SECONDMENT 
 2.1
Noble shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Partnership Parties the Seconded Persons to (a) perform the activities related to the Partnership Parties’ respective obligations under each of the agreements listed in Exhibit
A and (b) otherwise perform the day-to-day management of the business conducted, or to be conducted, by the Partnership Parties, as described in Exhibit A ((a) and (b) collectively referred to herein as the
“Services”). 
 2.2 Subject to Noble’s right to be reimbursed for such expenses in accordance with this
Agreement, Noble shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with the retention of the Seconded 

  
 3 

 
Persons, including, but not limited to, Seconded Employee compensation, salaries, wages and overhead and administrative expenses, charged to or incurred by Noble, and, if applicable, social
security taxes, workers compensation insurance, retirement and insurance benefits and other such expenses. Any Seconded Employees retained by Noble may be union or non-union employees, and Noble shall have the sole right to negotiate the terms and
provisions of any labor or other agreements with the unions to which such employees belong. 
 2.3 Noble shall provide, or cause to
be provided, such suitably qualified and experienced Seconded Persons as Noble is able to make available to the Partnership Parties, and the Partnership Parties shall have the right to approve such Seconded Persons. 

2.4 During the term of this Agreement, Noble shall second employees of the Noble Entities that provide the Services to the Partnership
Parties. Each employee who Noble seconds to the Partnership Parties shall, during the time that such employee is seconded to the Partnership Parties under this Agreement (the “Period of Secondment”), be referred to individually
herein as a “Seconded Employee” and, collectively, as the “Seconded Employees.” 
 2.5 During the
term of this Agreement, Noble shall second contractors of the Noble Entities that provide the Services to the Partnership Parties. Each such contractor who Noble seconds to the Partnership Parties shall, during the Period of Secondment, be referred
to individually herein as a “Seconded Contractor” and, collectively, as the “Seconded Contractors,” and together with the Seconded Employees, the “Seconded Persons.” 

2.6 The Seconded Employees will remain at all times employees of the Noble Entities, but, in addition, during the Period of Secondment,
they will also be joint employees of the Partnership Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that Seconded Persons may, during the Period of Secondment, be called upon to perform services for both the Partnership Parties and
Noble. Noble retains the right to terminate the Secondment of any Seconded Persons for any reason at any time or to discharge the Seconded Employees with respect to their employment with Noble. The Partnership Parties will have the right to
terminate the Secondment to it of any Seconded Persons for any reason at any time, upon prior written notice to Noble, but at no time will the Partnership Parties have the right to terminate any Seconded Employee’s employment by a Noble Entity
or a Seconded Contractor’s independent contractor relationship with a Noble Entity. Upon the termination of the Secondment of any Seconded Persons, such Seconded Persons will cease performing Services for the Partnership Parties. 

2.7 In the course and scope of performing any job functions for the Partnership Parties, each Seconded Employee will report into the
Partnership Parties’ management structure, and will be under the direct management, supervision and control of the Partnership Parties with respect to such Seconded Employee’s performance of the Services, with Seconded Contractors
remaining at the direction of the respective contractor. No Seconded Persons shall have the authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of Noble in connection with the performance of the Services during any Period of Secondment. 

2.8 Those Seconded Employees who serve as supervisors or managers and who are called upon to oversee the work of other Seconded
Employees providing or to otherwise provide management support on behalf of the Parties are designated by the Partnership Parties as supervisors to act on the behalf of the Partnership Parties in supervising the Seconded Employees pursuant to
Section 2.7 above. Any such Seconded Employee will be acting on the behalf of the Partnership Parties when supervising the work of the Seconded Employees or when they are otherwise providing management or executive support on behalf of the
Partnership Parties. 

