premises. The amount as calculated above shall be deemed immediately due and payable. The payment of the amount calculated in subsection (ii)(1) shall not be deemed a penalty but shall
merely constitute payment of liquidated damages, it being understood and acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that actual damages to Landlord are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. “Treasury Yield” shall mean the rate of
return in percent per annum of Treasury Constant Maturities for the length of time specified as published in document H.15(519) (presently published by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System titled “Federal Reserve
Statistical Release”) for the calendar week immediately preceding the calendar week in which the termination occurs. If the rate of return of Treasury Constant Maturities for the calendar week in question is not published on or before the
business day preceding the date of the Treasury Yield in question is to become effective, then the Treasury Yield shall be based upon the rate of return of Treasury Constant Maturities for the length of time specified for the most recent calendar
week for which such publication has occurred. If no rate of return for Treasury Constant Maturities is published for the specific length of time specified, the Treasury Yield for such length of time shall be the weighted average of the rates of
return of Treasury Constant Maturities most nearly corresponding to the length of the applicable period specified. If the publishing of the rate of return of 

  

 PAGE 15 

 
Treasury Constant Maturities is ever discontinued, then the Treasury Yield shall be based upon the index which is published by the Board of Governors of the
U.S. Federal Reserve System in replacement thereof or, if no such replacement index is published, the index which , in Landlord’s reasonable determination, most nearly corresponds to the rate of return of Treasury Constant Maturities. In
determining the aggregate reasonable rental value pursuant to subsection (ii)(1)(b) above, the parties hereby agree that, at the time Landlord seeks to enforce this remedy, all relevant factors should be considered, including, but not limited to,
(a) the length of time remaining in the Term, (b) the then current market conditions in the general area in which the Building is located, (c) the likelihood of reletting the Demised Premises for a period of time equal to the remainder of
the Term, (d) the net effective rental rates then being obtained by landlords for similar type space of similar size in similar type buildings in the general area in which the Building is located, (e) the vacancy levels in the general area
in which the Building is located, (f) current levels of new construction that will be completed during remainder of the Term and how this construction will likely affect vacancy rates will be completed during the remainder of the Term and how
this construction will likely affect vacancy rates and rental rates and (g) inflation; or 
  
 (iii) Without terminating this Lease, in its own name but as agent for Tenant, enter into and upon and take possession of the Demised
Premises or any part thereof. Any property remaining in the Demised Premises may be removed and stored in a warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for
any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby unless caused by Landlord’s negligence or wanton or willful misconduct. Thereafter, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, lease to a third party the Demised Premises or any portion
thereof as the agent of Tenant upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable in order to relet the Demised Premises. The remainder of any rentals received by Landlord from such reletting, after the payment of any
indebtedness due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, and the payment of any reasonable costs and expenses of such reletting, shall be held by Landlord to the extent of and for application in payment of future rent owed by Tenant, if any, as the same
may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting shall at any time or from time to time be less than sufficient to pay to Landlord the entire sums then due from Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency
to Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any such previous default provided same has not been cured; or 
  
 (iv) Without terminating this Lease, and with or without
notice to Tenant, enter into and upon the Demised Premises and, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, maintain the Demised Premises and repair or replace any damage thereto or do anything or make any payment for
which Tenant is responsible hereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any reasonable expenses which Landlord incurs in thus effecting Tenant’s compliance under this Lease and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
for any damages with respect thereto; or 
  
 (v)
Without liability to Tenant or any other party and without constituting a constructive or actual eviction, suspend or discontinue furnishing or rendering to Tenant any property, material, labor, utilities or other service, wherever Landlord is
obligated to furnish or render the same so long as an Event of Default exists under this Lease; or 
  
 (vi) With or without terminating this Lease, allow the Demised Premises to remain unoccupied and collect rent from Tenant as it comes due;
provided, however, this provision shall not be deemed a waiver by Tenant of any state law, if any, requiring Landlord to mitigate damages; or 
  
 (vii) Pursue such other remedies as are available at law or equity. 
  
 (c) If this Lease shall terminate as a result of or while there exists an Event of Default hereunder, any
funds of Tenant held by Landlord may be applied by Landlord to any damages payable by Tenant (whether provided for herein or by law) as a result of such termination or default. 
  
 (d) Neither the commencement of any action or proceeding, nor the settlement thereof, nor entry of judgment
thereon shall bar Landlord from bringing subsequent actions or proceedings from time to time, nor shall the failure to include in any action or proceeding any sum or sums then due be a bar to the maintenance of any subsequent actions of proceedings
for the recovery of such sum or sums so omitted. 
  
 (e) No agreement to accept a surrender of the Demised Premises and no act or omission by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Demised Premises unless made in writing and
signed by Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord shall constitute an election by landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall
be deemed to have been 

  

 PAGE 16 

 
waived by either party unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party making such waiver. Landlord’s acceptance of Base Rent or Additional
Rent in full or in part following an Event of Default hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default. No custom or practice which may grow up between the parties in connection with the terms of this Lease shall be construed to
waive or lessen either party’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Lease, without a written notice thereof to the other party. 
  
 (f) If an Event of Default shall occur, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord as a result
thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and expenses actually incurred. 
  
 (g) Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and said failure continues
for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers written notice thereof to Landlord and each mortgagee who has a lien against any portion of the Land and whose name and address has been provided to Tenant, provided that if such failure
cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if the curative action is commenced within said thirty (30) day period and is thereafter diligently pursued until cured. In no event shall
(i) Tenant claim a constructive or actual eviction or that the Premises have become unsuitable hereunder or (ii) a constructive or actual eviction or breach of the implied warranty of suitability be deemed to have occurred under this
Lease, prior to the expiration of the notice and cure periods provided under this Section 22(g). 
  
 (h) Tenant’s remedies for default under this Lease by Landlord shall include: (i) bringing a cause of action against Landlord to
recover from Landlord all actual damages suffered, incurred or sustained by Tenant as a result of such default by Landlord and, if reduced to a final non-appealable judgment against Landlord, Tenant may set-off against and deduct from Base Rent due
under this Lease any amounts owed by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to such judgment; and/or (ii) obtaining injunctive relief against Landlord; and/or (iii) pursuing such other remedies as are available at law or in equity. 
  
 23. Landlord’ s Right of Entry. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord
and the authorized representatives of Landlord and of Lender to enter upon the Demised Premises at all reasonable times for the purposes of inspecting the Demised Premises and Tenant’s compliance with this Lease, and making any necessary
repairs thereto subject to Tenant’s reasonable security requirements; provided that, except in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable prior written notice of Landlord’s intended entry upon the Demised Premises.
Nothing herein shall imply any duty upon the part of Landlord to do any work required of Tenant hereunder, and the performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default in failing to perform it. Landlord shall not be
liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance or other damage to Tenant by reason of making such repairs or the performance of such work in the Demised Premises or on account of bringing materials, supplies and equipment into or through the
Demised Premises during the course thereof, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not thereby be affected; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to annoy, disturb or otherwise interfere with Tenant’s
operations in the Demised Premises in making such repairs or performing such work. Landlord also shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises at all reasonable times, following reasonable notice, to exhibit the Demised Premises to any
prospective purchaser or mortgagee and, during the last eight (8) months of the Term, to any prospective tenant thereof. 
  
 24. Lender’s Rights. 
  
 (a) For purposes of this Lease: 
  
 (i) “Lender” as used herein means the current holder of a Mortgage; 
  
 (ii) “Mortgage” as used herein means any or all
mortgages, deeds to secure debt, deeds or trust or other instruments in the nature thereof which may now or hereafter or encumber Landlord’s title to the Demised Premises, and any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals thereof.

  
 (b) This Lease and all rights of Tenant
hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien and security title of any Mortgage, provided holder of such Mortgage has executed a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in all material respects similar to the
agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G. Tenant recognizes and acknowledges the right of Lender to foreclose or exercise the power of sale against the Demised Premises under any Mortgage, provided Lender recognizes Tenant’s rights
pursuant to the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement. 
  

 PAGE 17 

 (c) On or prior to the Lease Date, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement, in all material respects similar to the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G, from the lienholder of the Demised Premises. If Landlord fails to deliver such agreement of nondisturbance to Tenant on
or prior to the Lease Date, Tenant will have the right, at any time thereafter until same is received, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. 
  

(d) Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in recordable form, subordinating
Tenant’s rights to the lien of any Mortgage now or thereafter encumbering the Demised Premises. Tenant, however, will not be required to subordinate Tenant’s rights hereunder to any Mortgage unless and until the Lender agrees to execute
and deliver to Tenant a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in all material respects similar to the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G. 
  
 (e) If Lender (or Lender’s nominee, or other purchaser at foreclosure) shall hereafter succeed to the
rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease, Tenant shall, if requested by such successor, attorn to and recognize such successor as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease without
change in the terms and provisions of this Lease, provided that such successor shall not be bound by (i) any payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent for more than one month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the
performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, or (ii) any provision of any amendment to the Lease to which Lender has not consented, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that may be necessary to evidence such
attornment, (iii) the defaults of any prior landlord under this Lease, other than its warranty pursuant to Section 17(h) or the failure to fund any portion of the Tenant Finish Allowance, or (iv) any offset rights arising out of the
defaults of any prior landlord under this Lease. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between each successor and landlord and Tenant, subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease. 
  
 25. Estoppel Certificate. Landlord and Tenant
agree, at any time, and from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after written request of the other, to execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing in recordable form to the requesting party and/or its designee certifying that:
(i) this Lease is unmodified and in full force an effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect, as modified), (ii) the dates to which Base Tent, Additional Rent and other charges have been paid,
(iii) whether or not, to the best of its knowledge, there exists any failure by the requesting party to perform any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such failure, (iv) (if such be the case)
Tenant has unconditionally accepted the Demised Premises, subject to latent defects and the warranties pursuant to Section 17(h), and is conducting its business therein, and (v) and as to such additional matters as may be requested, it
being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by the requesting party and by any purchaser of title to the Demised Premises or by any mortgagee or any assignee thereof or any party to any sale-leaseback of the
Demised Premises, or the landlord under a ground lease affecting the Demised Premises. 
  
