 THE ACCOUNTS BANK 

Section 2.01 Appointment and Authority. The Collateral Agent hereby appoints and authorizes the Accounts Bank to act as
depository for the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, and as the securities intermediary or bank with respect to the Borrower Accounts and the Lessee Revenue Account for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Senior Secured Parties, with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Accounts Bank by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Accounts Bank hereby accepts this appointment and
agrees to act as the depository for the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, and as the securities intermediary or bank with respect to the Borrower Accounts and the Lessee Revenue Account, for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Accounts Bank further agrees to accept and hold, as securities intermediary or as a bank, in its custody and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, for the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, the Borrower Accounts and the Lessee Revenue Account and the Accounts Property. The Collateral Agent also appoints and authorizes the Accounts Bank to act on its behalf
for the purpose of the 
  

					
		  	2	  	Accounts Agreement

 
creation and perfection of a first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, in the Borrower Accounts and the Lessee Revenue Account to
the extent that they are deemed under applicable Law not to constitute securities accounts or deposit accounts and in any Accounts Property that is deemed under applicable Law not to constitute a Financial Asset. The Accounts Bank accepts this
appointment and agrees to act as the Accounts Bank for the Collateral Agent, on behalf and for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, for such purpose and to hold and maintain exclusive dominion and control over the Borrower Accounts and the
Lessee Revenue Account and any such Accounts Property on behalf of the Collateral Agent, acting on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Financing Document, the Accounts Bank
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Accounts Bank have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Financing Document or otherwise exist against the Accounts Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to
the Accounts Bank is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 Section 2.02 Exculpatory
Provisions. (a) Neither the Accounts Bank, nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Accounts
Bank shall not: 
  

	 	(i)	be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

 

	 	(ii)	have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that it is
required to exercise as directed in writing by an Agent; provided that the Accounts Bank shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Accounts Bank to liability or that is
contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law; and provided further that no such direction given to the Accounts Bank that in the sole judgment of the Accounts Bank imposes, or purports to impose, or might reasonably be expected to
impose upon the Accounts Bank any obligation or liability not set forth in this Agreement or arising under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Accounts Bank unless it, in its sole discretion, accepts such direction; 

 

	 	(iii)	except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, or be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, OpCo II or any of
their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Accounts Bank or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; or 

  

					
		  	3	  	Accounts Agreement

	 	(iv)	be required to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with, or otherwise take steps to enforce, this Agreement or any other Financing Document
other than on the instructions of an Agent. 

 (b) Neither the Accounts Bank nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the prior written consent or at the request of an Agent, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Accounts Bank shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to it in writing by the Borrower or an Agent. 

(c) Neither the Accounts Bank nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall 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 Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report, opinion 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 (including the use of proceeds) or the occurrence
or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, or (iv) the execution, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness or admissibility into evidence of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by any Security Document (or title to or rights in any Collateral under any Security Document), other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to Accounts Bank. 
 (d) Accounts Bank may, unless and until it shall
have received directions from an Agent, take such action or refrain from taking such action in respect of a Default or Event of Default of which Accounts Bank has been advised in writing by an Agent as it shall reasonably deem advisable in the best
interests of the Lenders (but shall not be obligated to do so). 
 (e) The Accounts Bank shall not be required to
advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against
any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. 

Section 2.03 Reliance by Accounts Bank. The Accounts Bank shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not (nor shall any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents) 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) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Accounts Bank may also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably
believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Accounts Bank may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts reasonably selected by it, 

 

					
		  	4	  	Accounts Agreement

 
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. The Accounts Bank may at any time and from time to time
solicit written instructions in the form of directions from an Agent or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.04 Delegation of Duties. The Accounts Bank may perform any and all of
its duties and exercise any and all its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct in selecting a sub agent, the Accounts Bank shall not be responsible for any
action of, or failure to act by, any sub agent that has been approved by the Administrative Agent. The Accounts Bank 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 II shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Accounts Bank and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with
their acting as Accounts Bank. 
 Section 2.05 Resignation or Removal of Agent. (a) Accounts Bank may resign
from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Borrower, OpCo II and the Administrative Agent. Accounts Bank may be removed at any time by the Administrative
Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Accounts Bank, in accordance with this Section 2.05. 

