ARTICLE II 

CREDIT FACILITY 
 2.1 The Facility. 
 2.1.1 Availability of Facility. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the facility is available from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date, and the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire on the Facility Termination Date. 
 2.1.2 Repayment of
Facility. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, any outstanding Loans and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date; provided that if any authorization of any state official or
state regulatory authority required under any Applicable Law, for any borrowing of Loans by the Borrower, expires without being extended at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date (and such authorization is required to be in effect at such
time in order for the Borrower to continue to have such Loans and other unpaid Obligations outstanding under Applicable Law), then upon the expiration of such authorization, all outstanding Loans and all other unpaid Obligations shall be immediately
paid in full by the Borrower. 
 2.1.3 Revolving Facility. Each Lender severally agrees, subject to and on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to make loans (each, a “Revolving Loan,” and collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including the
Agreement Date to but not including the Facility Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding its Commitment; provided that no borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made if, immediately after giving
effect thereto (and to any concurrent repayment of Swingline Loans with proceeds of 

  
 19 

 
Revolving Loans made pursuant to such borrowing), (i) the amount of all outstanding Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Credit Exposure exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans. 

2.1.4 Swingline Facility. The Swingline Lender agrees, subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make loans
(each, a “Swingline Loan,” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Agreement Date to but not including the Swingline Termination
Date (or, if earlier, the Facility Termination Date), in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding the Swingline Commitment. Swingline Loans may be made even if the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding
at any time, when added to the aggregate Credit Exposure of the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Lender outstanding at such time, would exceed the Swingline Lender’s own Commitment at such time, but provided that no borrowing of Swingline
Loans shall be made if, immediately after giving effect thereto (i) the amount of all outstanding Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Credit Exposure
exceeds the Aggregate Commitments, and provided further that the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the
Swingline Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22.1(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender
arising from either the Swingline Loan then proposed to be made or that the Swingline Loan and all other Swingline Loans as to which the Swingline Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. Subject to
and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay (including by means of a borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.3) and reborrow Swingline Loans. All Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the
LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 2.2 Loans. 

2.2.1 Types of Loans. The Revolving Loans may be made as, and from time to time continued as or converted to, Base Rate Loans or
LIBOR Rate Loans (each a “Type” of Loan), or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2.2. The Swingline Loans shall be made and maintained as LIBOR Market Index Rate Loans at all
times and may not be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans under Section 2.2.7. 

2.2.2 Borrowing of Revolving Loans. In order to request Revolving Loans (other than (i) borrowings of Swingline Loans, which
shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2.3, (ii) borrowings for the purpose of repaying Refunded Swingline Loans, which shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2.4, (iii) borrowings for the purpose of paying unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations, which shall be made pursuant to Section 3.4, and (iv) borrowings involving continuations or conversions of outstanding Loans, which shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2.7), the Borrower shall
give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (a “Borrowing Notice”), not later than 11:00 a.m. on the requested Borrowing Date of each Base 

  
 20 

 
Rate Loan and at least three Business Days before the requested Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Rate Loan. A Borrowing Notice shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.2.2 hereto and shall specify:

 (i) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Loan, 

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Loan, 
 (iii) the Type of Loan selected, and 
 (iv) in the case of each LIBOR Rate
Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto (which may not end after the Facility Termination Date). 
 Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in the
minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), and each Base Rate Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided, however,
any Base Rate Loan may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitments. If the Borrower shall have failed to designate the Type of Loans selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower shall have failed
to select the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loans requested, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of one month. 

Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount and Type of each
Loan to be made by such Lender on the requested date specified therein. To the extent such Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate
of such amounts available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. 
 2.2.3 Borrowing of
Swingline Loans. In order to request Swingline Loans, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (and the Swingline Lender, if the Swingline Lender is not also the Administrative Agent) irrevocable written notice ( a “Swingline
Borrowing Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m., on the date of requested Borrowing Date. A Borrowing Notice shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.2.3 hereto and shall specify: 

(i) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Loan, and 

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Loan. 
 Each Swingline Loan (x) shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 (and a whole multiple of $100,000 if in excess thereof (or if less, in the amount of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment)) and
(y) shall be due and payable on the earlier of (A) the Swingline Termination Date and (B) within ten Business Days of such Loan being made. To the extent the Swingline Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent
as provided in Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent will make such amount available to the Borrower. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swingline Loan. 

  
 21 

 2.2.4 Refunded Swingline Loans. With respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender may at any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in its sole and absolute discretion, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Borrower to, cause a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to be made for
the purpose of repaying such Swingline Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent (if the Administrative Agent is not also the Swingline Lender) and each other Lender (on behalf of, and with a copy to, the Borrower), not later than 11:00 a.m.
on the proposed Borrowing Date therefor, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice given by the Borrower) requesting the Lenders to make Revolving Loans (which shall be made initially as Base Rate Loans) on such Borrowing Date in an
aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given that the Swingline Lender requests to be repaid. To the extent the Lenders have made such
amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent, which
shall apply such amounts in repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the relevant Borrowing Date, the Refunded Swingline Loans (including the Swingline Lender’s ratable share
thereof, in its capacity as a Lender) shall be deemed to be repaid with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made as provided above (including a Revolving Loan deemed to have been made by the Swingline Lender), and such Refunded Swingline Loans
deemed to be so repaid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall be outstanding as Revolving Loans. If any portion of any such amount repaid (or deemed to be repaid) to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the
Borrower from the Swingline Lender in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be shared ratably among all the Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.3. 

2.2.5 Lender Participation in Swingline Loans. If, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to
the Borrower, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.2.4 in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans, or if the Swingline Lender is otherwise
precluded for any reason from giving a notice on behalf of the Borrower as provided for hereinabove, each Lender, upon one Business Day’s prior notice from the Swingline Lender, shall fund its risk participation in such outstanding Swingline
Loans by making available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the unpaid amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon. To the extent the Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative
Agent as provided Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. In the event any such Lender fails to make available
to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this Section 2.2.5, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for
each day from the date such amount is required to be made available for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date such amount is made available to the Swingline Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three Business Days
and thereafter at the Alternative Base Rate. Promptly following its receipt of any payment 

  
 22 

 
by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such payment. 
 2.2.6 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of each Lender (other
than the Swingline Lender) to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.4 and each such Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans
pursuant to Section 2.2.5 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that
such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Unmatured Default or Event of Default, (iii) the failure of
the amount of such borrowing of Revolving Loans to meet the minimum borrowing amount specified in Section 2.2.2, or (iv) the failure of any conditions set forth in Section 4.2 or elsewhere herein to be satisfied.

 2.2.7 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Loans. 