  
 4 

 2.9 Noble shall obtain workers’ compensation coverage as defined and required by law
on behalf of both Noble and the Partnership Parties. 
 2.10 The Partnership Parties may terminate any of the Services performed by
Seconded Persons on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Noble. In the event the Partnership Parties, or any of them, terminates such Services, the Partnership Parties shall pay Noble the Services Reimbursement (as defined below) for
the last month (or portion thereof) in which it received such terminated Services. Upon payment thereof, the Partnership Parties shall have no further Services payment obligations to Noble pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such terminated
Services. 
 2.11 No member of the Partnership Parties shall be deemed to be a participating employer in any Benefit Plans during the
Period of Secondment. Subject to the Partnership Parties’ reimbursement obligations hereunder, Noble shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans, and the Seconded
Employees will be covered under the Benefit Plans subject to and in accordance with their respective terms and conditions, as they may be amended from time to time. Noble and its ERISA Affiliates may amend or terminate any Benefit Plans in whole or
in part at any time (subject to the applicable provisions of any collective bargaining agreement covering Seconded Employees, if any). During the Period of Secondment, no member of the Partnership Parties shall assume any Benefit Plans or have any
obligations, liabilities or rights arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans, in each case except for cost reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 3 
 EXPENSE
REIMBURSEMENT 
 3.1 The Partnership Parties shall reimburse Noble for all reimbursable expenses under Section 3.2 incurred
by Noble with respect to Seconded Persons (including, where applicable, former Seconded Employees) in connection with the performance of the Services during the preceding period (the “Services Reimbursement”). The Services
Reimbursement shall be made on a monthly basis or at such other intervals as the Parties may agree from time to time. 
 3.2 (a) The
Services Reimbursement with respect to Seconded Employees for each period during the Period of Secondment shall include all reasonable costs and expenses (including administrative costs) incurred for such period by Noble for the Seconded Employees
(including, where applicable, former Seconded Employees), including but not limited to the following costs and expenses set forth below: 
  

	 	(i)	salary, wages and cash bonuses (including payroll and withholding taxes associated therewith); 

  

	 	(ii)	amounts paid with respect any Seconded Employee’s paid leave of absence; 

  

	 	(iii)	contributions made by Noble towards any Benefit Plans; 

  

	 	(iv)	the value of equity-related compensation granted to Seconded Employees during the Period of Secondment; 

  

	 	(v)	any other employee benefit or compensation arrangement customarily provided to all employees by Noble for which Noble incurs costs with respect to Seconded Employees; and 

  
 5 

	 	(vi)	business travel expenses and other business expenses reimbursed in the normal course by Noble, such as subscriptions to business-related periodicals and dues to professional business organizations. 

The costs and expenses described in this Section 3.2(a) are referred to as “Seconded Employee Expenses.” Where it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the amount of such a cost or expense, the Partnership Parties and Noble shall mutually agree on the method of determining or estimating such cost or expense. If the actual amount of any cost or expense, once known, varies
from the estimate used for billing purposes hereunder, the difference, once determined, shall be reflected as either a credit or additional charge in the next monthly invoice issued by Noble, or in such manner as may be otherwise agreed between
Noble and the GP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that to determine the value of a Second Employee’s non-wage benefits described in subsections (iii) and (v) of this Section 3.2(a), they will apply an agreed
percentage benefit load, based on the value of employee benefits provided to all Noble employees. 
 (b) The Services Reimbursement with respect to Seconded
Contractors for each period during the Period of Secondment shall include, on a pass-through basis, all costs and expenses attributable to the performance of the Services incurred for such period by Noble with respect to the Seconded Contractors.
The costs and expenses described in this Section 3.2(b) are referred to as “Seconded Contractor Expenses,” and together with the Seconded Employee Expenses, the “Seconded Person Expenses.” 

3.3 With respect to those Seconded Persons who perform services for both Noble and the Partnership Parties, the Parties will determine
in good faith the percentage of such Seconded Person’s time spent providing services to the Partnership Parties (the “Allocation Percentage”). For each month, or other time interval agreed to by the Parties, during the Period
of Secondment, the amount of the Services Reimbursement payable by the Partnership Parties with respect to each Seconded Person shall be calculated by multiplying the Seconded Person Expenses for such Seconded Person times the Allocation Percentage
for such Seconded Person; provided, however, that travel expenses and other expenses incurred with respect to and/or reimbursable to a Seconded Person shall be paid by the Party for whom the Seconded Person was working at the time they were
incurred, except that expenses related to activities that benefit both the Partnership Parties and Noble (e.g. some types of training) shall be shared by the affected Parties in accordance with the Allocation Percentage (or such other allocation as
may be agreed between the affected Parties). 
 3.4 The Partnership Parties and Noble acknowledge and agree that Noble shall be
responsible for paying the Seconded Employee Expenses (or providing the employee benefits with respect thereto, as applicable) to the Seconded Employees and that Noble may be responsible for paying the Seconded Contractor Expenses to the respective
contractor, but that the Partnership Parties shall be responsible for reimbursing Noble for the Seconded Person Expenses (as part of the Services Reimbursement) to the extent provided under Section 3.2 of this Agreement. 

3.5 This Agreement does not address the reimbursement of any costs or expenses associated with Services other than the Services
Reimbursement. To the extent that Noble or any Affiliate of Noble incurs any out-of-pocket expenses (other than the Services Reimbursement) in connection with the provision of Services, Noble or such Affiliate may be entitled to reimbursement
therefor under the terms of the Partnership Agreement or the Omnibus Agreement. 