(b) Upon any notice of resignation by the Accounts Bank or upon the removal of the Accounts Bank by the Administrative
Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower and OpCo II (provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Accounts
Bank hereunder and under each other Financing Document who shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least two hundred fifty million Dollars ($250,000,000). 

(c) If no successor Accounts Bank has been appointed by the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required
Lenders, within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Account Bank or the Administrative Agent elected to remove the Accounts Bank, the Accounts Bank may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Accounts Bank. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Accounts Bank, as applicable, who shall serve as Accounts Bank hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, appoints a successor Accounts Bank, as provided above. 

(d) Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Accounts Bank hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Accounts Bank, and the retiring (or removed) Accounts Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retirement or
removal of the Accounts Bank hereunder, the provisions of this ARTICLE II shall continue in effect for the benefit of the retiring (or removed) Accounts Bank, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions

(a) it will act as depositary agent, as “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of
Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) with respect to each of the Borrower Accounts and the Lessee Revenue Account that is a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) and the Financial Assets credited to

notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to the establishment and operation of the Borrower Accounts and the Lessee Revenue Account, the jurisdiction of the Accounts Bank (in its capacity as the securities
intermediary and bank) is the State of New York; 
 (b) the Accounts Bank hereby agrees and confirms that it has

“securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC); (ii) the Borrower is the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of the “financial

the Lessee Revenue Account, in each case that are “securities accounts”; (iii) all Financial Assets in registered form or payable to or to the order of and credited to any such Borrower Account or the Lessee Revenue Account, as

“control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) or Section 9-104(a) (as applicable) of the UCC) of each Borrower Account or the Lessee Revenue Account and the Borrower’s or OpCo II’s, as applicable,

instructions and orders (including entitlement orders within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding each such account and any Financial Asset therein originated by the Collateral Agent without the further consent of the
Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable, or any other Person. In the case of a conflict between any instruction or order originated by the Collateral Agent and any instruction or order originated by the Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable, or
any other Person other than a court of competent jurisdiction, the instruction or order originated by the Collateral Agent shall prevail. The Accounts Bank shall not change the name or account number of any Borrower Account or the Lessee Revenue
Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable, and shall not change the entitlement holder;

 (c) it shall promptly perform all duties imposed upon a securities
intermediary and a bank under the UCC and this Agreement. In this regard, (i) if the Accounts Bank has knowledge that an issuer of any Financial Asset is required to make a payment or distribution in respect of such Financial Asset, the
Accounts Bank shall have fulfilled its duty under applicable Law to take action to obtain such payment or distribution if (A) it credits such payment or distribution to the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account, as applicable, in
accordance with this Agreement if such payment or distribution is made or (B) it notifies the Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent that such payment or distribution has not been made, and
(ii) if the Accounts Bank is required by applicable Law or this Agreement to credit to any Borrower Account or the Lessee Revenue Account, any Financial Asset purported to be transferred or credited to the Accounts Bank pursuant to applicable

Asset transferred or credited to the Accounts Bank, in its capacity as Accounts Bank, and the Accounts Bank shall have no duty to ensure that applicable Law has been complied with in respect of the transfer of the Financial Asset or to create a

Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any property contained in the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account, as applicable, that is not deemed to be a Financial Asset under applicable Law, to the extent permitted by

property deposited therein or credited thereto of which the Accounts Bank has actual knowledge, the Accounts Bank may comply with such order, without authorization from the Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable, or the Collateral Agent;

Account, OpCo II in writing thereof; and 
 (i) the Accounts Bank has not entered into and will not enter
into any agreement with respect to the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account or any Financial Assets or other property deposited in or credited to any of them other than this Agreement. The Accounts Bank has not entered into and will not
enter into any agreement with the Borrower, OpCo II or any other Person purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Accounts Bank to comply with entitlement orders or any other order originated by the Collateral Agent in accordance
with Section 3.06(b) (Accounts) or Sections 3.07(b) or (c) (Accounts as Deposit Account).