(i) Each Base Rate Loan shall continue as a Base Rate Loan unless and until such Base Rate Loan is either converted into a LIBOR Rate
Loan in accordance with this Section 2.2.7 or repaid in accordance with Section 2.5. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such
LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice in the manner set forth below requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period,
such LIBOR Rate Loan continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan for the same or another Interest Period. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan. The Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit 2.2.7 (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan, or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. at
least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying: 
 (a) the requested date,
which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation, 
 (b) the aggregate amount and Type of the Loan which is to
be converted or continued, and 
 (c) the amount of such Loan(s) which is to be converted or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan and
the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Each conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall involve a minimum
amount of $3,000,000 (and a whole multiple of $1,000,000, if in excess thereof). Each conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan shall involve a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and a whole multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof). No
partial conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing Notice shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of 

  
 23 

 such LIBOR Rate Loans to less than $5,000,000 (or to any greater amount not a whole multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof). Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.18.6, LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the Interest Period Applicable thereto (and in any event, if a LIBOR Rate Loan is
converted into a Base Rate Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower will pay, upon such conversion, all amounts required under Section 2.18.1 to be paid as a consequence thereof).

 Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of (x) the contents thereof, (y) the
amount and Type and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the last day of the applicable Interest Period of each Loan to be converted or continued by such Lender and (z) the amount and Type or Types of Loans into which such Loans are to be
converted or as which such Loan are to be continued. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 2.2.7, during an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower that Loans may only be converted into or continued as Loans of certain specified Types. 

2.3 Funding by Lenders; Disbursement to the Borrower. 
 2.3.1 Funding by Lenders. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on each requested Borrowing Date, each Lender shall, if it has received the notice contemplated by Sections 2.2.2, 2.2.3,
2.2.4 or 2.2.5 on or prior to 12:00 noon on such date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, or on or prior to its close of business on the third Business Day before such date, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, make available to the
Administrative Agent, in Dollars in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII, the amount of Loans to be made by such Lender on such date. 

2.3.2 Disbursement to the Borrower. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (and, if
such Borrowing is on the Agreement Date, Section 4.1), Loans shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent not later than 3:30 p.m. on the date specified therefor by credit to an account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent at
its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or in such other manner as may have been specified to and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in each case in Dollars in funds immediately available to the Borrower, as
the case may be.

2.4.1 Arranger Fees. (i) To Wells Fargo Securities and BTMU, for their own respective accounts, on the Agreement Date, the
fees required under the Active Arrangers Fee Letter and (ii) BCM and TD, for their respective accounts, on the Agreement Date, the fees required under the Passive Arrangers Fee Letter; 

2.4.2 Facility Fee. To the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee at a per annum rate equal to the

hereafter and on the Repayment Date. 

  
 24 

 2.4.3 Letter of Credit Fees. To the Administrative Agent, for the account of each
Lender, a letter of credit fee for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect during such quarter for LIBOR Rate
Loans on such Lender’s pro rata share of the daily average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears on (i) the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the
Agreement Date, and (ii) on the later of the Facility Termination Date and the date of termination of the last outstanding Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any letter of credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a
Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.1.1 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by
Applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective pro rata shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.22.1(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the
Issuing Bank for its own account; 
 2.4.4 Letter of Credit Facing Fee. To each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a
facing fee for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) on the daily average aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate separately agreed to between each
Issuing Bank and the Borrower (each an “LC Fee”), payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Agreement Date, and (ii) on the later of the
Facility Termination Date and the date of termination of the last outstanding Letter of Credit; 
 2.4.5 Letter of Credit

from time to time by such Issuing Bank for the performance of such services in connection with similar letters of credit, or as may be otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Bank, but without duplication of amounts payable under
Section 2.4.2; and 
 2.4.6 Administrative Fee. To the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual
administrative fee described in the Administrative Fee Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set forth therein. 
 None of the
fees payable under this Section 2.4 shall be refundable in whole or in part. 
 2.5 Reductions in Aggregate
Commitments; Increases in Aggregate Commitments. 
 2.5.1 Reductions. The Borrower may permanently reduce the
Aggregate Commitments, in whole or in part, ratably among the Lenders in an amount equal to $5,000,000 ($500,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or $100,000 in the case of the
Unutilized Swingline Commitment) upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (and in the case of a termination or reduction of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment, the Swingline Lender), which notice shall
specify the amount of any such reduction; provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitments may not be reduced below the aggregate outstanding Credit Exposure. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent (or
Swingline Lender) shall 

  
 25 

 
promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and the amount to which such Lender’s Commitment is to be reduced. All accrued Facility Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any
termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder. The amount of any termination or reduction made under this Section 2.5.1 may not thereafter be reinstated. 

2.5.2 Increases. At any time following the Agreement Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Aggregate Commitments
may, at the option of the Borrower, be increased by a total amount not in excess of $100,000,000, either by one or more then-existing Lenders increasing their Commitments or by new Lenders establishing such additional Commitments (each such increase
by either means, a “Commitment Increase”, and each such Lender increasing its Commitment or new Lender, an “Additional Commitment Lender”); provided that (i) each new Lender shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) no Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after the effective date of such Commitment Increase, (iii) all representations and warranties made by the Borrower
in this Agreement as of the date of such Commitment Increase are true and correct in all material respects, (iv) each such Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess
thereof, or, if less, the maximum remaining amount that the Aggregate Commitments may be increased pursuant to this Section 2.5.2, (v) no such Commitment Increase shall be permitted without all required Governmental Approvals and
(vi) no such Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Commitment Lenders shall have executed and delivered an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit
2.5.2 (a “Commitment Increase Supplement”). On the effective date of such Commitment Increase, each Additional Commitment Lender shall purchase, by assignment, from each other existing Lender the portion of such other
Lender’s Credit Exposure outstanding at such time such that, after giving effect to such assignments, the respective aggregate amount of Credit Exposure of each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (as adjusted
pursuant hereto) of the aggregate Credit Exposure outstanding. The purchase price for the Loans so assigned shall be the principal amount of the Loans so assigned plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the date of assignment. Upon
payment of such purchase price, each Lender shall be automatically deemed to have sold and made such an assignment to such Additional Commitment Lender and shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement, and such Additional Commitment Lender shall be automatically deemed to have purchased and assumed such an assignment from each other Lender and, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement. 
 2.6 Extension Option. After the first
anniversary of the Agreement, and then no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the Agreement Date, but on no more than two occasions, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request
that the Lenders extend the Facility Termination Date for an additional year. Any election by a Lender to extend the term of its Commitment pursuant to such a request shall be at such Lender’s sole discretion and subject to such credit
evaluation as such Lender may determine. 

  
 26 

 2.6.1 No extension pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall become effective unless
agreed to in writing not later than 15 days prior to the relevant anniversary of the Agreement Date by Lenders then holding more than 50% of the Commitments. 
 2.6.2 In the event that Lenders then holding more than 50% of the Commitments but less than 100% of the Commitments shall agree to an extension requested pursuant to this Section 2.6, the
Borrower shall be entitled to propose a new Lender or Lenders (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks), or an increase in the Commitment or Commitments of a then existing Lender
or Lenders, whose new or increased Commitments (in an aggregate amount not in excess of the Commitments of the Lenders who did not agree to extend) shall be in effect during the extension period so agreed. 