  
 6 

 ARTICLE 4 

ALLOCATION; RECORDS 
 Noble
will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) establish the Allocation Percentage and to the document the basis for such allocation and (ii) maintain a schedule reflecting the direct and indirect costs of the Seconded Person Expenses
based on the Services that the Seconded Persons have provided to the Partnership Parties. The Partnership Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain books/records reflecting the hours worked in connection with each of the
Seconded Persons. Each Party will have the right to audit such records maintained by the other during regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice. 

ARTICLE 5 
 TERM 

The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue for an initial period of fifteen (15) years (the
“Initial Term”). Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement shall automatically extend for successive one year extension terms, unless either Party provides at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to the other Party prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any extension term that the Party wishes for this Agreement to expire at the end of the Initial Term or the then-current extension term, as applicable. Upon proper
notice by a Party to the other Party, in accordance with this Article 5, that the Party wishes for this Agreement to expire on the expiration of the applicable period, this Agreement shall not automatically extend, but shall instead expire
upon the expiration of the applicable period and only those provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Parties may terminate this Agreement at any time upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Noble and only those provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so survive. 

ARTICLE 6 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 6.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and expresses the entire agreement between the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. All previous discussions, promises, representations and understandings relative thereto are hereby merged in and superseded by this Agreement.

 6.3 Amendment. Any actions or agreement by the Parties to amend, modify or

6.4 Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party
or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is in writing signed by an authorized representative of such Party. The failure of any
Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, or in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and
every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 

  
 7 

 6.5 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision or
provisions shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction
would be unreasonable. 
 6.6 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and
their successors and permitted assigns. The successors and permitted assigns hereunder shall include any permitted assignee under Section 6.10 as well as the successors in interest to such permitted assignee (whether by merger,

this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall not confer upon any third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement or other right. In furtherance but not in limitation
of the foregoing: (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to provide any Seconded Employee or Seconded Contractor with a right to continued Secondment or employment; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an
amendment to any Benefit Plans or limit in any way the right of Noble and/or its ERISA Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate, in whole or in part, any Benefit Plans which may be in effect from time to time.

Section, then the Applicable Rate shall be determined based upon Pricing Level 4 of the Leverage Based Pricing Grid and shall continue to apply until the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered in
accordance with Section 6.01(c), whereupon the Applicable Rate shall be adjusted based upon the calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio contained in such Compliance Certificate. 

Each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from a publicly announced change in the Public Debt Ratings shall be effective during the period commencing on
the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the Public Debt Ratings from both S&P and Moody’s cease to be available, then the Applicable Rate shall
be determined based upon Pricing Level 4 of the Rating Based Pricing Grid and shall continue to apply until the date that the Parent shall have obtained a Public Debt Rating from S&P and/or Moody’s, whereupon the Applicable Rate shall be
adjusted based on the Public Debt

 ARTICLE II 

THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWINGS 

2.01 The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower
from time to time, in Dollars, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any
Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s delivery to the Administrative Agent of an irrevocable written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by or on behalf of the Borrower, which may be delivered via facsimile. Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and
(ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion or continuation of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice shall
specify (iii) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case
may be (which shall be a Business Day), (v) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (vi) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (vii) if applicable, the
duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made
as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify, each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the
applicable Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the
preceding Section. Each Lender shall make the amount of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Sections 4.01 and 4.02), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of
[                    ] with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided
to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect a Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such
Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, to the Borrower as provided above. 
 (c)
Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 

  
 23 

 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any
time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in
[                    ]’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same
Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans. 
 2.03 Letters of Credit. 

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of
the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b) below; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that (i) no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension that would (i) result in the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued
by it to exceed $20,000,000 or (ii) result in the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuers to exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; and provided further that no L/C
Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension (x) the Total Outstandings
would exceed the Aggregate Commitment and (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, would exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving,
and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit and, in the case of clauses (B) and
(C) below no L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit, if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C
Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed
loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than
twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; 

  
 24 

 (C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date; 
 (D) the issuance of such Letter
of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer; or 
 (E) such Letter of Credit is (1) in an initial
amount less than $100,000, (2) is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars, or (3) is to be issued for a purpose other than to support surety bonds (including appeal bonds), worker’s compensation requirements and other
general corporate purposes. 
 (iii) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under any of Sections 2.03(a)(ii)(B), (C) or (E)(2) or (3). 