Section 3.07 Accounts as Deposit Account. (a) To the extent that the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account are
not considered securities accounts, such Accounts shall be deemed to be deposit accounts in respect of any property deposited in or credited to the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account, as applicable, that is not deemed to be a Financial
Asset under applicable Law. Such deposit accounts and such property shall be maintained with the Accounts Bank acting not as a securities intermediary, but as a bank. 

(b) The Borrower shall be deemed the customer of the Accounts Bank for purposes of the Borrower Accounts and OpCo II
shall be deemed the customer of the Accounts Bank for purposes of the Lessee Revenue Account and, as such, shall be entitled to all of the rights that customers of banks have under applicable Law with respect to deposit accounts, including the right

(c) The parties hereto agree that, to the extent that the Borrower Accounts are not or the Lessee Revenue Account is not
considered “securities accounts” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account, as applicable, shall be deemed to be “deposit accounts” (as defined in
Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC) to the extent a security interest can be granted and perfected under the UCC in the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account, as applicable, as deposit accounts, which the Borrower or OpCo II, as

responsibilities expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no additional duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities shall be inferred from the provisions of this Agreement or imposed on the Accounts Bank. The Accounts Bank will act at the
written direction of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and, as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Borrower or OpCo II, but will not be required to take any action that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law or that,
in its reasonable judgment, would involve it in expense or liability, unless it has been furnished with adequate indemnity against such expense or liability. The Accounts Bank will have no responsibility to ensure the performance by any other party
of its duties and obligations hereunder. The Accounts Bank will use the same care with respect to the safekeeping and handling of property held in the Borrower Accounts and the Lessee Revenue Account as the Accounts Bank uses in respect of property

Section 3.09 Subordination. (a) The Accounts Bank hereby acknowledges the security interest granted hereby to the
Collateral Agent, on behalf and for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties. If the Accounts Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of

applicable Law or otherwise a right of recoupment or set-off or any Lien in any of the Borrower Accounts or the Lessee Revenue Account or any Financial Asset or other property deposited therein
or credited thereto or any security entitlement related thereto, the Accounts Bank hereby agrees that such right of recoupment or set-off and/or any such Lien shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of and
for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties. The Accounts Bank agrees that it shall not assert or enforce any such right of recoupment or set-off and/or any Lien until the Discharge Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this

the Senior Secured Parties.

Borrower or OpCo II that are required to be deposited into the Borrower Accounts or Lessee Revenue Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the Lease shall be held by the Borrower or OpCo II, as
applicable, in trust for the Collateral Agent, on behalf and for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of the Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Borrower or
OpCo II, as applicable, be turned over to the Collateral Agent or its designee in the same form as received by the Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable (duly endorsed by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent or by OpCo II to the Borrower
and by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, if requested) for deposit and disbursement in accordance with this Agreement. 

Section 3.11 Interest and Investments. (a) Borrower Accounts (i) Each amount deposited in or credited to any
Borrower Accounts from time to time shall, from the time it is so deposited or credited until the time it is withdrawn from such Account (whether for the purpose of making an investment in Cash Equivalents or otherwise applied in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement), earn interest at such rates as may be agreed from time to time by the Borrower and the Accounts Bank. 
  

	 	(ii)	Prior to the receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Suspension, any amounts in the Borrower Accounts shall be invested, at the risk and expense of the Borrower, solely
in such Cash Equivalents as the Borrower may direct in writing. The Borrower shall select Cash Equivalents having such maturities as shall cause the Borrower Accounts to have a cash balance as of any day sufficient to cover the transfers to be made
from the Borrower Accounts on such day in accordance with this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the Project Documents. Upon delivery by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower of a Notice of Suspension and until written revocation of such
Notice of Suspension is delivered to the Borrower by the Collateral Agent, any amounts in the Borrower Accounts shall be invested from time to time, solely in such Cash Equivalents as the Collateral Agent may direct. 

 

					
		  	21	  	Accounts Agreement

	 	(iii)	If the cash balance in any Borrower Account is as of any day insufficient to cover the transfers to be made from such Borrower Account on such day, the Collateral Agent
may direct the Borrower to sell or liquidate the Cash Equivalents standing to the credit of the Borrower Revenue Account (without regard to maturity date) in such manner as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary in order to obtain cash at least
sufficient to make such transfers and to pay any expenses and charges incurred in connection with effecting any such sale or liquidation, which expenses and charges the Borrower shall be authorized to pay with cash on deposit in such Borrower
Account. Neither the Accounts Bank nor any Senior Secured Party shall be liable to any Person for any loss suffered because of any such sale or liquidation. 