2.6.3 Unless a Lender which does not agree to extend its Commitment shall be replaced pursuant to Section 2.6.4, the
Commitment of such Lender shall continue in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date to which it has agreed (each a “Prior Termination Date”). 

2.6.4 In the event that an existing Lender shall not agree to extend its Commitment pursuant to a request by the Borrower, the Borrower
shall be entitled to replace such Lender with another Lender or and/or an Eligible Assignee that shall assume the then Commitment of such existing Lender and shall agree to the extension requested. Any Eligible Assignee (if not already a Lender
hereunder) shall become a party to this agreement as a Lender pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. In the event of such a replacement, such existing Lender shall
assign to such replacement Lender the outstanding Loans of such existing Lender for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the Loans so assigned, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such assignment, and
such replacement Lender shall acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

2.6.5 An extension of the Facility Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall only become effective upon the receipt
by the Administrative Agent of a certificate (the statements contained in which shall be true) of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that both before and after giving effect to such extension of the Facility Termination Date
(i) no Unmatured Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) all representations and warranties made by the Borrower under this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date such
extension is made. 
 2.6.6 Effective on and after the Prior Termination Date, (i) each of the Lenders who does not agree
to extend its Commitment shall be automatically released from their respective participations and Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.4 with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) the participations and
Reimbursement Obligations of each Lender (other than the Lenders who do not agree to extend their Commitments) shall be automatically adjusted to equal such Lender’s revised Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Letters of Credit.

 2.7 Repayments; Optional Principal Prepayments. 

(a) Each Loan shall mature and become due and payable, and shall be repaid by the Borrower, in full on the day one year
after the date such Loan was made, unless the Borrower’s Board of Directors, by a written resolution, has authorized such Loan to be outstanding for a term in excess of one year, in which case such Loan shall mature and become due and payable,
and shall be repaid by the Borrower, in full on the date fixed by such written resolution, but in no event later than on the Facility Termination Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Loans, or any portion of the outstanding Loans, on any Business Day upon notice to the Administrative Agent one
Business Day prior to each intended prepayment of Alternative Base Rate Loans and three Business Days prior to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans; provided that (i) each partial payment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in the
minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and a whole multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each partial payment of Base Rate Loans shall be in the minimum amount of $3,000,000 (and a whole multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof) ($100,000 and
$100,000, respectively, in the case of Swingline Loans), (ii) no partial payment of LIBOR Rate Loans made pursuant to a single borrowing shall reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR Rate Loans under such
borrowing to less than $5,000,000 (and a whole multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and (iii) unless made together with all amounts required under Section 2.18.1 to be paid as a consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment
of a LIBOR Rate Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice of prepayment shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.7 and shall specify (i) the date such prepayment is to be made and
(ii) the amount and Type of the Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the last day of the applicable Interest Period of the LIBOR Rate Loans to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and the amount and Type of the Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the last day of the applicable Interest Period of each LIBOR Rate Loan of such Lender to be prepaid. Amounts
to be prepaid shall irrevocably be due and payable on the date specified in the applicable notice of prepayment, together with interest thereon as provided in Section 2.13. 

2.8 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each
day from and including the date such Loan is made or is converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.7 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.2.7 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date. 

2.9 Rates Applicable After Default. During the continuance of an Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by
notice to the Borrower (which notice may be

revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no
Loan may be made as, converted into, or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan. During the continuance of an Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required
Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that each Loan and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the
Overdue Rate; provided that, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 7.1, 7.7 or 7.8, any amount payable under the Loan Documents not paid when due (whether at maturity, by reason of notice of
prepayment or otherwise) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. 

2.10 Method of Payment. 
 2.10.1 Payments by Borrower. All payments of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made, observed or performed, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim (whether
sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) or Tax. All amounts payable for the account of the Administrative Agent shall be paid in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant
to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among
the Lenders. All amounts payable for the account of any Lender under the Loan Documents shall, in the case of payments on account of principal of or interest on the Loans or fees, be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII and, in the case of all other payments, be made directly to such Lender at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at such other address as such Lender may designate by
notice to the Borrower. 
 2.10.2 Payments to Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account
of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified
in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision hereof, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the
Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. If the Administrative Agent shall not have made a required distribution to the appropriate Lenders as
required hereinabove after receiving a payment for the account of such Lenders, the Administrative Agent will pay to each such Lender, on demand, its ratable share of such payment with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each
day from the date such amount was required to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent until the date repaid to such Lender. The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Issuing Bank like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as set forth hereinabove with respect to distributions of amounts to the Lenders. 

  
 29 

 2.10.3 Authorization to Charge the Borrower’s Accounts. The Borrower hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender, if and to the extent any amount payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents (whether payable to such Person or to any other Person that is the Administrative Agent or a Lender) is not
otherwise paid when due, to charge such amount against any or all of the accounts of the Borrower with such Person or any of its Affiliates (whether maintained at a branch or office located within or without the United States), with the Borrower
remaining liable for any deficiency. Any Lender charging an amount against an account of the Borrower shall comply with Section 11.2 and provide notice thereof to the Borrower, within a reasonable time thereafter, which notice shall
include a description in reasonable detail of such action. 
 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

2.11.1 Lenders’ Evidence of Indebtedness. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

 2.11.2 Administrative Agent’s Evidence of Indebtedness. The Administrative Agent shall also maintain the Register
of accounts pursuant to Section 12.3.4 in which it will record (a) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (c) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

2.11.3 Effect of Entries. The entries maintained in the accounts and records maintained pursuant to Sections 2.11.1 and
2.11.2 above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts and records or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. 
 2.11.4 Notes Upon Request. Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by Notes. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender (a) in the case of
Revolving Loans, a Revolving Note in the form of Exhibit 2.11.4-A, payable to the order of such Lender and (b) in the case of Swingline Loans, a Swingline Note in the form of Exhibit 2.11.4-B. Thereafter, the Loans
represented by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be evidenced by a Note payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to
Section 12.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs 2.11.1 and 2.11.1
above. 

  
 30 

 2.12 Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent to extend, convert, or continue Loans; to effect selections of Types of Loans; and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be
acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices, Swingline Borrowing Notices, and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower
agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation
differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. 

2.13 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan and each LIBOR Market Index Rate Loan
shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Agreement Date, on any date on which the Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Market Index Rate Loan is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at
maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each LIBOR Rate
Loan shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each LIBOR Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than
three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three month interval during such Interest Period. Interest, Facility Fees and LC Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360 day year, except that interest
calculated based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365, or when appropriate 366, day year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if
payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. Whenever any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be
due on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if such next succeeding Business Day falls in a new calendar month, such payment shall instead be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. If the date any payment
under the Loan Documents is due is extended (whether by operation of any Loan Document, Applicable Law or otherwise), such payment shall bear interest for such extended time at the rate of interest applicable hereunder. Interest at the Overdue Rate
shall be payable on demand. 
 2.14 Notification of Loans, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.
Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitments reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swingline Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, Letter of Credit Notice, Commitment
Increase Supplement and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the LIBOR Rate or Alternate Base Rate applicable to each Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each
Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of any request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6 to extend the Facility Termination Date. 