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does
not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by or on behalf of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be
received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance
date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance
date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request
for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the an L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof
(which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. 

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the Borrower will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof upon the Administrative
Agent’s request therefor. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of
Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not be satisfied, then, upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in
accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each
case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such
L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 

  
 25 

 (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application,
the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a
day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a
specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such
Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be
permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received
notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or
(2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension. 
 (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising
bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or a report containing information with
respect thereto including the face amount of such Letter of Credit, the date of issuance or amendment and such other information as may be required by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give the Lenders notice of the issuance
of any Letter of Credit and any amendment thereto. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. The Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent by paying an amount equal to the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit not
later than (A) if the Borrower shall have received notice of such drawing prior to 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day, then 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day or (B) otherwise, 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that the
Borrower receives such notice (each such date for reimbursement, a “Reimbursement Date”). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
Reimbursement Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the
amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c)(i) 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. 

  
 26 

 (ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as the applicable L/C Issuer) shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share 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 2.03(c)(iii), 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 such L/C Issuer. 

(iii) 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 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this
Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer. 

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of
Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; (C) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto; (D) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that such Lender may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for
whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating
thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (E) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (F) any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
or (G) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse an L/C Issuer for the amount of
any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any
Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C 

  
 27 

 
Issuer 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 L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer 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 Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of any L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of
Participations. 
 (i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received
from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed
Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is paid by such Lender, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse each L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off,
defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 

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

  
 28 

 (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower. 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of
any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer
and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 (f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that,
in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or
assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower
hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s
pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, any Lender, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or
assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible to the Borrower for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential, punitive or
exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which damages have been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such
L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) (the “ISP”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. 

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of
Credit). Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of
Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 

  
 29 

 (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The
Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account (A) a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer equal to 0.125% per annum times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit); provided that in no event shall such fee be less than $500 during any quarter, and (B) customary fees for the issuance, presentation,
amendment and other processing of Letters of Credit, and other standard costs and charges of such L/C Issuer relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect. The fees pursuant to clause (A) shall be computed on a quarterly basis in
arrears and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. The fees pursuant to clause (B) are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. 

2.04 Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements
of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans made by each Swing Line Lender shall not exceed
$20,000,000, (ii) the Outstanding Amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, (iii) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (iv) the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan will be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times
the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to each applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by each such Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the
requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the Swing Line Lender or the Swing Line Lenders that are requested to provide the requested Swing Line Borrowing, (ii) the amount to be borrowed from each such Swing Line Lender, which, in
each case, shall be a minimum of $100,000 and (iii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to each such Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by or on behalf of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by each such Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, each such Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, each such Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents
thereof. Unless a Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing such
Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line
Loan available to the Borrower. 

  
 30 

 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 

(i) Each Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for a Loan for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Such Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower
with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds for the account of such Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.04(c)(ii), 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 such Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance
with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by a Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Swing Line Lender any amount
required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), such Swing Line Lender 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 Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of a Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.04(c) 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 any Swing Line
Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a 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 Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of
Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan,
if the applicable Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof in the same funds as those received by such Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If any payment received by a Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to
be returned by such Swing Line Lender under any 

  
 31 

 
of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to such Swing
Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative
Agent will make such demand upon the request of a Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Each Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on
the Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender. Until each Lender funds its Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such
Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line
Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of Swing Line Loans made by each Swing Line Lender directly to such Swing Line Lender. 

2.05 Prepayments. 
 (a)
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less,
the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify (x) the date and amount of such prepayment and (y) the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender, as the
case may be, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that, a notice of prepayment of all outstanding Loans may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any incurrence or
issuance of debt or equity or the occurrence of any other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked, subject to Section 3.05, by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date)
if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be
applied to the Loans in accordance with the Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares. 
 (b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the applicable Swing Line
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be
received by such Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 

(c) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay
Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless
after the prepayment in full of the Loans, the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitment then in effect. 
 2.06 Termination or
Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received
by the Administrative Agent not later 

  
 32 

 
than 12:00 noon three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitment,
and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or such Swing Line Sublimit
shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess; provided further that, a notice of termination of the Aggregate Commitment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any incurrence or
issuance of debt or equity or the occurrence of any other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked, subject to Section 3.05, by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date)
if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitment. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied to the Commitment of
each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 

2.07 Repayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date. 

(b) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is
made and (ii) the Maturity Date; provided that on each date that a Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to prepay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding on a pro rata basis. 
 2.08 Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan (other than Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) While any Event of Default exists, the
Borrower shall (i) automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under any of Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) or (ii) upon the request of the Required Lenders, in the case of any other Event of Default, pay
interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due
amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 2.09 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata
Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitment exceeds the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Loans and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. For the 

  
 33 

 
avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitment for purposes of determining the commitment fee. The
commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4.02 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business
Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and
if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately (but not invoiced separately) for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate
was in effect. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as applicable, such other
fees as may be set forth herein (including those set forth in Section 2.03(h) and 2.03(i)) or as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing (including pursuant to the Fee Letters) in the amounts and at the times so
specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 2.10 Computation of
Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. 
 (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans based on the prime
commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and
actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. 