 

	 	(iv)	All interest and other investment income earned from Cash Equivalents made from amounts in the Borrower Accounts shall remain in the Borrower Accounts until transferred
from the Borrower Revenue Account in accordance with the terms of this Article III. 

  

	 	(v)	It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that all investment income earned on amounts on deposit in or credited to the Borrower Accounts for all Tax purposes shall be
attributed to and be income of the Borrower. The Borrower shall be responsible for determining any requirements for paying Taxes or reporting or withholding any payments for Tax purposes hereunder. The Borrower shall prepare and file all Tax
information required with respect to the Borrower Revenue Account. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold each Senior Secured Party harmless against all liability for Tax withholding and/or reporting for any investment income earned on the
Borrower Revenue Account and payments in respect thereof. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. No Senior Secured Party shall have any obligation with respect to the making of or the reporting of any payments
for Tax purposes. 

 (b) Lessee Revenue Account (i) Each amount deposited in or credited to the Lessee
Revenue Account from time to time shall, from the time it is so deposited or credited until the time it is withdrawn from the Lessee Revenue Account (whether for the purpose of making an investment in Cash Equivalents or otherwise applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement), earn interest at such rates as may be agreed from time to time by OpCo II and the Accounts Bank. 
  

	 	(ii)	 Prior to the receipt by OpCo II of a Notice of Suspension, any amounts in the Lessee Revenue Account shall be invested, at the risk and expense of the
OpCo II, solely in such Cash Equivalents as OpCo II may direct in writing. OpCo II shall select Cash Equivalents having such maturities as 

 

					
		  	22	  	Accounts Agreement

	 	
shall cause the Lessee Revenue Account to have a cash balance as of any day sufficient to cover the transfers to be made from the Lessee Revenue Account on such day in accordance with this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the Project Documents. Upon delivery by the Collateral Agent to OpCo II of a Notice of Suspension and until written revocation of such Notice of Suspension is delivered to OpCo II by the Collateral Agent,
any amounts in the Lessee Revenue Account shall be invested from time to time, solely in such Cash Equivalents as the Collateral Agent may direct. 

  

	 	(iii)	If the cash balance in the Lessee Revenue Account is as of any day insufficient to cover the transfers to be made from the Lessee Revenue Account on such day, the
Collateral Agent may direct OpCo II to sell or liquidate the Cash Equivalents standing to the credit of the Lessee Revenue Account (without regard to maturity date) in such manner as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary in order to obtain cash at
least sufficient to make such transfers and to pay any expenses and charges incurred in connection with effecting any such sale or liquidation, which expenses and charges OpCo II shall be authorized to pay with cash on deposit in the Lessee Revenue
Account. Neither the Accounts Bank nor any Senior Secured Party shall be liable to any Person for any loss suffered because of any such sale or liquidation. 

 

	 	(iv)	All interest and other investment income earned from Cash Equivalents made from amounts in the Lessee Revenue Account shall remain in the Lessee Revenue Account until
transferred from the Lessee Revenue Account in accordance with the terms of this Article III. 

  

	 	(v)	It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that all investment income earned on amounts on deposit in or credited to the Lessee Revenue Account for all Tax purposes shall
be attributed to and be income of OpCo II. OpCo II shall be responsible for determining any requirements for paying Taxes or reporting or withholding any payments for Tax purposes hereunder. OpCo II shall prepare and file all Tax information
required with respect to the Lessee Revenue Account. OpCo II agrees to indemnify and hold each Senior Secured Party harmless against all liability for Tax withholding and/or reporting for any investment income earned on the Lessee Revenue Account
and payments in respect thereof. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. No Senior Secured Party shall have any obligation with respect to the making of or the reporting of any payments for Tax purposes.

 Section 3.12 Notices of Suspension of Accounts. (a) The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be
required to, suspend the right of the Borrower or OpCo II, as applicable, to withdraw or otherwise deal with any funds deposited in or credited to the Borrower Accounts, or the Lessee Revenue Account at any time during the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default by delivering a notice to the Borrower or OpCo II, as the case may be (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (a “Notice of Suspension”). 