  
 31 

 2.15 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending
Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the
benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be
made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. A Lender may designate a separate Lending Installation for the purpose of making or maintaining different Types of Loans, and with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans such office may be a
domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender. 
 2.16 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless
the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the
case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended Recipient or Recipients in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made
such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the
period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three
days and, thereafter, at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%. 
 2.17 Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in the Loan
Documents shall require the Borrower at any time to pay interest at a rate exceeding the Maximum Permissible Rate. If interest payable by the Borrower on any date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Maximum Permissible Rate, such
interest payment shall automatically be reduced to such maximum permitted amount, and interest for any subsequent period, to the extent less than the maximum amount permitted for such period by the Maximum Permissible Rate, shall be increased by the
unpaid amount of such reduction. Any interest actually received for any period in excess of such maximum amount permitted for such period shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans. 

2.18 Increased Costs; Change in Circumstances; Illegality. 

2.18.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except the Reserve Requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Bank; 

  
 32 

 (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank
market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Market Index Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of making, converting to,
continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
(or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender,
such Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 2.18.2
Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Lending Installation of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company,
if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 2.18.3 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.18.1 or 2.18.2 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. 
 2.18.4 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay
on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall 

  
 33 

 
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an
Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 2.18.5 LIBOR Unavailable. If, (i) on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, (ii) at any time, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Market Index Rate,
(iii) on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders of their determination that the rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR
Rate” upon the basis of which the LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined or will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans during such Interest
Period, or (iv) at any time, the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders of their determination that the rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Market Index Rate” will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost of such Lenders of making LIBOR Market Index Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders. Upon such notice, (a) all then outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall
automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (unless then repaid in full), be converted into Base Rate Loans, (b) all then outstanding LIBOR Market Index Rate Loans, shall automatically, on the day
of such notice, be converted into Base Rate Loans, (c) the obligation of the Lenders to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended (including pursuant to the borrowing to which such Interest
Period applies), and (d) any Borrowing Notice, Swingline Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans, in each case until
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (and the Required Lenders, if making such determination, shall have so notified the
Administrative Agent), and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrower and the Lenders. 
 2.18.6
Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if, at any time after the date hereof and from time to time, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law, rule
or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or
not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of making it unlawful for such Lender to make or to continue to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Market Index Rate Loans, such Lender will forthwith so notify the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower. Upon such notice, (i) each of such Lender’s then 

  
 34 

 
outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans and LIBOR Market Index Rate Loans shall automatically, immediately in the case of LIBOR Market Index Rate Loans and on the expiration date of the applicable Interest
Period in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan (or, to the extent any such LIBOR Rate Loan may not lawfully be maintained as a LIBOR Rate Loan until such expiration date, upon such notice) and to the extent not sooner prepaid, be converted into a Base
Rate Loan, (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended (including pursuant to any borrowing for which the Administrative Agent has received a Borrowing Notice
but for which the Borrowing Date has not arrived), and (iii) any Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans (or Swingline Borrowing Notice given with respect to any Swingline
Loans) shall, as to such Lender, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, in each case until such Lender shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist and shall have so notified the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrower. 
 2.19 Taxes. 

2.19.1 Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

 2.19.2 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding
of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

2.19.3 Payments of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

2.19.4 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment
to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 35 

 2.19.5 Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and
(iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.19.5. 
 2.19.6 Evidence of Payments.
As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

2.19.7 Status of Lenders. 
 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at
the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment
such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, 

(a) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date
on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax; 

  
 36 

 (b) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax
treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.19-A to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign
Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.19-B or Exhibit 2.19-C, IRS Form W-9,
and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.19-D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(c) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a 

  
 37 

 
reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (d) if a payment made to a Lender under
any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code,
as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by
Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause
(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that
if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability
to do so. 
 2.19.8 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.19 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
over pursuant to this Section 2.19.8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19.8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.19.8 the payment of which would place
the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be
construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

2.19.9 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

  
 38 

 2.20 Compensation. The Borrower will compensate each Lender upon demand for all
losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans) that such
Lender may incur or sustain (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, a LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice, (ii) if any repayment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a consequence of any assignment made pursuant
to Section 2.21.1 or any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to ARTICLE VIII), (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower or
(iv) as a consequence of any other failure by the Borrower to make any payments with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan when due hereunder. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.20 shall be made as though
such Lender had actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant
Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this
Section 2.20. A certificate (which shall be in reasonable detail) showing the bases for the determinations set forth in this Section 2.20 by any Lender as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.20 shall be submitted by such Lender to the Borrower either directly or through the Administrative Agent. Determinations set forth in any such certificate made in good faith for purposes of this Section 2.20 of any
such losses, expenses or liabilities shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 2.21 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement
of Lenders. 
 2.21.1 If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or requires the Borrower to pay
any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a
different Lending Installation for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.19, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

2.21.2 If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or
additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant Section 2.19 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Installation in accordance with
Section 2.21.1, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then 

  
 39 

 
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.3), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19) and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.3.2;

 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and any funded
participations in Letters of Credit not refinanced through the Borrowing of Revolving Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 2.20) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a request for compensation under Section 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.19, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 
 (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable
Law; and 
 (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non- Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee
shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

2.22 Defaulting Lenders. 
 2.22.1 Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: 
 (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting
Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and in Section 8.2. 

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to or ARTICLE VII otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to ARTICLE XI shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: 

  
 40 

 (a) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; 
 (b) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; 
 (c)
third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter
of Credit or Swingline Loan; 
 (d) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Unmatured Default
or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; 

(e) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing
deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; 
 (f) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; 

(g) seventh, so long as no Unmatured Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to
the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and 

(h) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; 

provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any Letter of Credit Exposure in
respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant
to this Section 2.22.1(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) Any Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Facility Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1)

  
 41 

 
the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it and (2) its Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to
Section 2.22.3 (and the Borrower shall (A) be required to pay the applicable Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from such Defaulting Lender and (B) not be
required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender). 
 (iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure shall automatically (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) be reallocated
among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) no Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such condition is satisfied at such time) and
(y) such reallocation does not cause the Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. 
 (v) If the reallocation described in Section 2.22.1(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or
under law, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each Issuing
Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22.3. 
 2.22.2 If the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the
parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase
that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans
to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22.1(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change
hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

2.22.3 At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22.1(iv) and any Cash Collateral
provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

  
 42 

 (i) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to
deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all
other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.22.3(ii). If at any time the
Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting
Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such deficiency. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral
provided under this Section 2.22 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Exposure, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such Cash Collateral as may be provided for herein. 

(iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer
be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section following (A) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (B) the
determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.22 the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash
Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the
security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 2.22.4 So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the
Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or
increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 

ARTICLE III 
 LETTERS OF CREDIT 
 3.1 Issuance. Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, so long as no Unmatured Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Issuing Bank will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Agreement Date and prior to the earlier

  
 43 

 
of (i) the Letter of Credit Maturity Date and (ii) the Repayment Date, and upon request by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, issue for the
account of the Borrower one or more irrevocable standby letters of credit denominated in Dollars and in a form customarily used or otherwise approved by such Issuing Bank (together with all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto,
substitutions therefor and renewals and restatements thereof, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than such amount as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing
Bank.Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
 3.1.1 No Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance,
(i) the Stated Amount when added to the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Subcommitment, (ii) the Stated Amount when added to the aggregate outstanding Credit Exposure, would
exceed the Aggregate Commitments at such time, and (iii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable Issuing Bank has entered into an arrangement, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing
Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22.1(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from
either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; 

3.1.2 No Letter of Credit shall be issued that by its terms expires later than the Letter of Credit Maturity Date or, in any event, more
than one year after its date of issuance; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, if requested by the Borrower, provide by its terms, and on terms acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, for renewal for successive periods of
one year or less (but not beyond the Letter of Credit Maturity Date), unless and until the applicable Issuing Bank shall have delivered a notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; 

3.1.3 No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, at the time of such proposed issuance, (i) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law or any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose
upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Agreement Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense
that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Bank as of the Agreement Date and that the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (ii) such Issuing Bank shall have actual knowledge, or shall have received notice from any
Lender, prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 4.1 (if applicable) or Section 4.2 are not then satisfied (or have not been waived in writing as required herein)
or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate the provisions of Section 3.1.1, or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more written policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of
credit generally; and 

  
 44 

 3.1.4 Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower when
a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, performance under Letters of Credit by the applicable Issuing Bank, its correspondents, and the beneficiaries thereof will be governed by the rules of the “International Standby
Practices 1998” (or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued) and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law of
this Agreement. 
 3.2 Notices. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower will give
the applicable Issuing Bank written notice with a copy to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in any given case) prior to the requested date of issuance
thereof. Each such notice (each, a “Letter of Credit Notice”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit 3.2 and shall specify (i) the requested date of issuance, which shall be a Business Day,
(ii) the requested Stated Amount and expiry date of the Letter of Credit, and (iii) the name and address of the requested beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Letter of Credit. The Borrower will also complete any application procedures and
documents reasonably required by the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Upon its issuance of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such
issuance, and the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice thereof to each Lender. The renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall, for purposes of this Article III, be treated in all respects as the issuance of a new Letter
of Credit. 
 3.3 Participations. Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed
to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, of its
Applicable Percentage of such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto and any Collateral or other security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided,
however, that the LC Fee shall be payable directly to the Issuing Bank as provided therein, and the other Lenders shall have no right to receive any portion thereof. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each Reimbursement Obligation not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in
Section 3.4 or through the Borrowing of Revolving Loans as provided in Section 3.5 (because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied, or for any other reason), or of any reimbursement payment
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Upon any change in the Commitments of any of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5.2 or Section 12.3, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Reimbursement
Obligations there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.3 to reflect the new Applicable Percentages of the assigning Lender and the assignee. Each Lender’s obligation to make payment to
the Issuing Banks pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the termination of the Commitments or the existence of any Unmatured Default or Event
of Default, and each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, reduction or withholding whatsoever. 

  
 45 

 3.4 Reimbursement. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the applicable Issuing
Bank by making payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, for any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed,
together with interest thereon payable as provided hereinbelow, a “Reimbursement Obligation”) immediately upon, and in any event on the same Business Day as, the making of such payment by such Issuing Bank (the “Honor
Date”), provided that any such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed timely satisfied (but nevertheless subject to the payment of interest thereon as provided herein below) if satisfied pursuant to a borrowing of Revolving Loans
made on the date of such payment by the Issuing Bank, as set forth more completely in Section 3.5), together with interest on the amount so paid by such Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 p.m. on the Honor Date, for
the period from the Honor Date to the date the Reimbursement Obligation created thereby is satisfied, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum as in effect from time to time during such period, such
interest also to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made or to be made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, although the failure to
give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall not release, diminish or otherwise affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.4 or any other provision of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to
the applicable Issuing Bank any such amounts received by it under this Section 3.4. 
 3.5 Payment by Revolving
Loans. 
 3.5.1 In the event that any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not
have timely satisfied in full its Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.4, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal
to the Reimbursement Obligation (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), without regard to the minimum and multiples for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.5.1 may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

3.5.2 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 3.5.1 make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may
apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5.3, each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank. 
 3.5.3 With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced
by a borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, each Lender shall fund its risk participation in such Letter of

  
 46 

 
Credit in the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which funded risk participation shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest)
and shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate. 
 3.5.4 Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant
to this Section 3.5 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank. 
 3.5.5 Each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans or to fund its risk participation to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 3.5, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Unmatured Default or Event of Default, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5 is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of a Base Rate Loan or funding of risk participation shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 3.5.6 If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.5 by the time specified in Section 3.5.2, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the
foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Base Rate Loan included in the relevant borrowing or funded risk participation, as the case may be. A
certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.5.6 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

3.6 Payment to Lenders. Whenever any Issuing Bank receives a payment in respect of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the
Administrative Agent has received, for the account of such Issuing Bank, any payments from the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.5, such Issuing Bank will promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to
each Lender that has paid its ratable share thereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based on the proportionate amount funded by such Lender to the aggregate amount funded by all Lenders) of such
Reimbursement Obligation. 

  
 47 

 3.7 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower shall be
irrevocable, shall remain in effect until the Issuing Banks shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit, and shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be
subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the
following circumstances: 
 3.7.1 Any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or
any documents or instruments relating to any Letter of Credit; 
 3.7.2 Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of,
or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit or any documents or instruments relating thereto, in
each case whether or not the Borrower has notice or knowledge thereof; 
 3.7.3 The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or
other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any
Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any
such Letter of Credit); 
 3.7.4 Any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect (provided that such draft, certificate or other document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit), any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, facsimile or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in interpretation of technical terms; 

3.7.5 Any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit
(provided that any draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof), any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of
such drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in connection with such Letter of Credit; 
 3.7.6
The exchange, release, surrender or impairment of any collateral or other security for the Obligations; 
 3.7.7 The occurrence
of any Unmatured Default or Event of Default; or 
 3.7.8 Any other circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without
limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor. 