 26. Landlord Liability. No owner of the Demised Premises, whether or not named herein, shall have liability hereunder after it ceases to hold title to the Demised Premises, except for obligations which may have
theretofore accrued. Neither Landlord, nor any officer, director, shareholder, partner or principal of Landlord, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall be under any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease. In the
event Landlord is in breach or default with respect to Landlord’s obligations or otherwise under this Lease, Tenant shall look closely to the equity of Landlord in the Building for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies. It is expressly
understood and agreed that Landlord’s liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and obligations of this Lease shall in no event exceed the loss of Landlord’s equity interest in the Project. 
  
 27. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given or served by
either party to this Lease shall be deemed given when made in writing, and either (i) personally delivered, (ii) two (2) business days after being deposited with the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, to be mailed by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) delivered by licensed overnight delivery service providing proof of delivery, properly addressed to the address set forth in Section 1(m) (as the same may be changed by
giving written notice of the aforesaid in accordance with this Section 27). If any notice mailed is properly addressed with appropriate postage but returned for any reason, such notice shall be deemed to be effective notice and to be given on
the date of mailing. 
  
 28. Brokers. Neither Landlord nor
Tenant has engaged any brokers who would be entitled to any commission or fee based on the execution of this Lease, other than Transwestern Commercial Services (“Broker”) who shall be paid pursuant to separate agreement. Further, neither
Landlord nor Tenant have had any conversations or negotiations with any broker except the Broker concerning the leasing of the 

  

 PAGE 18 

 
Demised Premises to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant hereby indemnify each other against and from any claims for any brokerage commissions (except those payable
to the Broker, all of which are payable by Landlord) and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, for any breach of the foregoing. The foregoing
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Lease for any reason. 
  
 29. Assignment and Subleasing. 
  
 (a) Tenant may not assign, sublet, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease, or any interest hereunder, in whole or in part, without on each occasion first obtaining the prior express written
consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Any change in control of Tenant resulting from a merger, consolidation, stock transfer or asset sale, however, shall not be considered an assignment or
transfer, which requires Landlord’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Section 29, Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld consent if Landlord determines that (i) the prospective assignee is not of a financial strength
similar to Tenant as of the Lease Date, (ii) that the prospective assignee has a poor business reputation, or (iii) that the proposed use of the Demised Premises by such prospective assignee (including, without limitation, a use involving the use or
handling of Hazardous Substances) will negatively affect the value or marketability of the Building or the Project. 
  
 (b) If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice no later than twenty-one (21) days in advance of the
proposed effective date of any proposed assignment, specifying: (i) the name and business of the proposed assignee; (ii) the proposed use of the Demised Premises by the Assignee; and (iii) the proposed effective date of the assignment. Tenant shall
promptly supply Landlord with appropriate financial statements and other information as Landlord may reasonably request to evaluate the proposed assignment. Landlord shall have a period of fourteen (14) days following receipt of such notice and
other information timely requested by Landlord within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects: (i) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the proposed effective date set forth in Tenant’s notice, in which event
Tenant shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to such space, except for obligations under Sections 11 and 28 and all other provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the termination hereof; or (ii) to permit Tenant to assign
this Lease; or (iii) to refuse, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion (taking into account all relevant factors including, without limitation, the factors set forth in the Section 29(a) above), to consent to Tenant’s assignment and to
continue this Lease in full force and effect as to the entire Demised Premises. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within the aforesaid period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (iii) above. If
Landlord consents to Tenant’s assignment of this Lease, then, upon the assignment, Tenant shall be relieved of any further liabilities or responsibilities relating to future obligations of the Lease, save and except for those responsibilities
that will normally survive the expiration of the Lease. If Tenant desires to sublet this Lease or any portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice not later than twenty-one (21) days in advance of the proposed effective
date of any proposed subletting, specifying: (i) the name and business of the proposed subtenant; (ii) the proposed use of the Demised Premises by the proposed subtenant; and (iii) the proposed effective date and term of the tenancy. Tenant shall
promptly supply Landlord with financial statements and other information as Landlord may reasonably request to evaluate the proposed sub-tenancy. Landlord shall have a period of fourteen (14) days following receipt of such notice and other
information timely requested by Landlord within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord has approved the subleasing; and, therefore allows the subleasing, or that Landlord does not allow the subleasing, based upon the sub-lessee’s
desired use of the Demised Premises or the sub-lessee’s business reputation. In the case of an approved subtenant, Tenant shall remain fully responsible and liable for all terms of the Lease, throughout the Lease Term, including liability for
the occupancy of the subtenant. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for reasonable legal fees and any other reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any requested assignment or subletting, and such payments shall not be deducted from
the Additional Rent owed to Landlord pursuant to subsection (ii) above. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all documents executed in connection with any permitted assignment or subletting, which documents shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and which shall require such assignee to assume performance of all terms of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed. 
  
 30. Termination or Expiration. 
  
 (a) No termination of this Lease prior to the normal ending thereof, by lapse of time or otherwise, shall
affect Landlord’s right to collect rent for the period prior to termination thereof. 
  
 (b) At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises and all improvements,
alterations and additions thereto, and keys therefor 

  

 PAGE 19 

 
to Landlord, clean and neat, and in the same condition as at the Lease Commencement Date, excepting normal wear and tear, condemnation and casualty other
than that required to be insured against by Tenant hereunder. 
  
 (c) If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after expiration of the Term, with or without Landlord’s acquiescence and without any express agreement of the parties, Tenant shall be a
tenant-at-sufferance at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect at the end of the Term. Tenant shall also continue to pay all other Additional Rent due hereunder, and there shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of
law. 
  
 31. Intentionally Deleted. (Relocation Clause)

  
 32. Late Payments. In the event any installment of
rent, inclusive of Base Rent, or Additional Rent or other sums due hereunder, if any, is not paid (i) within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice of such failure to pay on the first occasion during any twelve
(12) month period, or (ii) as and when due with respect to any subsequent late payments in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall pay an administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of such past due amount, plus interest on
the amount past due at the lesser of (i) the maximum interest rate allowed by law or (ii) a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) to defray the additional expenses incurred by Landlord in processing
such payment. 
  
 33. Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees
to abide by the rules and regulations set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto, as well as other rules and regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord from time to time, so long as such rules and regulations are uniformly enforced against
all tenants of Landlord in the Building. 
  
 34. Quiet
Enjoyment. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, and so long as Tenant has not committed and Event of Default, as defined in Section 22 herein, which remains uncured, as further defined in Section 22 herein, Landlord
agrees that Tenant shall have the right to quietly use and enjoy the Demised Premises for the Term. 
  
 35. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) The parties hereto hereby covenant and agree that Landlord shall receive the Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by
Tenant hereinabove provided as net income from the Demised Premises, without any abatement (except as set forth in Section 20 and Section 21), reduction, set-off, counterclaim, defense or deduction whatsoever, except as specified in
Section 22 herein. 
  
 (b) If any clause or
provision of this Lease is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the Term, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected thereby, and that in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision there shall be substituted a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible
and be legal, valid and enforceable. 
  
 (c) All
rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative, but not restrictive to those given by law. 
  
 (d) Time is of the essence of this Lease. 
  
 (e) No failure of Landlord or Tenant to exercise any power given Landlord or Tenant hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by
Landlord or Tenant with its obligations hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver of Landlord’s or Tenant’s rights to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.

  
 (f) This Lease contains the entire agreement
of the parties hereto and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force and effect. The masculine (or neuter) pronoun, singular number shall include the
masculine, feminine and neuter gender and the singular and plural number. 
  
 (g) This contract shall create the relationship of Landlord and Tenant between Landlord and Tenant; is not subject to levy and sale, and is not assignable by Tenant except as expressly set forth herein. 
  

 PAGE 20 

 (h) Landlord and Tenant agree to execute, upon request of the other, a memorandum of this
Lease in recordable form and the requesting party shall pay the costs and charges for the recording of such memorandum of lease. Under no circumstances shall Tenant have the right to record this Lease (as opposed to a memorandum of Lease).

  
 (i) The captions of this Lease are for
convenience only and are not a part of this Lease, and do not in any way define, limit, describe or amplify the terms or provisions of this Lease or the scope or intent thereof. 
  
 (j) This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  
 (k) This Lease shall be interpreted under the laws of the State where the Demised Premises are located. 
  
 (l) The parties acknowledge that this Lease is the result of negotiations between the parties, and in construing any ambiguity hereunder
no presumption shall be made in favor of either party. No inference shall be made from any item which has been stricken from this Lease other than the deletion of such item. 
  
 (m) For all purposes in this Lease, a “Latent Defect” shall be defined as a defect which is not
readily and/or visibly discoverable and/or discernable, and not known to the Tenant, upon the Lease Date, but which is discovered and/or occurs within one (1) year thereafter or, with respect to electrical facilities within the Common Area,
buried water and sewer pipes, or fire sprinkler systems, at any time thereafter. 
  
 (n) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary stated herein, the Right of Expansion, defined in Section 38 herein, and the Right
of Renewal, defined in Section 39 herein, shall become null and void upon the occurrence of (i) an assignment of the Lease which is not a result of a “change in control”, as used in Section 29 hereof; (ii) a sublease,
as to the sub-lessee, of all or a part or the Demised Premises, or (iii) an early termination, as defined in Section 41 herein. 
  
 36. Lease Date. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Date” shall mean the date upon which this Lease is signed by Landlord or
Tenant, whichever is later. 
  
 37. Authority. If Tenant is
not natural person, Tenant shall cause its corporate secretary or general partner, or other authorized party, as applicable, to execute the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit D, promptly after Tenant’s Board of Directors has approved
this Lease, and not later than the Lease Date, confirming Tenant is authorized by all required corporate or partnership action to enter into this Lease and the individual(s) signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant are each authorized to bind Tenant
to its terms. 
  
 38. Right of Expansion. Provided the
Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing beyond applicable cure periods, as defined in Section 22 herein, and the Lease is then continuing and no facts or circumstances then exist which, with the
giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a continuing and reoccurring right of first offer to expand the Demised Premises (the “Right of Expansion”) to include
either an agreed upon portion of the 26,308 square foot area adjacent to the Demised Premises of the entire 26,308 square foot area adjacent to the Demised Premises, as depicted on Exhibit A, attached hereto, (the “Expansion Space”)
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
  
 (a) The term of the Right of Expansion shall commence upon the Lease Commencement Date and shall continue throughout the Term, and any exercised renewal term, of the Lease (the “Right of Expansion Period”), unless sooner
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. 
  