 

					
		  	23	  	Accounts Agreement

 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Financing Documents, after
the issuance by the Collateral Agent of a Notice of Suspension in accordance with Section 3.06(a) (Accounts) and until such time as the Collateral Agent advises the Borrower and OpCo II (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) that it has withdrawn such Notice of Suspension, (which it shall promptly do if such Event of Default is no longer continuing or has been waived) no amount may be withdrawn by the Borrower from any Borrower Account or OpCo II from the
Lessee Revenue Account, including for investment in Cash Equivalents, without the express prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Financing Documents, without the express prior written consent of the
Required Lenders, no amount may be withdrawn from any Borrower Account or the Lessee Revenue Account if a Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such withdrawal. 

(d) On the date of each withdrawal by the Borrower from the Borrower Accounts, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent
and warrant that (i) no Notice of Suspension is in effect, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such withdrawal, unless the Required Lenders have previously consented in writing to such withdrawal,
notwithstanding that a Notice of Suspension is in effect or that a Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such withdrawal. 

(e) On the date of each withdrawal by OpCo II from the Lessee Revenue Account, the Borrower shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that (i) no Notice of Suspension is in effect, and (ii) that no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such withdrawal, unless the Required Lenders have previously consented in writing to such
withdrawal, notwithstanding that a Notice of Suspension is in effect or that a Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such withdrawal.

 ARTICLE II 

COMMITMENTS AND BORROWING 

On the terms, subject to the conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth: 

Section 2.01 Loans. (a) Each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to
make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Borrowers, from time to time but not more frequently than six (6) times each calendar month, until the last Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date in an aggregate
principal amount from time to time outstanding not in excess of the Commitment of such Lender or of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Available Commitment; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Loans at any one
time outstanding shall not exceed the Available Commitment. 
 (b) Each Borrowing of Loans shall be in the minimum amount of one
hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000) and in integral multiples of fifty thousand Dollars ($50,000) in excess thereof. 
 (c)
Proceeds of each Loan shall be deposited into an account designated by the Borrowers and applied solely in accordance with this Agreement and used solely (i) for the payment of working capital expenses of the Borrowers and (ii) to pay
transaction costs that the Borrowers incur in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents. Following the Second Train Completion Date, not less than one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) of the Aggregate
Commitment shall be committed for use solely for working capital expenses at the Project. Proceeds of a Loan shall not be used for the benefit of any Person owned, operated or controlled in whole or in part directly or indirectly by the Guarantor if
such Person is in Financial Default. 
 (d) Within the limits set forth in Section 2.01(a), the Borrowers may pay or
prepay and reborrow Loans. 
 Section 2.02 Notice of Borrowings. (a) From time to time, a Borrower may propose
a Borrowing by delivering to the Administrative Agent a properly completed Borrowing Notice not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in respect of any Eurodollar Loans and two
(2) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in respect of any Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify
(i) whether such Borrowing is requested to be of Eurodollar Loans and/or Base Rate Loans, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the amount of such requested Borrowing. 

 

 43 

 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each Lender of any Borrowing Notice, in
each such case given pursuant to this Section 2.02, together with each such Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.03 Borrowing of Loans. (a) Subject to Section 2.03(d), each Borrowing shall consist of Loans made
by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall consist of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans as a Borrower may request, or as otherwise provided, pursuant to Section 2.02 (Notice of
Borrowings); provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). 
 (b) Subject to Section 4.04
(Obligation to Mitigate), each Lender may (without relieving the Borrowers of their obligation to repay a Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes) at its option fulfill its Commitment with respect to any such
Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan. 
 (c) Subject to
Section 2.03(d), each Lender shall make a Loan in the amount of its Commitment Percentage of each Borrowing hereunder on the proposed Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, not later
than 12:00 noon New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall deposit the amounts so received into the account to be specified by such Borrower in its Borrowing Notice; provided, that if a Borrowing does not occur on the proposed Borrowing
Date because any condition precedent to such requested Borrowing herein specified has not been met, the Administrative Agent shall return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders without interest. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a proposed Borrowing Date that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing proposed to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent on such date and the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, in reliance upon such assumption, may make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the
Administrative Agent has made such amount available to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender and, if such Lender pays such