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Parent or for any other reason, the Parent or
the Required Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Parent as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher
pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders (or former Lenders), promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the
occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the
excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case
may be, under Section 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. The failure
of any Swing Line Lender to make any Swing Line Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Swing Line Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the commitments of the Swing Line Lenders are several and no Swing Line
Lender shall be responsible for any other Swing Line Lender’s failure to make Swing Line Loans as required. 
 2.11 Evidence of
Debt. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Swing Line Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Swing Line Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender, each
L/C Issuer and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any
error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender
and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Note which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Upon the

  
 34 

 
request of any Swing Line Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Swing Line Lender a Swing Line Note, which shall evidence the applicable Swing Line Loans made by
such Swing Line Lender to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender and each Swing Line Lender may attach schedules to its Revolving Note or its Swing Line Note, as applicable, and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to
in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in
the absence of manifest error. 
 2.12 Payments Generally. 

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. 
 (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be
made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(c) (i) Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the
Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make
available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then each of the Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and
including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or such L/C Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of
such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share
available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance 

  
 35 

 
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and
(B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative
Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit
Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several
and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.05 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do
so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or make its payment under Section 9.05. 

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.13
Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the
purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other
applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, without interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.
Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the
Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 

2.14 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written
request of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the L/C Issuers and/or 

  
 36 

 
the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such
Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 
 (a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to
the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lenders), a first priority security interest in all such
Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the applicable L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(b) below. 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, any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is
less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to
any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 
 (b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.14 or Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund
participations in respect of L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 
 (c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the
appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the L/C Issuers and/or the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14 following
(i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the good faith determination by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing
Line Lenders that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.16, the Person providing Cash Collateral, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to
support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided further that to the extent such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the
Loan Documents. 
 2.15 Increase in Aggregate Commitment. 

(a) Upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders identified by the Borrower), the Borrower may from time to
time during the term of this Agreement request an increase in the Aggregate Commitment to an amount not exceeding $700,000,000 (after giving effect to any such increase) at any time; provided that (i) any such request for an increase
shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (ii) immediately before and after giving effect to such increase in the Aggregate Commitment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and (iii) after giving to such increase in the Aggregate Commitment (including any Borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date), the Borrower shall be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the financial covenants
set forth in Section 7.02. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no
event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees, in its sole discretion, to increase its Commitment
and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees (including prior to, and in lieu of,
inviting Lenders) to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. 

(b) If the Aggregate Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the
effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the 

  
 37 

 
final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. As a
condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: 

(i) copies of corporate resolutions certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, or such other evidence as may be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, demonstrating that Borrower’s incurrence of indebtedness hereunder in the amount of the Aggregate Commitment as increased pursuant to this Section 2.15 and with a maturity date of the Stated
Maturity Date, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, together with, upon request of the Administrative Agent, an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (which, as to certain matters as agreed by the Administrative Agent, may be
internal counsel) to such effect and as to such other customary matters regarding the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and 

(ii) a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible
Officer of the General Partner, on behalf of the Parent and a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the
other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, (or, if such representation speaks as of an earlier date, as
of such earlier date), (B) no Default or Event of Default exists and (C) the Parent is in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.02 hereof. 

(c) The Borrower shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Aggregate Commitment under this Section. 

(d) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.12 or 10.01 to the contrary. 

2.16 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) 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: 
 (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. 

(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 Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line
Lenders with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit
account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s 

  
 38 

 
potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ and the Swing Line Lenders’
future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to
the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final and non-appealable
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 eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived,
such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded
participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with
the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). 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 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. 