  
 48 

 
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall
be binding upon the Borrower and each Lender and shall not create or result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to the Borrower or any Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that, for purposes of determining whether a wrongful payment under
a Letter of Credit resulted from any Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (i) such Issuing Bank’s acceptance of documents that appear on their face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, (ii) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth
therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit
proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit
proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (iii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms
thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank. 
 3.8
Cash Collateral Account. At any time and from time to time (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders shall,
require the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional amount of cash as is equal to 102% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit at any time outstanding (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit
shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) and (ii) in the event of a prepayment under Section 2.5.1, the Administrative Agent will retain such amount as may then be required to be retained, such amounts in
each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above to be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in the Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for Letter of Credit Exposure, and for application to the Borrower’s Reimbursement
Obligations as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash
Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Borrower (unless an Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and
in the discretion of the Administrative Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by
any Issuing Bank, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Issuing Bank an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result
of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor. Any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account (including interest) after the expiration of
all Letters of Credit and reimbursement in full of the Issuing Banks for all of its 

  
 49 

 
obligations thereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Borrower, to be applied against the Obligations in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may
direct. 
 3.9 The Issuing Bank. The Issuing Banks shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of
Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Banks shall have all of the rights, benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Administrative Agent in ARTICLE X with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by it in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and any documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in ARTICLE X included the
Issuing Banks with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Banks. 
 3.10 Effectiveness. Notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments or repayment of the Loans, or both, the obligations of the Borrower under this ARTICLE III shall remain in full force
and effect until the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said balance sheets as at said dates. 
 (b) Since September 30, 2011, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition or operations, or the prospects or business taken as a whole, of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, from that set forth in said financial statements as at said date. 
 5.3 Litigation.
Other than as set out in Schedule 5.3 hereto, there are no legal or arbitral proceedings or any proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority, now pending or (to the knowledge of the Borrower) threatened against the Borrower or any of
its Material Subsidiaries as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and which, if adversely determined, could have a Material Adverse Effect during the term of this Agreement. 

5.4 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the consummation of the transactions herein
contemplated and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the charter or by-laws of the Borrower, or any Applicable Law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction
or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or its Material Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject or which is applicable to it, or constitute a
default under any such agreement or instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the revenues or assets of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

 5.5 Corporate Action. The Borrower has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and the Notes and to consummate the transactions herein contemplated, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Notes, and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, by the

constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 5.6 Regulatory
Approval. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, notice to, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is or will be required as a condition to or otherwise in connection with the due execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it 

  
 53 

 
is or will be a party or the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, other than consents, authorizations and filings that have 

been (or on or prior to the Agreement Date will have been) made or obtained and that are (or on the Agreement Date will be) in full force and effect,
which consents, authorizations and filings are listed on Schedule 5.6. 
 5.7 Regulations U and X. The Borrower is
not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and no proceeds of any Loans will be used for a purpose which violates, or would be inconsistent with, F.R.S. Board Regulation U or X, or any
official rulings on or interpretations of such regulations. Terms for which meanings are provided in Regulation U or Regulation X or any regulations substituted therefor, as from time to time in effect, are used in this Section 5.7 with
such meanings. 
 5.8 Pension and Welfare Plans. The Borrower is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA.
During the twelve consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the date of any borrowing hereunder, no steps have been taken to terminate or completely or partially withdraw from any Pension
Plan, and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under section 302 (f) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which
might result in the incurrence by the Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group of any material liability, fine or penalty or which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.8

their returns on a consolidated basis with the Borrower have been examined and/or closed through the fiscal year of the Borrower ended September 30, 2011. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns
and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The charges, accruals and reserves on
the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

 54

knowledge, there are no underground storage tanks, active or abandoned, including petroleum storage tanks, on or under any property now or previously owned, operated or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, singly or in aggregate,
could have a Material Adverse Effect during the term of this Agreement;

Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has directly transported or directly arranged for the transportation of any Hazardous Material to any location which is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List pursuant to CERCLA, on the

Agreement.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 REMEDIES, WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS 
 8.1 Remedies Upon Event of
Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions: 

8.1.1 declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be
terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
 8.1.2 declare the unpaid principal amount of all
outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; 
 8.1.3 require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the aggregate Stated
Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to 102% of the aggregate Stated Amount thereof); and 
 8.1.4
exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks all rights and remedies available to it, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under the Loan Documents; 
 provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.6, 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligation of each
Lender to make Loans and any obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due
and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the aggregate Stated Amount of Letters of Credit as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to
make Loans hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.6, 7.7 or 7.8) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been
obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination. 

8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the
consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the
Borrower hereunder or waiving any Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby: 

  
 62 

 (i) Extend the final maturity of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal
amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon; 
 (ii) Increase any Commitment of
any such Lender over the amount thereof in effect or extend the maturity thereof (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or of any Unmatured Default or Event of Default or mandatory
reduction in the Commitments, if agreed to by the Required Lenders or all Lenders (as may be required hereunder with respect to such waiver), shall not constitute such an increase); 

(iii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders; 

(iv) Extend the Facility Termination Date (except as set forth in Section 2.6), increase the period by which the Repayment
Date may be extended, reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section 2.1.2, increase the amount the Commitment of such Lender hereunder (without the consent of such Lender), or permit the
Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement; 
 (v) Alter any provision in this Agreement providing for the pro rata
treatment of the Lenders; 
 (vi) Amend this Section 8.2 or any provision of this Agreement requiring the consent or
other action of all of the Lenders; or 
 (vii) Unless agreed to in writing by the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or the
Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required as provided hereinabove to take such action, affect the respective rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents. 
 Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set
forth above, each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the
unanimous consent provisions set forth herein. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Defaulting Lender shall have any
right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders
other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders
or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly
identified (each in its sole discretion) an obvious error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such
provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following the posting of
such amendment to the Lenders. 

  
 63 

 No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective
without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan
Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the
conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or
other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set
forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full. 

ARTICLE IX 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 9.1 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive during the period that the Loans herein contemplated are outstanding.

obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any Applicable Law. 
 9.3
Headings. Headings to Articles, Sections and subsections of, and Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits to the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan

the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof. 

9.5 Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint
and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their 

  
 64 

 
respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arrangers shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6,
9.10 and 9.11 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

 9.6.1 Expenses. The Borrower shall pay: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent and
the Arrangers for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out of pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent) paid or

negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; 
 (iii) the Issuing Banks in connection with the issuance of any
Letter of Credit or demand for payment thereunder; and 
 (iv) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all
reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower that violates a sanction
enforced by OFAC. 
 9.6.2 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and
any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower and any of its
Subsidiaries) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of
the proceeds therefrom (including any 

  
 65 

 
refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Material on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower of any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental claim related in any way the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such
claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 9.6.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related liabilities or expenses arising from any non-Tax
claim. 
 9.6.3 Payments on Demand. All amounts due under this Section 9.6 shall be payable by the Borrower
upon demand therefor. 
 9.7 Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder
shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders. 
 9.8 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP,
except that any calculation or determination which is to be made on a consolidated basis shall be made for the Borrower and all its Subsidiaries, including those Subsidiaries, if any, which are unconsolidated on the Borrower’s audited financial
statements. 
 9.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative,
unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision in
any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby waives any provision of Applicable Law that renders any provision of the Loan
Documents prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. 
 9.10 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the
Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the
Borrower. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The
Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender shall have liability to 

  
 66 

 
the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and
the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to
sue for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(iii) to regulatory officials, (iv) to any Person as requested pursuant to or as required by Applicable Law, (v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which such Lender is a party, (vi) to such Lender’s
direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, and (vii) permitted by Section 12.4. 