  

 44 

 
amount (together with the interest noted below), then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount
upon the Administrative Agent’s demand or within two (2) Business Days from the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall repay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days from the Administrative Agent’s request. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding
amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at an interest rate per annum equal
to (i) in the case of a payment made by such Lender, 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 and (ii) in the case
of a payment made by the Borrowers, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitment hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or
any other Financing Document, the Administrative Agent may, subject to the rights of the other Senior Secured Parties under the Security Documents, apply all funds and proceeds of Collateral available for the payment of any Obligation to repay any
amount owing by any Lender to the Administrative Agent as a result of such Lender’s failure to fund its applicable share of any Borrowing hereunder. A notice by the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amounts
owing under this Section 2.03(d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.04 Evidence of
Indebtedness. (a) Each Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business, including the Register for the recordation
of the Loans maintained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.03(c) (Assignments). The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive evidence,
absent manifest error, of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers 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
Borrowers 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, absent manifest error. 
 (b) The Borrowers agree that in
addition to the Register and any other accounts and records maintained pursuant to Section 2.04(a), the Loans made by each Lender may, if requested by the Lenders, be evidenced by a Note or Notes duly executed on behalf of the Borrowers.
The Notes shall be dated the Closing Date (or, if later, the 
  

 45 

 
date of any request therefor by a Lender). Each such Note shall be payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loan and payments with respect thereto. 
 (c) In
the event that any amount hereunder or under any Note is not paid by the Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Administrative Agent or any Lender may take all such actions as it sees fit to recover
such amount, including the commencement and maintenance of proceedings in respect of its Note. 
 Section 2.05 Increase
of Commitments. (a) From time to time the Borrowers may request, in a writing delivered to each of the Lenders, that the Commitments of each Lender and the Aggregate Commitment be increased. The requested increase in the Aggregate
Commitment shall not be less than two million Dollars ($2,000,000) or greater than an amount that would cause the then-effective Aggregate Commitment to exceed eighteen million Dollars ($18,000,000). Any such increase greater than the minimum
increase permitted above shall be in integral multiples of one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000). Such writing shall include the date on which the Borrowers request that the increase of the Commitments and the Aggregate Commitment shall be
effective. 
 (b) The Commitments and the Aggregate Commitment shall be increased by the amount that the Borrowers request in
writing upon the written consent of the Lenders. 
 (c) The increase in Commitments and the Aggregate Commitment, to the extent
approved by the Lenders, shall not be effective unless: 
  

	 	(i)	No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  

	 	(ii)	A Lien shall have been created in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, pursuant to the Security Documents in any Additional
Collateral and such Lien shall be a valid, enforceable, and perfected first-priority Lien. Such Additional Collateral shall be subject to no other Lien except Permitted Liens; 

 

	 	(iii)	The Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a revised Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the inclusion of any Additional Collateral that would
constitute Eligible Receivables, or Eligible Inventory; 

  

 46 

	 	(iv)	All representations and warranties made by each of the Loan Parties in this Agreement and each of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party shall be true and
correct in all material respects on and as of the date the Commitments and Aggregate Commitment are increased (except with respect to representations and warranties that expressly refer to an earlier date), before and after giving effect to such
increase; 

  

	 	(v)	No “Default” or “Event of Default” as such terms are defined in the Term Loan Definitions shall have occurred and be continuing; and

  

	 	(vi)	The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed on fees necessary in connection with the increased Aggregate Commitment. 

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Any unused Commitments shall be terminated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default if and to the extent required pursuant to
Section 8.02 (Action Upon Bankruptcy) or Section 8.03 (Action Upon Other Event of Default) in accordance with the terms thereof. 

(b) Any Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated in full on the Final Maturity Date. 

(c) Any Commitments may be terminated or reduced, in whole or in part (in integral multiples of one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000)),
by the Borrowers upon no less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d)
Any Commitments may be permanently terminated or reduced, in whole or in part, by the Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an “Event of Default” under the Term Loan. 

Section 2.07 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. 