 (b)
Subject to the other terms of this Right of Expansion, after any part of the Expansion Space has or will “become available” (as defined herein) for leasing by Landlord, Landlord shall not, during the term of the Right of Expansion Period,
lease to another tenant that available portion of the Expansion Space (the “Available Expansion Space”) without first offering Tenant the right to lease such Available Expansion Space as set forth herein. 
  
 (i) Available Expansion Space shall be deemed to
“become available” when Landlord desires to lease all or a portion of the Expansion Space.

 (ii) Notwithstanding subsection b(i) above, Available Expansion Space shall not be deemed
to “become available” if the space is leased, assigned or subleased by the then current tenant of the Expansion Space; or is re-let by the then current tenant of the space pursuant to a renewal option originally existing within its then
current lease. 
  
 (c) For purposes of rental
calculation for Tenant’s Right of Expansion, the Base Rental Rate for the Available Offer Space, in its then “As-Is” condition (the “As-Is Base Rent”), shall be $7.00 per square foot, net of expenses, for calendar year 2005,
and, for subsequent years, the As-Is Base Rent shall be $7.00 per square foot, net of expenses, increased by 3% annually, compounded, to the then current year. 
  

(d) Consistent with subsection (b), Landlord shall not lease any such Available Expansion Space to another tenant unless and until
Landlord has first offered the Available Expansion Space to Tenant in writing (the “Offer”). The Offer shall contain (i) a description of the Available Expansion Space (which description shall include the square footage amount and
location of such Available Expansion Space) and an attached floor plan that shows the Available Expansion Space offered (the “Available Offer Space”); (ii) the date on which Landlord expects the Available Offer Space will be
available; (iii) the As-Is Base Rent for the Available Offer Space, based upon subsection (c) herein, plus (if, and only if, Tenant’s then current financial condition is reasonably acceptable to Landlord) rent attributable to Tenant
Finish Allowance of $15.00 per square foot of Available Expansion Space, plus brokerage leasing commission, if any, plus interim interest costs to borrow funds, calculated by considering the remaining unexpired term of the Lease (the amortization
term), and Landlord’s then current cost of funds (calculated at the same spread between the current Wall Street prime rate and Landlord’s stated 9% cost of funds, as of the Lease Date) ; (iv) the then current Operating Expenses for the
Available Expansion Space considering Tenant’s occupancy thereof; and (v) the additional Security Deposit required for the expansion. Upon receipt of the Offer, Tenant shall have the right, for a period of seven (7) calendar days
after receipt of the Offer, to exercise its Right of Expansion by giving Landlord written notice that Tenant desires to lease the Available Expansion Space either at the As-Is Base Rent, or as adjusted to take into consideration those factors
delineated in clause (iii) of this subsection (d) (the “Adjusted Base Rent”), and upon the special terms and conditions as are contained in the Offer. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s proposed Adjusted Base Rent and
Tenant seeks a Tenant Finish Allowance then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Adjusted Base Rent for the Available Expansion Space for an additional seven (7) day period. 
  
 (e) If, within such seven (7) day period, Tenant
exercises its Right of Expansion, either on an As-Is Base Rent basis or on Adjusted Base Rent basis, then Landlord and Tenant shall amend the Lease to include the Available Expansion Space subject to the same terms and conditions as the Lease, as
modified by subsection (d) above. The expiration date of the Lease shall not be changed, unless Landlord and Tenant mutually agree to modify and extend the Lease at this time. 
  
 (f) If, within such seven (7) day period, Tenant declines or fails to exercise its Right of Expansion,
Landlord shall then have the right to lease the Available Expansion Space in portions or in its entirety to a third party, at any time, and without regard to the effect such third party lease may have upon this Right of Expansion. 
  
 (g) Tenant’s Right of Expansion shall be continuing and
reoccurring throughout the term of the Lease, regardless of whether or not Tenant chooses to exercise its Right of Expansion at any time that it is offered by Landlord; and upon each subsequent occurrence that Available Expansion Space “
becomes available,” or Landlord receives an offer to lease Available Expansion Space to a third party tenant which Landlord is willing to accept, it shall first be offered to Tenant. 
  
 39. Right of Renewal. Provided the Lease is in full force and effect and no exercise of the early termination option
pursuant to Section 40 has occurred , no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing beyond applicable cure periods, as defined in Section 22 herein, and the Lease is then continuing and no facts or circumstances then exist which, with
the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, as of the Expiration Date, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right to exercise two (2) consecutive five (5) year lease renewal terms for the
Demised Premises , or the expanded Demised Premises, if previously expanded, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
  
 (a) Without the first five (5) year lease renewal term, there shall be no right to a second five (5) year lease renewal term. 

 
 (b) In order to exercise a second lease term renewal,
Tenant shall have fulfilled all requirements of this Lease throughout the term of the first lease renewal term. 
  

 PAGE 22 

 (c) For purposes of rental calculation for Tenant’s Right of Renewal, the Base
Rental Rate for Renewal, in the then “As-Is” condition (the “As-Is Base Renewal Rent”), shall be $7.00 per square foot, net of expenses, for calendar year 2005, compounded by the rate of 3% annually to the year of renewal.

  
 (d) Tenant may, by notifying Landlord of its
desire, in writing, not less than nine (9) months prior to the end of the then current Lease Term, to renew this Lease for an additional term beginning upon the day following the Expiration Date of the then current Lease Term and continuing of
sixty (60) months thereafter. The renewal of this Lease Agreement will be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions applicable during the then current Lease Term, as provided in this Lease, except that (i) the As-Is Base Renewal Rent
and Additional Rent, as defined in the Lease Agreement, payable during the renewal Lease Term shall be an amount equal to the then As-Is Base Renewal Rent, based upon subsection (c) herein, which may be adjusted, if applicable, to incorporate any
tenant finish or renovation funds, leasing commissions, any other allowances or funds provided by Landlord, plus interim interest cost of funds provided by Landlord (the “Renewal Rent”), plus the then current Operating Expenses for the
space, considering Tenant’s occupancy thereof; (ii) the defined term “Lease Term” shall be deemed to include the dates of the then applicable lease renewal period; and (iii) no free rent, allowances, options, construction
obligations or special rent concessions, if any, which were applicable to the original Lease Term shall apply during the subsequent renewal terms, unless subsequently agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant. 
  
 (e) Within ten (10) days following Tenant’s
notification to Landlord that Tenant wishes to exercise its Right of Renewal, Landlord shall deliver a renewal offer, in writing, to Tenant specifying the As-Is Base Renewal Rent, as defined in subsection (c) herein, with any adjustments to
incorporate other factors delineated in subsections (d) herein (the “Renewal Rent”). Within ten (10) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s offer, Tenant may accept or decline to accept the offer either on an
as-is, or renovated, basis. If Tenant declines or fails to accept Landlord’s offer as to the renewal on a renovated basis, then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Renewal Rent during the renewal term for an
additional ninety (90) day period. 
  
 (f)
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Renewal Rent for a renewal term within ninety (90) days, then, provided Tenant does not elect to renew the Lease on an as-is basis, Landlord shall be free to market the space for lease to
other parties; however, at any time prior to the Lease Expiration Date, should Landlord and Tenant come to agreement on the Renewal Rent, then the parties may proceed to modification of the Lease to incorporate the appropriate modification language.

  
 40. Tenant’s Right to Early Termination of Lease.
Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default has occurred and in continuing beyond applicable cure periods, as defined in Section 22 herein, and the Lease Agreement is then continuing and no facts or circumstances
then exist which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default; and Tenant has not expanded the Demised Premises by exercise of its Right of Expansion, as described in Section 38 herein, Tenant
shall be granted the one (1) time Right to Early Termination of Lease, at the end of the Eighty-Fourth (84th) month of the Lease Term. In order to terminate the Lease, under this Right of Early Termination of Lease, Tenant must: (a) give Landlord written notice, not later than the end of the Seventy-Second (72nd) month of the Lease Term, of its desire and intent to exercise its Right to Early Termination of Lease; (b) deliver
to Landlord an Early Lease Termination Payment in the amount of Two Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Nine and no/100 Dollars ($221,459.00), prior to the end of the Eighty-Fourth (84th) month of the Lease Term, to cover all unamortized tenant improvement allowances, plus broker commissions, moving allowances and interim interest cost of
borrowed funds, (c) vacate the Demised Premises prior to the end of the Eighty-Fourth (84th) month of the
Lease Term; and (iv) comply with all other requirements of the Lease regarding payment of rents and other expenses due prior to the Early Termination of Lease and regarding all requirements for repairs and restoration upon vacating the Demised
Premises. Upon Tenant’s performance of those requirements listed in subsections (a) – (c) herein, the Lease shall be automatically terminated and Tenant and Landlord shall each have nor further obligation toward the other, save
and except for those obligations that expressly survive the expiration and/or termination of the Lease.

 WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant executed a Lease Agreement dated the
                     day of             , 2005, a memorandum of which may
be recorded simultaneously herewith, covering certain Demised Premises therein described located on a parcel of land located in Dallas County, Texas, a legal description of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as
Schedule I (the “Property”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, Landlord
has executed a Deed of Trust (the “Mortgage”) dated the                      day of
            , 2005, and recorded under Instrument File Number              in the Office of the County Clerk of
Dallas County, Texas in favor of Lender, payable upon the terms and conditions described therein; and 
  
 WHEREAS, it is a condition to the loan secured by the Mortgage that the Mortgage shall unconditionally be and remain at all times a lien or charge upon

 AGREEMENT: 
  
 1. The Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage, and to
all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, and to all future advances made thereunder. 
  
 2. Should Lender become the owner of the Property, or should the Property be sold by reason of foreclosure, or other proceedings brought to enforce the

Tenant may cure the default, offset rent and/or terminate the Lease in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, notwithstanding any foreclosure or transfer of title to Lender; 
  
 (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which have accrued prior to the date of foreclosure, unless Tenant shall have

 (c) bound by any Rent that Tenant may have paid under the Lease more than one month in advance; 
  
 (d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease hereafter made

 This agreement is made this
                     day of
                     200  , by Valwood Service Center I, Ltd. (the “Landlord”), in favor of
                                        
             (the “Lender”), whose address is
                                        
                                    . 
  