9.12 Disclosure. The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates
from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrower and its Affiliates. 
 9.13 Rights Cumulative. Each of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all of their other rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents and Applicable Law, and nothing in the Loan Documents shall be construed as limiting any such rights or remedies. 
 9.14 Syndication Agent; Documentation Agents. Neither the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agents shall have any liability or obligation whatsoever to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
or any Lender at any time under this Agreement, other than its obligations as a Lender hereunder. 
 ARTICLE X 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders (for purposes of this ARTICLE X, references to the Lenders shall also mean the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) hereby irrevocably
appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Section 10.6, the provisions of this ARTICLE X are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor of its Subsidiaries 

  
 67 

 
shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any other similar term) herein or in any other
Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 10.2 Rights as a
Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 
 10.3.1 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in
nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary
or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Unmatured Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii)
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise
as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of
the automatic stay under any the Bankruptcy Code or under other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation
of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect; and 
 (iii)
shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated
to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 10.3.2 The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number 

  
 68 

 
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.2 and
8.1), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any
Unmatured Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Unmatured Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender. 

10.3.3 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Unmatured Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ARTICLE IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a
Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that
a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. 

  
 69 

 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

10.6.1 Resignation Effective Date. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or
such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or has accepted such appointment, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such note on the Resignation Effective
Date. 
 10.6.2 Discharge of Duties After Resignation. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring
Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for in Section 10.6.1. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this ARTICLE X and Section 9.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on 

  
 70 

 
such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 10.8 No Other Duties, etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agents or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
 10.9
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect or any other judicial proceeding
relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount
of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents, sub-agents and counsel and all other amounts due
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 9.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents,
sub-agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.4 or 9.6. 
 10.10
Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. The provisions of this ARTICLE X (other than Section 10.2) shall apply to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions
apply to the Administrative Agent. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 
 11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without
limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under Applicable Law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default occurs, each Lender, the Issuing Banks and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time 

  
 71 

 
owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding
such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for
further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to
which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.1 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender,
whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon Obligations owing to it in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact
and (ii) purchase participations (for cash at face value) in the Obligations held by the other Lenders so that after such acquisition each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of the then outstanding Obligations; provided that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising
from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans to any
assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under the Bankruptcy Code or under other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this
Section 11.2 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 11.2 to share in the
benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or

  
 72 

 
other amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral or other
protection ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

 12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender
must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating
security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or
assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the
Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion
(but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by
acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights
to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan. 
 12.2 Participations. 
 12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any
Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note
held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence
thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement 

  
 73 

 
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 8.2 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.18.1, 2.18.2, 2.19, and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject
to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.3 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.21 with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.1 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.2 as
though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 12.2.2 Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 12.3 Assignments. 

12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any
time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit
12.3.1. The consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that if an
Event of Default has occurred and is 

  
 74 

 
continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender
or an Affiliate thereof shall (unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
(calculated as at the date of such assignment) or outstanding Loans (if the applicable Commitment has been terminated). The consent of the Issuing Banks (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment
that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding). The consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required for any assignment hereunder. No such assignment shall be made to (A) a natural person, (B) the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (C) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause. 
 12.3.2
Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing
such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all
purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party
hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitments assigned to such Purchaser but such
transferor Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18.1, 2.18.2, 2.19, and 2.20 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided
that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be
evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in
principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2.2. 
 12.3.3 Assignments by a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in
addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties 

  
 75 

 
to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment,
purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Percentage of Loans previously requested but not funded
by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (i) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (ii) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall
be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 12.3.4 Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address for notices referred to in Schedule 1.1-B a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection
by each of the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 12.4
Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by
Section 9.11 of this Agreement. 
 12.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to
any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the
provisions of Section 2.19. 
 ARTICLE XIII 

NOTICES 

13.1 Notices. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.12 with respect to Borrowing Notices, Swingline Borrowing
Notices and Continuation/Conversion Notices, all notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including

first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, or (z) if given by any other means, when delivered (or, in the case of electronic transmission, received) at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the
Administrative Agent under Article II shall not be effective until received. 
 13.2 Change of Address. The Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the
parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall become effective when (a) it has been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the
Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission or telephone that it has taken such action and (b) the Borrower has paid all outstanding fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower in connection with the termination of the Existing Credit
Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” file format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XV

hereafter have as to the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court or that such a court is an inconvenient forum. The Borrower hereby waives personal service of process and consents that service of process upon it may be made by certified
or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII, and service so made shall be deemed completed on the third Business Day after such service is deposited in
the mail. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Indemnified Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Lender or any other Indemnified Person to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Any judicial proceeding by the Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender
involving any Loan Document Related Claim shall be brought only in a court located in the City and State of New York.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is effective as of the 30th day of April, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) by and between ADMA Biologics, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 65 Commerce Way, Hackensack, NJ 07601-6302 (the “Company”), and  Brian Lenz (the “Executive”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company desires to secure the employment of the Executive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Executive desires and is willing to accept employment with the Company in accordance herewith.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.           Employment.  The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to serve the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commencing on the Start Date and continuing until such employment relationship is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.           Term of Employment.  The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on May 1, 2012 (the “Start Date”) and, subject to earlier termination as provided herein, shall continue until the third anniversary of the Start Date (the “Term”).  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, on the third anniversary of Start Date, and each third anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for an additional three years upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, unless there is delivered by either party at least 90 days prior to any scheduled expiration of the Term, such party’s intention not to further extend the term of this Agreement.

3.           Positions and Duties.  The Executive’s duties hereunder shall be those which shall be prescribed from time to time by the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), or a committee designated thereby in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, and shall include such executive duties, powers and responsibilities as customarily attend the offices of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of a company comparable to the Company, reporting directly to the CEO.  The Executive will hold, in addition to the offices of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, such other executive offices in the Company and its subsidiaries to which he may be elected, appointed or assigned by the Board of Directors from time to time, and will discharge such executive duties in connection therewith.  The Executive shall devote substantially all of his full working time, energy and skill (reasonable absences for vacations and illness excepted), to the business of the Company as is necessary in order to perform such duties faithfully, competently and diligently.

 

  

  

  

 

4.           Compensation.  During the Term, the Executive shall receive, for all services rendered to the Company hereunder, the following:

(a)           Base Salary.  The Executive shall be paid an annual base salary of no less than Two Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($257,500) (the “Base Salary”), less withholding and other deductions for benefits as provided to all employees of the Company.  The Executive’s annual base salary shall be payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s general payment policies but no less frequently than monthly.

(b)           Annual Performance Bonuses.  The Executive shall be eligible to receive bonuses (each, a “Bonus”) during each calendar year of his employment, of up to 30% of the Executive’s base salary then in effect, in accordance with the Company’s standard practice as determined from time to time by the CEO and the Board of Directors and based upon the Executive meeting his annual performance goals.  The targets with respect to the Bonus for the period ending December 31, 2012 (the “Initial Bonus Period”) shall be mutually agreed upon between the Executive and the CEO, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date.  The targets with respect to the Bonus for each annual period following the Initial Bonus Period shall be mutually agreed upon at the beginning of each calendar year by the Executive and the Chief Executive Officer, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Each Bonus, if any, shall be paid to the Executive not later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of the Company’s respective operating financial results and in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which the bonus relates.  No bonus will be paid for any operating period unless the Executive is an employee of the Company at the end of such operating period.