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee payable under Section 2.09(a) for any
period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender except as set forth in
clause (C) below). 
 (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees
pursuant to Section 2.03(h) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to
Section 2.14. 
 (C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09 or Letter of Credit fee that
would otherwise have been paid to any Defaulting Lender if it were not a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to the L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lenders, as applicable,
the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent that the Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure has been reallocated to the L/C Issuers’ or Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting
Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 
 (iv) Reallocation of Participations
to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the
Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) 

  
 39 

 
but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified
the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of
any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No
reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of the Borrower or a Non-Defaulting Lender as
a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (v) Cash Collateral,
Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above 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 the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, (x) as to Swing Line Loans, repay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Fronting Exposure applicable to the Defaulting Lender or, if such Swing
Line Loans cannot be repaid, Cash Collateralize the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to the Fronting Exposure applicable to the Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14 and (y) as to
Letters of Credit, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to the Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders agree in writing that
a Lender is no longer 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 at par 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
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of their respective Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(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 that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and
provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from
that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans and L/C Issuers shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the applicable Swing Line Lender or the applicable
L/C Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related Fronting Exposure and the then outstanding Fronting Exposure applicable to the Defaulting Lender (x) will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or
(y) Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.14, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(a)(iv) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

ARTICLE III 
 TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) L/C Issuers. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and the term
“Law” includes FATCA. 

  
 40 

 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a
Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Law. If any 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 applicable Loan Party 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 3.01(b)), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Tax
been made. 
 (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties 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. 

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after receipt by
the Borrower of 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 3.01) 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, accompanied by the
calculations by which such determination was made by such Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Evidence of
Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Loan Party 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. 

(f) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender (which solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(f) shall include the Administrative Agent) 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 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 Sections 3.01(f)(ii), (B) and (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, 

(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; 

  
 41 

 (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, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) 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, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) 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) properly completed and 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 F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is neither 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, nor a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
(y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form); 

(4) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8EXP claiming an exemption from withholding Tax; or 

(5) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY,
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, 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 F-4 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 reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such

  
 42 

 
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 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. 

(g) 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 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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 3.01 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 3.01(g) (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 3.01(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.01(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified
party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments
or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 3.01(g) 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. 
 (h) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender
and each L/C Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have 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 10.07(d) 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 3.01(h). The agreements in this Section 3.01(h) shall survive
the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 43 

 (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 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. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such
Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may
not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. In connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the
ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that
the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and each
Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein. 
 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. 

(a) 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 any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) or any L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded 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 L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or 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 of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan), or to increase the cost to such 

  
 44 

 
Lender or such L/C Issuer 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 or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending
Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender, an L/C Issuer or such other
Recipient setting forth the Change in Law giving rise to a claim for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Lender, such other Recipient
or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (including an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts was
determined) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any
continuation, conversion, payment of principal or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise); 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow,
continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower (even if permitted to revoke such notice); or 

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16; 
 including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to
maintain such Loan (excluding loss of anticipated profits) or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with
the foregoing. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each
Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable
period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office 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 good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, 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 materially 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. 
 3.07 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. A certificate of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (including, if requested by the Borrower, an explanation in reasonable detail of the
manner in which such amount or amounts was determined) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate
Commitment and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Parent or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities Laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Materials constitute
Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and
(z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” 

6.02 Payment of Taxes and Obligations. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge
its material obligations, including material Tax liabilities, before the same shall become delinquent, except where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and such Loan Party or such Subsidiary
has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

its respective Subsidiaries to, maintain or caused to be maintained with insurance companies that are rated (or whose reinsurers are rated) “A-VII” or better by A.M. Best Company or “BBB-” or better by Standard & Poors
or an equivalent rating from another recognized rating agency, insurance with respect to their respective properties and business in at least such amounts, against at least such risks and with such risk retention as are customarily maintained,
insured against or retained, as the case may be, by companies engaged in a similar business, to the extent available at the time in question on commercially reasonable terms; and will furnish to the Lenders, upon request from the Administrative
Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. 
 6.04 Conduct of Business and Maintenance of
Existence. Each Loan Party will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect their respective legal existence and good standing under
the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and their respective rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business; provided that nothing in this Section 6.04 shall prohibit a
transaction permitted pursuant to Section 7.05. 
 6.05 Compliance with Laws. Each of the Loan Parties will comply, and
cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to comply, in all material respects with all applicable material Laws and requirements of Governmental Authorities (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, the Patriot Act and ERISA and the rules
and regulations thereunder) except where the necessity or fact of compliance therewith is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent will maintain
in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Parent, its Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions (and such policies and
procedures will be applicable to such directors, officers, employees and agents of Noble that serve as the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Parent and its Subsidiaries).

permit, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to permit, representatives of any Lender at such Lender’s expense to visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to 

  
 54 

 
examine and make abstracts from any of their respective books and records, and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent
public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may reasonably be desired; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any visit and inspection by a Lender shall be at the sole expense of
the Borrower.

failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its
rights and remedies under the Material Contracts (other than with respect to immaterial notice and information rights the non-enforcement of which the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries determine in good faith do not have an adverse effect on their
ordinary course of business), including rights with respect to indemnities, cost reimbursements and purchase price adjustments, in a manner consistent with, and to the same extent that, it would do so in an arms’-length transaction with an
unrelated third party. 
 6.10 Guarantee Matters. 