 WHEREAS,
                                        
                                         (the
“Lender”), has or is about to enter into security transactions with Orchid Cellmark, Inc. (the “Debtor”), covering certain equipment, furniture and/or fixtures which are integrated into the Demised Premises located at 13988
Diplomat Drive (excluding improvements and betterments to the Demised Premises), whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Debtor, and the proceeds and products thereof, and all replacements, substitutions, additions and accessions thereto
(collectively the “Personal Property”); and 
  
 WHEREAS,
the Personal Property is now or may be located in the future at the Demised Premises, described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Demised Premises”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the undersigned has an interest in the Demised Premises as owner and
as lessor under a lease agreement between the undersigned, as lessor, and Debtor, as lessee, with respect to the Demised Premises (together with any amendments, modifications, supplements or renewals thereof, the Lease); 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable
consideration, each of the undersigned agree as follows: 
  
 The
undersigned subordinates, to the security interest of Lender, all rights of levy, destraint, possession or sale for unpaid rent or other payments due and payable to the undersigned with respect to the Personal Property. 
  
 The Personal Property may be installed on or otherwise affixed to the Demised
Premises and shall not be deemed an accession or addition to or fixture or part of the Demised Premises but shall at all times be considered Personal Property. 
  

Lender, or its representatives, may advertise and conduct a public auction or private sale of the Personal Property on the Premises and the undersigned
shall not interfere with any such auction or sale. Lender shall repair or reimburse the undersigned lessor for the cost of repair of any damage to the Demised Premises caused by the removal of any of the Personal Property, normal wear and tear of
Demised Premises excepted. 
  
 At the option of Lender, the
Personal Property may remain upon the Demised Premises (without Lender being deemed to be taking possession of the Demised Premises) for a period of thirty (30) days after Lender’s receipt of written notice from the undersigned directing
removal. During said thirty (30) day period, Lender shall pay rent to the undersigned lessor in an amount equal to the Base Rent, Operating Expenses and Additional Rent for such period, as provided under the Lease, prorated per diem on the
basis of a thirty (30) day month, but without incurring any other obligation of Debtor. 
  
 The undersigned lessor agrees to give notice to Lender, no less than five (5) business days prior to lessor’s termination of the Lease due to Debtor’s default of any of the provisions of the Lease, at:

  

					
			
	 	  	_____________________________	  	 
			
	 	  	_____________________________	  	 
			
	 	  	_____________________________	  	 
			
	 	  	Attn:_________________________	  	 

  
 Upon receipt of said notice, Lender
shall thereupon have the right but not the obligation to cure such default within ten (10) days. Any failure by Lender to cure such default shall not otherwise affect the rights of Lender hereunder. Failure by the undersigned to give such
notice shall not create any rights on behalf of Debtor to assert any claims against the undersigned. 
  
 This subordination is binding upon the undersigned and its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned and inures to the
benefit of Lender and the successors and assigns of same.

the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds (unless in the notice of borrowing the Borrower gives instructions that the funds shall be wired to another account, in which case the funds shall be so
wired to the designated account prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time). 
  
 (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one
Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of
such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall
be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the
Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not
sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans. 
  
 (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.8(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the
Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.8(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been
made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.8(b) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the
“Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid
with such Revolving Loans. 
  
 (d) Whenever,
at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to
such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal
and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the
event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender 

  

 30 

 
is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline
Lender. 
  
 (e) Each Revolving Lender’s
obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.8(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Revolving
Default or a Revolving Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5 (other than Section 5.3); (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower;
(iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

  
 2.9. Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily
amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December prior to, and on, the Revolving Termination Date,
commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. 
  
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan B Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Effective Date to but not including the earlier to
occur of (i) the Term Loan Funding Date and (ii) the termination of the Term Loan B Commitments, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Term Loan B Commitment of such Term Loan B Lender during the period for
which payment is made, payable on the earlier to occur of such dates. 
  
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 2.10. Optional Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The
Borrower shall have the right, upon notice (or, when accompanied by a prepayment of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, not less than one or three Business Days’ notice, respectively) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving
Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the
Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof,
and shall reduce ratably and permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. For purposes of the Existing Credit Agreement (x) accrued and unpaid commitment fees to the Effective Date shall be payable on December 31, 2005 and
(y) the notice referred to in the first sentence of Section 2.10 of the Existing Credit Agreement with respect to the reduction of the Revolving Commitments referred to therein shall not be required with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement to occur on the Effective Date. 
  

 31 

 2.11. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans,
in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of ABR
Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of
Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. 

 
 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If on any date TWTC, the Borrower
or any Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $20,000,000 from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, pursuant to
Section 2.12(b), toward the prepayment of the Term Loan B Loans of each Term Loan B Lender that accepts an offer of such prepayment as set forth in Section 2.12(b). If a Reinvestment Notice has been delivered with respect to a Reinvestment
Event, then on the relevant Reinvestment Prepayment Date an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to such Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loan B Loans of each Term Loan B Lender that
accepts an offer of such prepayment as set forth in Section 2.12(b). Any prepayments of the Term Loan B Loans of each Term Loan B Lender that accepts an offer of such prepayment shall be made prior to the time when the Borrower is required to
make an “Offer to Purchase” (as defined in the Second Lien Note Indenture) pursuant to Section 4.11(c) of the Second Lien Note Indenture. 
  
 (b) With respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment described in Section 2.12(a) (such amount, the “Term Loan B
Prepayment Amount”), the Borrower will, on the date specified in Section 2.12(a) for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and
provide to each Term Loan B Lender a notice (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”). As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Term Loan B Lender a Prepayment
Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit I-1, and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay on the date (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) that is 5 Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice,
the relevant Term Loan B Loans of such Term Loan B Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Term Loan B Prepayment Amount indicated in such Term Loan B Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Term Loan B
Lender’s Term Loan B Loans. On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Term Loan B Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the
outstanding relevant Term Loan B Loans in respect of which such Term Loan B Lenders have accepted prepayment as described above and the Borrower shall be entitled to retain the remaining portion of the Term Loan B Prepayment Amount not accepted by
the relevant Term Loan B Lenders. 
  

 32 

 (c) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made as so accepted by the
Term Loan B Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loan B Loans in accordance with Section 2.18(c). The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to
ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Term Loan B Loans under Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. 
  
 2.13. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect
from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made
on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such
election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that (i) no ABR Loan which is a Revolving Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan which is a Revolving Loan when any Revolving Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions and (ii) no ABR Loan which is a Term Loan B Loan may be
converted into a Eurodollar Loan which is a Term Loan B Loan when any Term Loan B Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Term Loan B Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to
permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 
  
 (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the
Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such
Loans, provided that (i) no Eurodollar Loan which is a Revolving Loan may be continued as such when any Revolving Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders have
determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations and (ii) no Eurodollar Loan which is a Term Loan B Loan may be continued as such when any Term Loan B Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent or the Required Term Loan B Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described
above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 
  
 2.14. Limitations on Eurodollar Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest
Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 10 Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 
  

 33 

 2.15. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day
during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of
any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that
would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion
of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as
before judgment). 
  
 (d) Interest shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
  
 2.16. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the
case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting
from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and
the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 
  
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15. 
  
 2.17. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 
  
 (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by
reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or 
  

 34 

 (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Revolving
Lenders or the Required Term Loan B Lenders, as the case may be, that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such
Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, 
  
 the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) either the Borrower may withdraw any request for a
borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Revolving Loans or Term Loan B Loans, as the case may be. that were to have been converted
on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Loans or Eurodollar Term Loan B Loans, as the case may be, shall be converted, on the last day of the
then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

  
 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each
borrowing by the Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee payable with respect to the Revolving Commitments and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders
shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Revolving Lenders. Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Term Loan B Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any
commitment fee payable with respect to the Term Loan B Commitments and any reduction of the Term Loan B Commitments of the Term Loan B Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan B Percentages of the relevant
Term Loan B Lenders. 
  
 (b) Each payment
(including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the
Revolving Lenders. 
  
 (c) Each payment
(including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loan B Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loan B Loans then held by the
Term Loan B Lenders (except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.12(b) and 2.25(b)). The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loan B Loans of any Term Loan B Lender shall be applied to reduce ratably the then remaining installments of the
Term Loan B Loans of such Term Loan B Lender based upon the then remaining principal amounts thereof. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loan B Loans may not be reborrowed. 
  
 (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of
principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders (in the
case of a payment made pursuant to the Revolving Facility) or the Term Loan B Lenders (in the case of a payment made pursuant to the Term Loan B Facility), at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payments to the Revolving Lenders (in the 

  

 35 

 
case of a payment made pursuant to the Revolving Facility) or the Term Loan B Lenders (in the case of a payment made pursuant to the Term Loan B Facility)
promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the
then applicable rate during such extension. 
  
 (e) (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Revolving Lender prior to a borrowing under the Revolving Facility that such Revolving Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of
such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such
amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Revolving Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent
submitted to any Revolving Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Revolving Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Revolving Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrower
(it being understood and agreed that any payment by the Borrower pursuant to the foregoing shall be without prejudice to its rights against any defaulting Revolving Lender. 
  
 (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Term Loan B Lender
prior to a borrowing under the Term Loan B Facility that such Term Loan B Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Term
Loan B Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Term Loan B Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate
for the period until such Term Loan B Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Term Loan B Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Term Loan B Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Term Loan B Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent 

  

 36 

 
shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrower (it
being understood and agreed that any payment by the Borrower pursuant to the foregoing shall be without prejudice to its rights against any defaulting Term Loan B Lender). 
  
 (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the
date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Revolving Lenders (in the case of payment made pursuant to the Revolving Facility) or the Term Loan B Lenders (in the case of a payment made pursuant to the Term Loan B Facility)
their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover, on demand, from each Revolving Lender (in the case of payment made pursuant to the Revolving Facility) or each Term Loan B Lenders (in the case of a payment made pursuant to the Term Loan B Facility) to which any amount which was made
available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender against the Borrower. 
  
 2.19. Requirements of Law.
(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 
  
 (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments
to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender); 
  
 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar
requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the
determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or 
  
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition; 
  
 and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost actually incurred or
reduced amount actually received; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90-day 

  

 37 

 
period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
paragraph, it shall promptly (and, in any event, within three months) notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 
  
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such
corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request
therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any
amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have
a retroactive effect, then such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. 
  