(c)           Incentive Compensation.  The Executive shall be eligible for awards from the Company’s incentive compensation plans, including without limitation any stock option plans, applicable to high level executive officers of the Company or to key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, in accordance with the terms thereof and on a basis commensurate with his position and responsibilities.  The Company hereby agrees to cause the issuance to the Executive of stock options (the “Stock Options”) to purchase such number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), representing 1.25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof, in accordance with the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Stock Options shall be exercisable at a price per share equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Common Stock on the date of grant and shall vest over a four year period from the Start Date as follows: an initial 25% of the Stock Options will become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Start Date; and the remaining Stock Options will become exercisable in equal monthly installments of the total remaining number of shares covered by the Stock Options over the following 36 months on the monthly anniversary of the Start Date.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Stock Options shall be incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant.

In the event that there is (i) a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company and (ii) within twelve (12) months following such Change in Control the Executive is terminated without Cause (as defined below) or the Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), all of the unvested Stock Options shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable.

8.           Resolution of Differences Over Breach of Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or the breach hereof, shall be reviewed in the first instance in accordance with the Company’s internal review procedures, if any, with recourse thereafter, for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief only, to the courts having jurisdiction thereof, and if any relief other than injunctive relief is sought, then to arbitration in the State of New Jersey in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgments upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages, from the Executive.

9.           Waiver.  The waiver by a party hereto of any breach by the other party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by a party hereto.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company, and the Company shall be obligated to require a successor (whether by stock transfer or the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) (the “Successor”) to expressly assume its obligation hereunder.  In the absence of such assumption, or if following a Change of Control, this Agreement is terminated by the Executive with Good Reason or by the Successor without Cause during the twelve (12) month period following the Change of Control, the Company shall pay and provide to the Executive the amount and benefits which would have been payable  and/or provided to the Executive had the Executive been terminated by the Company without Cause, as set forth in Section 5(a), however the period of time set forth in Section 6(a) shall be extended to twelve (12) months.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive or his legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, devises and legatees. The Executive may not assign any of his duties, responsibilities, obligations or positions hereunder to any person; any such purported assignment by him shall be void and of no force and effect.

11.           Notices.  Any notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing, and if personally delivered or when sent by first claim certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested--in the case of the Executive, to his residence address as set forth below, and in the case of the Company, to the address of its principal place of business as set forth above, in care of the Board of Directors--or to such other person or at such other address with respect to each party as such party shall notify the other in writing.

12.           Additional Representation of Executive.  The Executive represents and warrants that he is not party to any agreement which would prohibit him from entering into this Agreement or performing fully his obligation hereunder.

13.           Survival of Certain Provisions.  The obligations of the Executive set forth in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement and in the Company’s Executive NDA attached as Exhibit A hereto, represent independent covenants by which the Executive is, and will remain, bound notwithstanding any breach by the Company, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14.           Construction of Agreement.

(b)           Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(c)           Headings.  The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement.

15.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Executive NDA and the Incentive Stock Option Agreement to be entered into between the Executive and the Company evidencing the grant of the Stock Options, contain the entire agreement of the parties concerning the Executive’s employment and all promises, representations, understandings, arrangements and prior agreements on such subject are merged herein and superseded hereby, including without limitation, the offer letter between the parties dated April 11, 2012.  The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified, repealed, waived, extended or discharged except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, modification, repeal, waiver, extension or discharge is sought.  No person other than a duly authorized officer of the Company shall have authority, on behalf of the Company, to agree to amend, modify, repeal, waive, extend or discharge any provision of this Agreement or anything in reference thereto or to exercise any of the Company’s rights to terminate or to fail to extend this Agreement.

16.           Executive Proprietary Information and Intellectual Property Agreement.  As a condition to the Executive’s employment hereunder, on the date hereof, the Executive shall execute and deliver a copy of the Executive Confidentiality and Assignment Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Executive NDA”).  The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the terms of the Executive NDA are incorporated herein by reference and made part hereof as though fully set forth herein, and the Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that he has reviewed and will continue to be bound by the terms thereof following the termination of his employment with the Company, as set forth in the Executive NDA.

Without limitation to any other provision herein set forth herein, during and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not materially and adversely affect the Executive or expose the Executive to an increased probability of civil or criminal litigation.  The Executive’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually

 

  

9

  

 

convenient times.  During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with his performance under this Section 17, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, provided that the Executive shall not incur costs and expenses in excess of $1,000 in the aggregate without the prior written consent of the Company.   For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 17 shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment and any termination of this Agreement.

18.           409A.  The parties intend that the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement to either be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) or be provided in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that no payments due under this Agreement shall be subject to an "additional tax" as defined in Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.  In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all payments and benefits which are payable upon a termination of employment hereunder shall be paid or provided only upon those terminations of employment that constitute a ‘separation from service’ from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (determined after applying the presumptions set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)).  All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit

19.           Non-Disparagement.  During the Term and thereafter, the Executive agrees not to defame, disparage or criticize the Company, its business plan, procedures, products, services, development, finances, financial condition, capabilities or other aspect of its business, or any of its shareholders in any medium (whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, whether currently existing or hereafter created), to any person or entity, without limitation in time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Executive may confer in confidence with his advisors and make truthful statements as required by law, or make statements to the Board of Directors of the Company.  Company agrees that its officers and directors will not defame, disparage, or criticize Executive to any person or entity, without limitation in time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company may confer in confidence with its advisors and make truthful statements as required by law.  This Section 19 shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment and any termination of this Agreement.

20.           Indemnification.  The Executive shall be entitled  to the benefit of such indemnification and liability insurance as is available to all other officers of the Company.

Nothing herein contained shall, however, prohibit Executive’s acquisition or ownership of stock or securities listed on a national or regional securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, so long as such investments, in the aggregate, in any particular business enterprise constitute less than five percent (5%) of the total issued and outstanding stock and securities of such enterprise. The term “Competing Business” means (i) the development and commercialization of human plasma and plasma-derived therapeutics, and (ii) any other business being conducted by the Company.

2.           Non-Solicitation. Executive absolutely and unconditionally covenants and agrees that during the Restrictive Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, for any reason, whether for Executive’s own account or for the account of any other person, natural or legal, without the prior written consent of the Company: (i) solicit, employ, deal with or otherwise interfere with any contract or relationship of the Company with any employee, officer, director or any independent contractor of the Company, while such person or entity is employed by or associated with the Company or in the case of former employees within one year of the termination of such person’s employment with the Company during the Restrictive Period; (ii) solicit, accept, deal with or otherwise interfere with any contract or relationship of the Company with any independent contractor, customer, client or supplier of the Company or with any person, natural or legal; or (iii) solicit or otherwise interfere with any existing or proposed contract between the Company and any other person, natural or legal.