(a) Within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing) after the acquisition or formation of

joinder to the Guarantee Agreement and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) documents of the types referred to in Sections 4.01(a)(iii) and (iv) and (B) favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which, as

form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, no less than wholly-owned Material Subsidiary existing on or after the Closing Date shall be required to become a Guarantor hereunder until such
time as such Subsidiary becomes a wholly-owned Material Subsidiary.

Debt of the Borrower or the Parent, then that Subsidiary shall become a guarantor of the Obligations and shall deliver a joinder to the Guarantee Agreement to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which it
guaranteed such Debt, together with such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. 

(c) On and after the Guarantee Release Condition Date, the Loan Parties shall not be required to comply with the requirements of
Section 6.10(a) and each Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement; provided, that, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result from such release, (ii) such Guarantor is not then a guarantor of any other Debt of the Borrower or the Parent, and (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate, executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, confirming that the conditions to release set forth in this Section have been satisfied. 

  
 55 

 (d) If the conditions set forth Section 6.10(b) requiring such Subsidiary to be a
Guarantor no longer exist, then such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement; provided, that, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from
such release and (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, confirming that the conditions to release set forth in this Section have been satisfied. 

(e) In connection with any release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver, and agrees
to promptly execute and deliver, such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

 6.11 Subsidiaries. With respect to each non-wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Parent: (a) to the extent such
Subsidiary is a limited partnership, 100% of the general partnership interests in such Subsidiary shall be owned by the Parent or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent and (ii) in all cases, the Parent or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the
Parent shall Control such Subsidiary.

 (a) declare the commitment of each Lender
to make Loans and any obligations of any L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 

  
 64 

 (b) 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 with respect to the Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit 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 Loan Parties; 
 (c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations
(in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and 
 (d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies
available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law; 
 provided, however, in each case, that upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g), the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of each L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts
(including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as
otherwise required by Law.

Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or
expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

 ARTICLE IX 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints
[                    ] 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. The
provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the
use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

9.02 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, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Parent, 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. 

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 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: 

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(b) 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 Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting
Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (c) 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 Parent, the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or
any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 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 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 10.01 and 8.02) 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 Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer. 

  
 66 

 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 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. 
 9.04 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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such
L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent), 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. 

9.05 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, (a) the Lenders
shall severally indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each Agent-Related Person related to the Administrative Agent and (b) the Lenders shall severally indemnify upon demand each L/C Issuer and each Agent-Related Person related to
such L/C Issuer (in each case, to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata (determined as of the time at which such indemnification is sought), and hold
harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it, provided that such unreimbursed Indemnified Liabilities were incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer in each
case in its capacity as such or against any Agent-Related Persons acting for the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person
of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
shall severally reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The obligations of the Lenders in this Section are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.12(e) and shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitment, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 

9.06 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-agents 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-agents. 

  
 67 

 9.07 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give
notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent at the reasonable request of the Borrower
and the Required Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default exists), 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, in the case of resignation, 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, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) 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 and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. 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 (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). 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 and Section 10.04 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. 
 Any resignation by
[                    ] as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and a Swing Line
Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and retiring
Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 9.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer
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 and each L/C Issuer 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 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. 
 9.09 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers 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, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder. 

9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial 

  
 68 

 
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C 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, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.

furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant
to Article II if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as 

  
 70 

 
applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed
received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or
other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or
communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or

AGENT/ARRANGER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any of their Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent/Arranger Parties”) have any liability to any
Loan Party, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Parent’s, Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent/Arranger Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent/Arranger Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect,
special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
 (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each
of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may
change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may
be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. 
 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and Lenders.
The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made
in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of
the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person
in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

  
 71 

 10.04 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or

Attorney Costs (but limited to one primary outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) and (b) to pay
or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan

Costs (but limited to one primary outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and to the extent necessary, (i) one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (ii) one
counsel for each group of similarly situated Persons in the case of an actual or asserted conflict of interest among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title
insurance and appraisal charges and fees and Other Taxes related thereto, and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and
repayment of all other Obligations. 
 10.05 Indemnification; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Loan Parties shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact of each of the foregoing (collectively the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs but limited to one primary
outside counsel for the Indemnitees, and to the extent necessary, (x) one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Indemnitees and (y) one counsel for each group of similarly situated Persons in the case of an actual or asserted
conflict of interest among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection
with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer 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 Substances on or from any property currently or formerly owned or
operated by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, in each case whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether brought by the Borrower or any third party (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or
arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee,
(y) material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents or (z) a dispute solely among Indemnitees so long as such dispute does not involve, or result from, (I) an action or inaction by any Loan
Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party or (II) a dispute against the 

  
 72 

 
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or
other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefore. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. Without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.01, this Section 10.05(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(b) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. Without limiting the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations under
Section 10.05(a), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered pursuant hereto, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.05(a) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of
such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. 