 (c) A certificate, setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation as to the reason for any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section, as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant
to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 2.20. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for
or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net
income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or
such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts
payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any 

  

 38 

 
Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this
Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except as, and to the extent that ,such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled,
at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

  
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the Collateral Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified
copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 
  
 (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case
of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors
thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms
shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender
shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to
provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required
to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
  
 (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in
which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is
legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and 

  

 39 

 
in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 
  
 (f) If any payee receives a refund of any Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.20, which refund in the sole judgment of such payee is allocable to such payment, such payee shall promptly pay over to the Borrower the amount of such refund, net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such payee; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of such payee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to such payee in the event such Lender, the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. 
  
 (g) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 2.21. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or
expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the
making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, as the case may be, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable
Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading
banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 2.22. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the
Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans and other extensions of credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such
event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that
nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a). 
  
 2.23. Replacement of Lenders. (a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Revolving Lender that (x) requests reimbursement for amounts
owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or (y) defaults in its obligation to make Revolving Loans (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender, Swingline Loans or, in the case of the Issuing Lender, defaults in its obligation to issue
Letters of Credit) hereunder, with a replacement financial institution or other entity; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Revolving Event of Default shall have occurred and be

  

 40 

 
continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Revolving Lender shall not have eliminated, after requested to do
so by the Borrower, the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution or other entity shall purchase, at par, all Revolving Loans and other amounts owing to such
replaced Revolving Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Revolving Lender under Section 2.21 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Revolving Lender shall be purchased other
than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution or other entity, if not already a Revolving Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such approval not
unreasonably to be delayed or withheld), (vii) the replaced Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be,
and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Lender shall have against the replaced Revolving Lender. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Term
Loan B Lender that (x) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or (y) defaults in its obligation to make Term Loan B Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution or other entity;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Term Loan B Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement,
such Term Loan B Lender shall not have eliminated, after requested to do so by the Borrower, the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution or other entity
shall purchase, at par, all Term Loan B Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Term Loan B Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Term Loan B Lender under Section 2.21 if
any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Term Loan B Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution or other entity, if not already a Term Loan B
Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such approval not unreasonably to be delayed or withheld), (vii) the replaced Term Loan B Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions
of Section 12.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional
amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Term Loan B Lender
shall have against the replaced Term Loan B Lender. 
  
 (c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to Section 12.1 (a “Proposed Change”) the consent of at least two-thirds of the required vote is obtained, but the
consent of one or more Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, one or more Persons
who have consented to such Proposed Change and are designated by the Borrower (which for purposes of this Section 2.23(c) shall not be the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance
not unreasonably to be withheld or delayed) shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting 

  

 41 

 
Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Borrower’s request, sell and assign to such Person(s), all of the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting
Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated at par pursuant
to a Revolving Assignment and Assumption or a Term Loan B Assignment and Assumption, as the case may be. 
  
 2.24. Change of Control (Revolving Facility). Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event or a Specified Change of Control,
(i) the Borrower shall not have any right to request an extension of credit under the Revolving Facility and (ii) at the request of the Required Revolving Lenders (or of the Administrative Agent acting at the request or with the consent of
the Required Revolving Lenders), (a) the Borrower shall immediately repay all extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility then outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) all Revolving Commitments shall
immediately terminate, without other or further action by any Person. 
  
 2.25. Change of Control (Term Loan B Facility). (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Borrower shall immediately prepay all outstanding Term Loan B Loans of each Term Loan B Lender that requests such
prepayment in accordance with Section 2.25(b). 
  
 (b) With respect to the amount of any prepayment described in Section 2.25(a) (such amount, the “Term Loan B Change of Control Prepayment Amount”), the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such amount to the
prepayment of Term Loan B Loans as provided in paragraph 2.12(c), on the date specified in Section 2.25(a) for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative
Agent prepare and provide to each Term Loan B Lender a notice (each, a “Change of Control Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent will send to each Term Loan B Lender a Change of Control Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit I-2, and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay on the date (each a “Change of Control Prepayment
Date”) that is 10 Business Days after the date of the Change of Control Prepayment Option Notice, the relevant Term Loan B Loans of such Term Loan B Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Term Loan B Change of Control Prepayment
Amount indicated in such Term Loan B Lender’s Change of Control Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan B Loans. On the Change of Control Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the
relevant Term Loan B Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Term Loan B Loans in respect of which such Term Loan B Lenders have accepted prepayment as described above and the Borrower shall be
entitled to retain the remaining portion of the Term Loan B Change of Control Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant term Loan B Lenders. 
  
 SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT 
  
 3.1. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving
Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time
to time by the Issuing 

  

 42 

 
Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations
would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) have a face amount of at least $500,000
(unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender) and (iii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date,
provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). 
  
 (b) The Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit
hereunder if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 5.4 are not
satisfied. 
  
 3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of
Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the
Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other
papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of
Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary
thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower or at its direction promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall
promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). 
  
 3.3. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the undrawn portion of all outstanding Letters of
Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Revolving Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the
issuance date. 
  
 (b) In addition to the
foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise
administering any Letter of Credit. 
  
 3.4. L/C
Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase
and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the
Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally 

  

 43 

 
and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by
the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s Funding Office (and thereafter the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. 
  
 (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to the Issuing
Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, who shall notify such L/C Participant and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Issuing Lender on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the
period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and
the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, by such L/C Participant within
three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at
the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. 
  
 (c) Whenever,
at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing
Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender
will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such L/C Participant), its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that
in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender (and thereafter the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender), the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender. 
  
 3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. Unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Required Lenders, the Borrower agrees to
reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and
(b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the
United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable 

  

 44 

 
on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this Section from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.15(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(c). 
  
 3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this
Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things,
the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or
any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in
accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 
  
 3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for
payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of
Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are
substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 
  
 3.8.
Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. 
  
 SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 (A) Representations and Warranties with respect to the Revolving
Commitments. 
  
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the
Revolving Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Revolving Lenders to make the Revolving Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, TWTC (as to itself and its Subsidiaries) and the Borrower (as to itself and its
Subsidiaries) hereby severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Revolving Lender that: 
  
 4.1. Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of TWTC as at December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
income and of cash flows for the fiscal 
  

 45 

 
year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Ernst & Young LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of TWTC as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of TWTC as at September 30, 2005, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of TWTC as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated
cash flows for the nine-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout
the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). TWTC and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term
leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred
to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2004 to and including the Effective Date there has been no Disposition by TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property. 
  
 4.2. No Change. Since December 31, 2004, there has been no
development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of TWTC and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority under its constitutive documents, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in
which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that any failure to have such power, authority or right, as the case may be, could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified, could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the
failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.4. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party will have the power and authority under its constitutive documents, and the
legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party prior to the execution of any such Loan Documents, subject, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Specified Subsidiary, to the final proviso to each such
definition. The Borrower has the power and authority under its constitutive documents, and the legal right, to obtain extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments. Each Loan Party will have taken all necessary organizational action under its
constitutive documents to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party prior to the execution of any such Loan Documents, subject, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Specified Subsidiary, to
the final proviso to each such definition. The Borrower has taken all necessary organizational action under its constitutive documents to authorize the extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents by or on behalf of the Loan Parties, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations,
filings and notices shall be obtained or made and shall be in full force and effect within 180 days (or such greater 
  

 46 

 
number of days as the Administrative Agent may agree) of the Effective Date (except that no such filings will have been obtained or made with respect to
certain real and personal property excluded from the Collateral under the Security Documents) and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document as of its date will be, duly executed and
delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan
Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable
principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
  
 4.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings under the Revolving Commitments and the use of the
proceeds of the Revolving Loans will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties
or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted under Section 7.3 and other than the potential violation of any Contractual Obligation which could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.6. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of TWTC or the Borrower, threatened by or against TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any
of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.7. No Default. Neither TWTC nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its
Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
  
 4.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of TWTC and its Subsidiaries
has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest (or a license or an indefeasible right of use) in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest (or a license or an indefeasible right of use) in, all its other
property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except (x) as permitted by Section 7.3 and (y) for any immaterial defects in title. 
  
 4.9. Intellectual Property. TWTC and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of
its business as currently conducted except (a) certain licenses relating to certain trademarks, tradenames and similar Intellectual Property owned by Time Warner, Inc. may be withdrawn at the election of Time Warner, Inc. and (b) certain
minor imperfections and other adverse interests which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect may exist with respect to certain Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of TWTC or the Borrower, no claim has been asserted
and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does TWTC or any of
its Subsidiaries know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by TWTC and its Subsidiaries does not 
  

 47 

 
infringe on the rights of any Person to the extent or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.10. Taxes. Each of TWTC and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to
be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or
other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been
provided on the books of TWTC or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of TWTC and the Borrower, no material claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. 

 
 4.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Revolving
Loans, and no other extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now
and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. 
  
 4.12. Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of TWTC or the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made
to employees of TWTC and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries on account
of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of TWTC or the relevant Subsidiary. 
  
 4.13. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event with respect to a Plan which, if terminated, would result in material liability nor an “accumulated
funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and
each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan, other than a standard termination pursuant to Section 4041(b) of ERISA, has occurred, and no
Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period, in either case with respect to which the Borrower has any outstanding liability. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those
assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material
amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA which has not been
satisfied as of the Effective Date, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would to the knowledge of the Borrower become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were
to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. 
  

 48 

 4.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation
X of the Board and certain laws and regulations regulating utilities) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 
  
 4.15. Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.15 sets forth, as of the Effective Date, the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to
each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party, and there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to
employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of TWTC, except as created by the Loan Documents or the security documents relating to the Second Lien Notes.

  
 4.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving
Loans, the Swingline Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used for general corporate purposes of TWTC, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries. 
  
 4.17. Environmental Matters. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

  
 (a) the Properties do not contain any
Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute a violation of, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law; 
  
 (b) neither TWTC nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any written notice of any violation, alleged violation, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does TWTC or the Borrower have
knowledge that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; 
  
 (c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under,
any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability
under, any applicable Environmental Law; 
  
 (d)
no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of TWTC or the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which TWTC or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the
Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; 
  
 (e) there has been no release or threat of release of
Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of TWTC or any Subsidiary in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the 

  

 49 

 
Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws; and 
  
 (f) the Properties and all operations at the Properties or
otherwise in respect to the Business are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws. 
  
 4.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information
Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the Effective Date), any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, when taken as a whole and in conjunction with TWTC’s public filings and disclosures, not misleading. The projections contained in the
materials referenced above were based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of TWTC to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Revolving Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future
events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. As of the Effective Date, there is no fact
known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in TWTC’s public filings and disclosures, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information
Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished prior to the Effective Date by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 
  
 4.19. Security
Documents. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the pledged stock
described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such pledged stock (together with blank assignments) are delivered to the Collateral Agent (or the Collateral Agent otherwise obtains control thereof under the
UCC) (and for so long as they are held by the Collateral Agent in the State of New York), and in the case of the other Collateral (other than that which is required to be perfected by possession or control) described in the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, when Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof to the extent perfection may be
accomplished by the filing of such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other filings, as security for the Secured Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

  
 4.20. Solvency. Except for any Shell Subsidiaries, each
Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent. 
  
 4.21. Priority Lien Debt. The Obligations constitute (i) “Priority Lien Debt” (or any other term
having a similar meaning) of the Borrower under and as defined in the High Yield Indentures (and any indenture governing any Refinancing of the Existing Senior Notes or the High Yield Notes, if 
  

 50 

 
applicable, and any indenture governing any Refinancing of any such refinancing Indebtedness, if applicable) and (ii) “First Priority
Obligations” under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitute (i) “Priority Lien Debt” (or any other term having a similar
meaning) of such Subsidiary Guarantor under and as defined in the High Yield Indentures (and any indenture governing any Refinancing of the Existing Senior Notes or the High Yield Notes, if applicable, and any indenture governing any Refinancing of
any such refinancing Indebtedness, if applicable) and (ii) “First Priority Obligations” under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  
 (B) Representations and Warranties with respect to the Term Loan B Commitments. 
  
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the Term Loan B Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Term Loan B
Lenders to make the Term Loan B Loans, TWTC (as to itself and its Subsidiaries) and the Borrower (as to itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Term Loan B Lender
that: 
  
 4.22. Financial Condition. The audited
consolidated balance sheet of TWTC as at December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from
Ernst & Young LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of TWTC as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of TWTC as at September 30, 2005, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of TWTC as at such
date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto,
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). TWTC and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee
Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of
derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2004 to and including the Effective Date there has been no Disposition by TWTC or any of its
Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property. 
  
 4.23. No Change. Since December 31, 2004, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.24. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of TWTC and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority under its constitutive documents, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and
to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that any failure to have such power, authority or right, as the case may be, could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
(c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified, could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except
to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 51 

 4.25. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party will have the power and
authority under its constitutive documents, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party prior to the execution of any such Loan Documents, subject, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Specified
Subsidiary, to the final proviso to each such definition. The Borrower has the power and authority under its constitutive documents, and the legal right, to obtain extensions of credit under the Term Loan B Commitments. Each Loan Party will have
taken all necessary organizational action under its constitutive documents to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party prior to the execution of any such Loan Documents, subject, in the case of a
Subsidiary Guarantor or a Specified Subsidiary, to the final proviso to each such definition. The Borrower has taken all necessary organizational action under its constitutive documents to authorize the extensions of credit under the Term Loan B
Commitments on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of
credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents by or on behalf of the Loan Parties, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in
Schedule 4.25, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices shall be obtained or made and shall be in full force and effect within 180 days (or such greater number of days as the Administrative Agent may agree) of the Effective Date (except
that no such filings will have been obtained or made with respect to certain real and personal property excluded from the Collateral under the Security Documents) and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.40. This Agreement has been,
and each other Loan Document as of its date will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
  
 4.26. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the
borrowings under the Term Loan B Commitments and the use of the proceeds of the Term Loan B Loans will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted under Section 7.3 and other than the potential violation
of any Contractual Obligation which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.27. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of TWTC or the Borrower, threatened by or against TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries or
against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  
 4.28. No Default. Neither TWTC nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Term Loan B Default or Term Loan B Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. 
  

 52 

 4.29. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of TWTC and its Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to,
or a valid leasehold interest (or a license or an indefeasible right of use) in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest (or a license or an indefeasible right of use) in, all its other property, and none of such
property is subject to any Lien except (x) as permitted by Section 7.3 and (y) for any immaterial defects in title. 
  
 4.30. Intellectual Property. TWTC and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of
its business as currently conducted except (a) certain licenses relating to certain trademarks, tradenames and similar Intellectual Property owned by Time Warner, Inc. may be withdrawn at the election of Time Warner, Inc. and (b) certain
minor imperfections and other adverse interests which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect may exist with respect to certain Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of TWTC or the Borrower, no claim has been asserted
and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does TWTC or any of
its Subsidiaries know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by TWTC and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person to the extent or in any manner that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 4.31. Taxes. Each of TWTC and
its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its
property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith and with respect to which reserves in
conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of TWTC or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of TWTC and the Borrower, no material claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee
or other charge. 
  
 4.32. Federal Regulations. No part of
the proceeds of any Term Loan B Loans, and no other extensions of credit under the Term Loan B Commitments, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted
terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Term Loan B Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), the Borrower
will furnish to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan B Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. 
  
 4.33. Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of TWTC or the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made
to employees of TWTC and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries on account
of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of TWTC or the relevant Subsidiary. 
  
 4.34. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event with respect to a Plan which, if terminated, would result in material liability nor an “accumulated
funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and
each Plan has 

  

 53 

 
complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan, other than a standard
termination pursuant to Section 4041(b) of ERISA, has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period, in either case with respect to which the Borrower has any outstanding liability. The
present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed
the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA which has not been satisfied as of the Effective Date, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would to the knowledge of the Borrower become subject to any
material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed
made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. 
  
 4.35. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board and certain laws and regulations regulating utilities) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 
  
 4.36. Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.36 sets forth, as of the Effective
Date, the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party, and there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights
or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of TWTC, except as created by the
Loan Documents or the security documents relating to the Second Lien Notes. 
  
 4.37. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loan B Loans shall be used for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Following the Effective Date, and after giving effect to the Term Loan B Loans
and the application of the proceeds thereof, TWTC intends to call for redemption and thereupon redeem, $200,000,000 of the 2008 Senior Notes. 
  
 4.38. Environmental Matters. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

  
 (a) the Properties do not contain any
Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute a violation of, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law; 
  
 (b) neither TWTC nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any written notice of any violation, alleged violation, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does TWTC or the Borrower have
knowledge that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; 
  

 54 

 (c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the
Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at,
on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law; 
  
 (d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of TWTC
or the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which TWTC or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders,
administrative orders or other orders outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; 
  
 (e) there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or
related to the operations of TWTC or any Subsidiary in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws; and

  
 (f) the Properties and all operations at the
Properties or otherwise in respect to the Business are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws. 
  
 4.39. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document,
the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Term Loan B Lenders, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the Effective Date), any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, when taken as a whole and in conjunction with TWTC’s public filings and disclosures, not misleading. The
projections contained in the materials referenced above were based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of TWTC to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Term Loan B Lenders that such financial
information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. As of the
Effective Date, there is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in TWTC’s public filings and disclosures, in the other Loan Documents, in
the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished prior to the Effective Date by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and the Term Loan B Lenders for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 
  
 4.40. Security Documents. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In
the case of the pledged stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such pledged stock (together with blank 

  

 55 

 
assignments) are delivered to the Collateral Agent (or the Collateral Agent otherwise obtains control thereof under the UCC) (and for so long as they are
held by the Collateral Agent in the State of New York), and in the case of the other Collateral (other than that which is required to be perfected by possession or control) described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof to the extent perfection may be accomplished by the filing of
such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other filings, as security for the Secured Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 7.3). 
  
 4.41. Solvency. Except for any Shell Subsidiaries, each Loan Party is,
and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent. 
  
 4.42. Priority Lien Debt. The Obligations constitute (i) “Priority Lien Debt” (or any other term having a similar meaning) of the
Borrower under and as defined in the High Yield Indentures (and any indenture governing any Refinancing of the Existing Senior Notes or the High Yield Notes, if applicable, and any indenture governing any Refinancing of any such refinancing
Indebtedness, if applicable) and (ii) “First Priority Obligations” under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitute
(i) “Priority Lien Debt” (or any other term having a similar meaning) of such Subsidiary Guarantor under and as defined in the High Yield Indentures (and any indenture governing any Refinancing of the Existing Senior Notes or the High
Yield Notes, if applicable, and any indenture governing any Refinancing of any such refinancing Indebtedness, if applicable) and (ii) “First Priority Obligations” under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.

 (e) TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Shell Subsidiary or an Immaterial Subsidiary) shall (i) default in making any
payment of any principal of any Indebtedness (including any Guarantee Obligation, but excluding the Revolving Loans) on the scheduled or original due date, whichever is later, with respect thereto (giving effect to any applicable grace periods); or

 then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is a Revolving Event of Default specified in clause (i) or
(ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Revolving Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and
payable, and (B) if such event is any other Revolving Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the

to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations
of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as

provided, however, that any event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to the Borrower, TWTC or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall
be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (ii); 
  
 (iii) Indebtedness issued in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refinance or refund, then outstanding Indebtedness
(other than Indebtedness Incurred under clause (i), (ii), (iv), (viii), (ix) or (xii) of this paragraph (b)) and any refinancings thereof in an amount not to exceed the amount so refinanced or refunded (plus premiums, accrued interest,

be refinanced is subordinated to the Term Loan B Loans, the TWTC Guarantee or the TWTC Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable; and (C) such new Indebtedness, determined as of the date of Incurrence of such new Indebtedness, does not mature prior
to the Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded, and the Average Life of such new Indebtedness is at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded; and provided further that
in no event may (I) Indebtedness of TWTC be refinanced by means of any Indebtedness of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (iii) or

rates or interest rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder, and (C) arising from agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, or from Guarantees or letters of
credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any obligations of the Borrower or TWTC or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of either pursuant to such agreements, in any case Incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets
or Restricted Subsidiary (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition), in a principal amount not to exceed
the gross proceeds actually received by the Borrower, TWTC or any Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, in connection with such disposition;

Proceeds are used to consummate a transaction pursuant to which the Borrower or TWTC, as applicable, Incurs Acquired Indebtedness, the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds exceeds one half of the amount of Acquired Indebtedness so Incurred and
(B) 80% of the fair market value of property (other than cash and cash equivalents) received by the Borrower or TWTC, as applicable, after the Existing High Yield Closing Date from the sale of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock)
to a Person that is not TWTC or a Subsidiary of TWTC, to the extent (I) such sale of Capital Stock has not been used pursuant to clause (C)(2) of Section 9.3(a) or clause (iii), (iv), (vi) or (vii) of Section 9.3(b) to make
a Restricted Payment and (II) if such Capital Stock is used to consummate a transaction pursuant to which the Borrower or TWTC, as applicable, Incurs Acquired Indebtedness, 80% of the fair market value of the property received exceeds one half of
the amount of Acquired Indebtedness so Incurred; provided that such Indebtedness does not mature prior to the Stated Maturity of the Term Loan B Loans and has an Average Life longer than the Term Loan B Loans;

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.2, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Borrower, TWTC or a
Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. 
  