10.07 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d) or (iii) by way of
pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f) or (j) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for

  
 73 

 
purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned, and 

(B) in any case not described in Section 10.07(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent
assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met. 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any Swing Line
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender. 
 (iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is, in the case of an assignment of Loans or a Commitment, to a Person that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender; provided, 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 ten (10) Business Days after having received
notice thereof; 
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required if such assignment is in the case of an assignment of Loans or a Commitment, to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; 

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuers (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); and 

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment in respect of Loans or a Commitment. 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and the assignor or assignee, as the case may be, shall deliver a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

  
 74 

 (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made
(A) to the Parent, the Borrower or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) 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 (B), or (C) to a natural person. 
 (vi) Certain Additional Payments. 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 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 pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and
assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and
(y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. 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 subsection, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all
purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided hereunder, and only to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 10.07(b) 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 10.07(d). 

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax
purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) 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 and L/C Obligations 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,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or

  
 75 

 
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(d), participations in L/C Obligations
and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 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 subsections (a) through (g) of
Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 that 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 notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, 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. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.01 (including Section 3.01(f)), and be subject to Sections 3.06 and 10.16 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be
delivered to the participating Lender). 
 (f) 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 Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central 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. 

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like
import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (h) As used herein, the following terms
have the following meanings: 
 “Eligible Assignee” means any Person that meets the requirements to be an
assignee under Section 10.07(b)(iii) and (b)(v) (subject to such consents, if any, as may be required under Section 10.07(b)(iii)). 

  
 76 

 “Fund” means any Person (other than a natural Person) that is
(or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business. 

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of
a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as
security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging
Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect
to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time
any Swing Line Lender or any L/C Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(b) above, such Swing Line Lender or such L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as a
Swing Line Lender or an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as a Swing Line Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders (only if such Lender accepts such appointment) a successor L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such L/C Issuer as an L/C Issuer or such Swing Line Lender as a Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be. In connection with any such resignation, (i) such L/C Issuer shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as
L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and (ii) such Swing Line
Lender shall retain all the rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c), as applicable. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (I) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be and (II) the successor L/C Issuer (or another L/C Issuer hereunder) shall issue letters of credit in substitution for
the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (i.e. FINRA)
purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any

contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower; (g) with the consent of the Parent or the Borrower; (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or the
Borrower; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization (including any credit insurance provider relating to the Parent and/or the Borrower). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may disclose, after the Closing Date, the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar 

  
 77 

 
service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to such Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary and other than information pertaining
to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 
 10.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies
of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice
being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and
other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from
that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or such Affiliate; provided, however, that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In
determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of manually
executed counterpart hereof and shall constitute an agreement to deliver an original executed counterpart if requested. 
 10.12
Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject
matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against
nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 

  
 78 

 10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made
hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will
be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 

10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
(a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.15 Reserved. 

10.16 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, 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 to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending
office in accordance with Section 10.16(a), or if any Lender suspends its obligations to make, maintain or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.02 or any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting
Lender, then 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 10.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.04 or Section 3.01) 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: 

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.07(b); 

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Advances,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) 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); 
 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; 

(e) 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; and 
 (f) In the event that such Lender is an L/C Issuer and any one or more Letters of Credit
issued by such L/C Issuer under this Agreement remain outstanding, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Letters of Credit upon terms reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer to secure the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse for drawings
under such Letters of Credit or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit including providing other credit support. 

  
 79 

 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. Solely for purposes of effecting any assignment involving a Defaulting Lender under this
Section 10.16 and to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, each Lender hereby agrees that any Assignment and Acceptance done in accordance with this Section 10.16 shall be effective against a Defaulting Lender one
(1) Business Day after it has been given notice of the same, whether or not such Defaulting Lender has executed such Assignment and Acceptance, and such Defaulting Lender shall be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if such Defaulting
Lender had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered the same.