 (d) For purposes of determining any particular amount of
Indebtedness under this Section 9.2, Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 9.2, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in the above clauses, the Borrower or TWTC, as applicable, in its sole discretion, shall
classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such 

  

 82 

 
item of Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses. 
  
 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar
denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Dollar equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in
effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, provided that (x) the Dollar equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on February 20, 2004 shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in
effect on February 20, 2004 and (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if
calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness, converted
into the currency in which the Indebtedness being refinanced is denominated at the currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced (plus premiums, accrued
interest, fees and expenses). The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the foreign currency exchange
rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
  
 (f) The Borrower and TWTC jointly and severally agree that neither the Borrower nor TWTC nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall Incur any
Indebtedness that pursuant to its terms is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Term Loan B Loans, the TWTC Guarantee or the TWTC Subsidiary Guarantee, as
applicable, to the same extent; provided that Indebtedness will not be considered subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a greater or lesser extent or with greater
or lower priority. 
  
 9.3. Limitation on Restricted
Payments. (a) The Borrower and TWTC jointly and severally agree that the Borrower and TWTC shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of either the Borrower or TWTC to, directly or indirectly:

 83 

 
Subsidiary) or any holder (or any Affiliate of such holder) of 5% or more of the Capital Stock of TWTC; 
  
 (iii) make any voluntary or optional principal payment,

 (iv) make any Investment, other than a
Permitted Investment, in any Person

Existing High Yield Closing Date shall exceed the sum of (1) the amount by which Consolidated EBITDA of TWTC exceeds 150% of Consolidated Interest Expense of TWTC, in each case, determined on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one
accounting period) beginning on the first day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the Existing High Yield Closing Date and ending on the last day of the last fiscal quarter preceding the Transaction Date for which reports have been filed
with the Commission or provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.15, plus (2) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the fair market value of all non-cash proceeds received by the Borrower or TWTC after the Existing High

Indebtedness of the Borrower or TWTC for cash subsequent to the Existing High Yield Closing Date upon the conversion of such Indebtedness into Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower or TWTC, or from the issuance to a Person
who is not a Subsidiary of the Borrower or TWTC of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Capital Stock of the Borrower or TWTC (in each case, exclusive of any Disqualified Stock or any options, warrants or other rights that are redeemable
at the option of the holder, or are required to be redeemed, prior to the Stated Maturity of the Term Loan B Loans), in each case except to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds and non-cash proceeds are used to Incur Indebtedness pursuant to clause
(viii) of Section 9.2(b), plus (3) an amount equal to the net reduction in Investments (other than reductions in Permitted Investments) in any Person resulting from payments of interest on Indebtedness, dividends, repayments of loans

 11.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys
in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
  
 11.3.
Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to
any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred
to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender 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 properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 
  
 11.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably 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 TWTC or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it. The
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence, as it deems appropriate, of
the Person(s) whose consent is required as specified in Sections 12.1 or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Revolving Lenders or the Term Loan B Lenders, as the case may be, against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing 

  

 96 

 
to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Person(s) whose consent is required as specified in Section 12.1, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
  
 11.5. Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default hereunder unless the
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Revolving Lender, TWTC or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In
the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall send a copy of such notice to the Revolving Lenders, the Borrower and TWTC. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Term Loan B Default or Term Loan B Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Term Loan B Lender, TWTC or
the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Term Loan B Default or Term Loan B Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall send a copy of such notice to the Term Loan B Lenders, the Borrower and TWTC. Subject to Section 12.16 of this Agreement and Section 8.19 of the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall take such action with respect to any Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Facility Lenders; provided that
unless and until the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral 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 in the best interests of the Lenders. Subject to Section 12.16 of this Agreement and Section 8.19 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall take such action with respect to any Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Revolving Lenders; provided that unless and until the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Revolving Lenders. Subject to Section 12.16 of this Agreement and Section 8.19 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall take such action with respect to any Term Loan B Default or Term Loan B Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Term Loan B Lenders; provided
that unless and until the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Term Loan B Default or Term Loan B Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Term Loan B Lenders. 
  
 11.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and 

  

 97 

 
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent 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 analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Revolving Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Revolving Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan
Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Term Loan B Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Term Loan
B Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
  
 11.7. Indemnification. (a) Insofar as the same relates to the Revolving Facility or the Revolving Extensions of Credit, the Revolving Lenders agree
to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Revolving Exposure Percentages in
effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in
accordance with such Aggregate Revolving Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no
Revolving Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 (b) Insofar as the same relates to the Term Loan B Facility or the Term Loan B Loans, the Term Loan B Lenders agree to indemnify each
Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Term Loan B Exposure Percentages in effect on the date
on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Term Loan B Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loan B Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with
such Aggregate Term Loan B Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever
that may at any time (whether before or after the payment 

  

 98 

 
of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Term Loan B Commitments, this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided that no Term Loan B Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that have resulted from
such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loan B Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 11.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and
generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual
capacity. 
  
 11.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Revolving Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) or a Term Loan Event of Default under Section 10(a)
or Section 10(f), in each case, with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights,
powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has
accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 11.10. Successor Collateral Agent. Subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless a Revolving Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f)
or Term Loan B Event of Default under Section 10(a) or Section 10(f), in each case, with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and
the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of 

  

 99 

 
the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date that is 30 days
following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Administrative Agent shall assume and perform all of the duties of the
Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 11.11. Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent. Neither the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agent shall have any duties or
responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such. 
  
 11.12.
Confirmation. Without intending to derogate from the discretion retained by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under each of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, as the “Controlling Party” under the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement, and the Collateral Agent, hereby confirm and agree that with respect to amendments, supplements, or modifications to, and waivers and releases of, any of the terms and provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
the Intercreditor Agreement or with respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof or with respect to the Obligors (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) that are (i) requested or consented to by TWTC or the Borrower,
(ii) approved or not opposed by the Required Lenders, and (iii) not inconsistent with or contrary to the provisos to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, shall be effected or accomplished as promptly as is
reasonably practicable. 
  
 SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

  
 12.1. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Subject to
Section 12.16, neither this Agreement, nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.1 and, in the case of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of Section 9.3 thereof and, in the case of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the provisions of Section 8.2 thereof. 
  
 (b) Subject to the foregoing and Section 12.16, the Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to
the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be) and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time,
(x) enter into written amendments (including amendments and restatements), supplements, or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing
in any manner the rights or obligations of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (y) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be),

Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as the case many be), with the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders shall waive any Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default and its consequences, including, without limitation, the
termination of the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans being due and payable and (B) only the Required Term Loan B Lenders or the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be), with the written consent of

modification shall (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Revolving Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable with respect to the Revolving Facility or the Revolving
Extensions of Credit (except 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 fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the
scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Revolving Lender directly affected thereby;
(ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Revolving Lender under Section 2.1(b) or this Section 12.1 without the written consent of such Revolving Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of

Loan B Lender directly affected thereby; (vii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Term Loan B Lender under this Section 12.1 without the written consent of such Term Loan B Lender; (viii) reduce any percentage specified in

Term Loan B Lender adversely affected thereby; (x) amend or modify any provision of Section 12.6(c)(ii) to add any additional consent requirements necessary to effect any assignment under such Section without the written consent of the
Supermajority Term Loan B Lenders; (xi) exercise any remedies under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or take any “Enforcement Action” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) without the written consent of the Majority

the Issuing Lender. It is agreed and 

  

 101 

 
understood that the voting requirements contained in clauses (i) through (v) in the immediately preceding sentence shall not require any vote of
any Term Loan B Lender and that the voting requirements contained in clauses (vi) through (x) in the immediately preceding sentence shall not require any vote of any Revolving Lender. 
  
 (c) Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement
or modification made with respect to the Revolving Facility shall apply equally to each of the Revolving Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Revolving Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and all future holders
of the Revolving Loans. In the case of any waiver under the Revolving Facility, the Loan Parties, the Revolving Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, and any Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default (or, insofar as the Revolving Facility is concerned, Default or Event of Default) waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Revolving Default or Revolving Event of Default (or, insofar as the Revolving Facility is concerned, Default or Event of Default), or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or
modification made with respect to the Term Loan B Facility shall apply equally to each of the Term Loan B Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Term Loan B Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and all future
holders of the Term Loan B Loans. In the case of any waiver under the Term Loan B Facility, the Loan Parties, the Term Loan B Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, and any Term Loan B Default or Term Loan B Event of Default (or, insofar as the Term Loan B Facility is concerned, Default or Event of Default) waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Term Loan B Default or Term Loan B Event of Default (or, insofar as the Term Loan B Facility is concerned, Default or Event of Default), or impair any right consequent thereon. Any other such waiver and
any other such amendment, supplement or modification made shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.

  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary above, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without its further consent, to enter into amendments to this Agreement (including, without limitation, amendments to this Section 12.1) and the other
Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate in order to effectuate an Incremental Facility, including, without limitation, amendments to permit the Incremental Loans to share ratably (to the extent that such benefits
are otherwise available to all Lenders) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to include appropriately the Lenders under an Incremental Facility in any determination of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such amendment shall modify any provision described in clauses (i), (ii), (vi) and (vii) of Section 12.1(b) or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Lender, in each case without the written consent of
such Lender. 
  
 (e) In addition, this
Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the 

  

 102 

 
extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to include
appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other

than in respect of intercreditor disputes arising from the Intercreditor Agreement), the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers,
(c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp,

modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent , the Collateral Agent and the
Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such
other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of TWTC or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that neither TWTC nor the Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. It is understood and agreed that, to the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest, each Indemnitee shall endeavor to work cooperatively with a view to minimizing the legal and
other expenses associated with any defense and any potential settlement or judgment. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, TWTC agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby
waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, 

  

 104 

 
damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against
any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 12.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by TWTC or the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.5 shall be submitted to the address of
the Borrower set forth in Section 12.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 12.5 shall survive repayment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 12.6.
Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of TWTC, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and
assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender. 
  
 (b) (i) Any Revolving Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or
any Agent, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Revolving Participant”) participating interests in any Revolving Loan owing to such Revolving
Lender, any Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender or any other interest of such Revolving Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Revolving Lender of a participating interest to a Revolving
Participant, such Revolving Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Revolving Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Revolving Lender shall
remain the holder of any such Revolving Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Revolving Lender in connection with
such Revolving Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Revolving Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any
Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the
date of the final maturity of the Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Revolving Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared
or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of a Revolving Event of Default, each Revolving Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff 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 Revolving Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in purchasing such participating interest,
such Revolving Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Revolving Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 12.7(a)(i) as fully as if it were a Revolving Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each
Revolving Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Revolving Lender;
provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Revolving Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section; and provided, further, that no Revolving Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor 

  

 105 

 
Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Revolving Lender to such
Revolving Participant had no such transfer occurred. In the event that any Revolving Lender sells participations in a Revolving Loan, such Revolving Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Revolving
Loans held by it (the “Revolving Participant Register”). A Revolving Loan (and the Revolving Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Revolving
Participant Register. 
  
 (ii) Any Term Loan
B Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any Agent, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Term Loan B
Participant”) participating interests in any Term Loan B Loan owing to such Term Loan B Lender, any Term Loan B Commitment of such Term Loan B Lender or any other interest of such Term Loan B Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Term Loan B Lender of a participating interest to a Term Loan B Participant, such Term Loan B Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Term Loan B Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Term Loan B Lender shall remain the holder of any such Term Loan B Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Term Loan B Lender in connection with such Term Loan B Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any
Term Loan B Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment,
waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Term Loan B Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Term Loan B Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The
Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Term Loan B Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of a Term Loan B Event of Default, each Term Loan B
Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff 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 Term Loan B Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Term Loan B Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Term Loan B Lenders the
proceeds thereof as provided in Section 12.7(a)(i) as fully as if it were a Term Loan B Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Term Loan B Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with
respect to its participation in the Term Loan B Commitments and the Term Loan B Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Term Loan B Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Term Loan B Participant shall have
complied with the requirements of said Section; and provided, further, that no Term Loan B Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Term Loan B Lender would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Term Loan B Lender to such Term Loan B Participant had no such transfer occurred. In the event that any Term Loan B Lender sells participations in a
Term Loan B Loan, such Term Loan B Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the 

  

 106 

 
Term Loan B Loans held by it (the “Term Loan B Participant Register”). A Term Loan B Loan (and the Term Loan B Note, if any, evidencing the
same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Term Loan B Participant Register. 
  
 (c) (i) Any Revolving Lender other than any Conduit Lender (a “Revolving Assignor”) may, in accordance with
applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Revolving Lender, any Affiliate of any Revolving Lender or any Approved Fund or, with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which, in each case,
shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (a “Revolving Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
pursuant to a Revolving Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Revolving Assignee, such Revolving Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance
and recording in the Revolving Register; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, no such assignment to a Revolving Assignee (other than any Revolving Lender or any Affiliate of any Revolving Lender
or any Approved Fund) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000, except in the case of an assignment of all of a Revolving Lender’s interests under this Agreement. For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding
sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Revolving Lender and its related Approved Funds, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to
such Revolving Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Revolving Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Revolving Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Lender hereunder
with a Revolving Commitment and/or Revolving Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Revolving Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Revolving Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of a Revolving Assignment and Acceptance covering all of a Revolving Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Revolving Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto) except with respect to its obligations
under Section 12.15. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 12.6(c)(i), the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment by a Revolving Lender that occurs when a Revolving Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Revolving Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any or all of the Revolving Loans it may have
funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 12.6(c)(i). In addition, a Revolving Lender shall permitted to transfer internally any of its
Revolving Loans or any portion of its Revolving Commitments to an Approved Fund of such Revolving Lender without delivering a Revolving Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent, provided that (a) the transferring Revolving Lender
shall maintain a register with respect to any such transfer and (b) notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such transfer, the transferring Revolving Lender shall continue to be the Revolving Lender of record, and be obligated, hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents until such Approved Fund that is a transferee of such Revolving Lender delivers a Revolving Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent for recording in accordance with this
Section 12.6(c)(i). 
  

 107 

 (ii) Any Term Loan B Lender other than any Conduit Lender (a “Term Loan B
Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Term Loan B Lender, any Affiliate of any Term Loan B Lender or any Approved Fund or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (which, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (a “Term Loan B Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents pursuant to a Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Term Loan B Assignee, such Term Loan B Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the
Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Term Loan B Register; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, no such assignment to a Term Loan B Assignee (other than any Term Loan B
Lender or any Affiliate of any Term Loan B Lender or any Approved Fund) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000, except in the case of an assignment of all of a Term Loan B Lender’s interests under this Agreement. For
purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Term Loan B Lender and its related Approved Funds, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from
and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Term Loan B Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Term Loan B Lender hereunder with a Term Loan B Commitment and/or Term Loan B Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Term Loan B Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Term Loan B Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance covering all of a Term Loan B Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Term Loan B Assignor shall
cease to be a party hereto) except with respect to its obligations under Section 12.15. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 12.6(c)(ii), the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment by a Term Loan B Lender
that occurs when a Term Loan B Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Term Loan B Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent any or all of the Term Loan B Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 12.6(c)(ii). In addition,
a Term Loan B Lender shall permitted to transfer internally any of its Term Loan B Loans or any portion of its Term Loan B Commitments to an Approved Fund of such Term Loan B Lender without delivering a Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance to the
Administrative Agent, provided that (a) the transferring Term Loan B Lender shall maintain a register with respect to any such transfer and (b) notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such transfer, the transferring Term Loan B Lender
shall continue to be the Term Loan B Lender of record, and be obligated, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents until such Approved Fund that is a transferee of such Term Loan B Lender delivers a Term Loan B
Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent for recording in accordance with this Section 12.6(c)(ii). 
  
 (d) (i) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.2 a copy of
each Revolving Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Revolving Register”) for the recordation of 

  

 108 

 
the names and addresses of the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Revolving
Lender from time to time. The Revolving Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Revolving Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Revolving Register shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Revolving Register as the owner of
the Revolving Loans and any Notes evidencing the Revolving Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Revolving Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Revolving Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate
entries with respect thereto being made in the Revolving Register. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Revolving Loan evidenced by a Revolving Note shall be registered on the Revolving Register only upon surrender for registration of
assignment or transfer of the Revolving Note evidencing such Revolving Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Revolving Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Revolving Notes shall be issued to the designated Revolving Assignee.

  
 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall, on
behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.2 a copy of each Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Term Loan B Register”) for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Term Loan B Lenders and the Term Loan B Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Term Loan B Loans owing to, each Term Loan B Lender from time to time. The Term Loan B Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
or any Term Loan B Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Term Loan B Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Term Loan B Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Term Loan B Register as the owner of the Term Loan B Loans and any Term Loan B Notes evidencing the Term Loan B Loans
recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Term Loan B Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Term Loan B Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Term Loan B
Register. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Term Loan B Loan evidenced by a Term Loan B Note shall be registered on the Term Loan B Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Term Loan B Note
evidencing such Term Loan B Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Term Loan B Notes shall be issued to the designated Term Loan B Assignee. 
  
 (e) (i) Upon its receipt of a Revolving Assignment and
Acceptance executed by a Revolving Assignor, a Revolving Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 12.6(c)(i), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the
Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Revolving Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Revolving Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto. 
  
 (ii) Upon its receipt of a Term Loan B Assignment and
Acceptance executed by a Term Loan B Assignor, a Term Loan B Assignee and any other Person whose consent

Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Term Loan B Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Term Loan B Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto. 
  
 (f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 12.6 concerning assignments of Revolving Loans and Revolving Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests,
including any pledge or assignment by a Revolving Lender of any Revolving Loan or Revolving Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of
this Section 12.6 concerning assignments of Term Loan B Loans and Term Loan B Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a
Term Loan B Lender of any Term Loan B Loan or Term Loan B Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (g) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Revolving Lender, agrees to issue a Revolving Note to any
Revolving Lender requiring a Revolving Note to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above. The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Term Loan B Lender, agrees to issue a Term Loan B Note to any
Term Loan B Lender requiring a Term Loan B Note to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above. 
  
 (h) Each of TWTC, the Borrower, each Lender and each Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or
join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the
latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or
expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 
  
 12.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) (i) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular
Revolving Lender, if any Revolving Lender (a “Benefitted Revolving Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Revolving Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations
owing to such other Revolving Lender, such Benefitted Revolving Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Revolving Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Revolving Lender, or shall provide
such other Revolving Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Revolving Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Revolving Lenders;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Revolving Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  

 110 

 (ii) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be
allocated to a particular Term Loan B Lender, if any Term Loan B Lender (a “Benefitted Term Loan B Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof
(whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10(f) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Term Loan B
Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Term Loan B Lender, such Benefitted Term Loan B Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Term Loan B Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to
each such other Term Loan B Lender, or shall provide such other Term Loan B Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Term Loan B Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral ratably with each of the Term Loan B Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Term Loan B Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  
 (b) (i) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Revolving Lenders provided by law, each Revolving Lender shall have the right,
at any time that a Revolving Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without prior notice to TWTC or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by TWTC and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any
amount becoming due and payable by TWTC or the Borrower hereunder, subject to applicable grace periods (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by such Revolving Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of TWTC or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Revolving Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such
setoff and application made by such Revolving Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
  
 (ii) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Term Loan B Lenders provided by law, each Term Loan
B Lender shall have the right, at any time that a Term Loan B Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without prior notice to TWTC or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by TWTC and the Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by TWTC or the Borrower hereunder, subject to applicable grace periods (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against
such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Term Loan B Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of TWTC or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Term Loan B Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the

 12.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
  
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; 
  
 (b) neither any
Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to TWTC or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and TWTC

 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated

designated as “confidential” by the Borrower, TWTC or one of their respective authorized representatives (including oral information for which such designation has been specifically made) provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this
Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to an Agent, a Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund (provided that

further, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clauses (d), (e) and (f) of this Section, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall attempt to notify TWTC of any request by any