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be
provided by the Lenders 
  

 47 

 
under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several
liability for the Obligations of each of them. 
 (b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Agreement and the other Financing
Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. 

(c) If and to the extent that either of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when
due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. 

(d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.07 constitute full recourse obligations of such
Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets. 
 (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, to the extent permitted by Law, each Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several obligor in respect of the Obligations of the other Borrower) hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the other Senior Secured Parties under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in
connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other
action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the other Senior Secured Parties at any time or times in respect of any default by the other Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any of the Obligations any and
all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the other Senior Secured Parties in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any
time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of the other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several
obligor in respect of the Obligations of the other 
  

 48 

 
Borrower) assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the other Senior Secured Parties, including,
without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.07 afford grounds
for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.07, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain
unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.07 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.07
shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to either Borrower or any Senior Secured Party. The joint and several liability of the
Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any of any Senior Secured
Party. 
 (f) The provisions of this Section 2.07 are made for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties and their
successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against either of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Senior Secured Party first to marshal any of its claims or to
exercise any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other
remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.07 shall remain in effect until the Discharge Date. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any Senior Secured Party upon any Insolvency Event in respect of either of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.07 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

 (g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Financing Documents, to the extent
the obligations of either Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the
obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable Law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code of the United States).

Section 3.02 Interest Payment Dates. (a) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:

(b) Interest accrued on the Loans or other monetary Obligations after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Final
Maturity Date for such Loan, any Quarterly Payment Date, any Interest Payment Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand. 

(c) Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, before and after judgment, regardless of whether an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding exists in respect of a Borrower and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive post petition interest during the pendency of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

 Section 3.03 Interest Rates. (a) Pursuant to each properly delivered Borrowing Notice or Notice of Interest
Rate Election, as applicable, (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall accrue interest from (and including) the first day of each Interest Period to (but excluding) the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Loans and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect
plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans. 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 bear interest for one (1) day. 
  

 50 

 (b) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate
specified by a Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice. Thereafter, the Borrowers may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by the Loans (subject in each to the provisions of Article IV
(Eurodollar Rate and Tax Provisions) and the last sentence of this clause (b)), as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Loans to Eurodollar Loans as of any Business Day; and 

 

	 	(ii)	if such Loans are Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Eurodollar Loans for an
additional Interest Period, subject to Section 4.05 (Funding Losses) in the case of any such conversion or continuation effective on any date other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Loans. 

  

	 	(iii)	Each such election shall be made by delivering a Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at
least three (3) Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. 

(c) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify: 
  

	 	(i)	the amount of the Loans to which such notice applies; 

  

	 	(ii)	the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of
Section 3.03(b) above; 

  

	 	(iii)	if the Loans are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if the Loans being converted are to be Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest

	 	(iv)	if such Loans are to be continued as Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period. 

 

	 	(v)	Each Notice of Interest Period Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

(d) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(iii) above,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrowers. If no Notice of Interest Rate Election is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period for any
Loans constituting Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected that such Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans as of the last day of such Interest Period. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrowers shall have, in the aggregate, no more than three (3) separate Eurodollar
Loans outstanding at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Eurodollar Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Eurodollar Loans. 

(f) An election by the Borrowers to change or continue the rate of interest applicable to any Loan pursuant to this
Section 3.03 shall not constitute a “Borrowing” subject to the provisions of Section 6.02 (Conditions to All Borrowings). 

(g) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Loan may be requested as, converted to, or continued as a Eurodollar Loan
hereunder. 
 Section 3.04 Post-Maturity Interest Rates; Default Interest Rates. (a) If all or a portion of
(i) the principal amount of any Loan is not paid when due (whether on the Final Maturity Date for such Loan, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto plus two percent (2%) or (ii) any Obligation (other than principal on the Loans) is not paid when due (whether on the Final Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus two percent (2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid
in full (after as well as before judgment). 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (other
than an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) (Events of Default - Nonpayment), the Borrowers shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by Law, in 

 

 52 

 
addition to the interest then payable on any Loan, additional interest (after as well as before judgment) on the Loans at two percent (2%) per annum until such Event of Default is cured or
waived. 
 (c) The interest rate per annum that the Borrowers must pay pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) or
(b) shall be the “Default Rate”. 
 Section 3.05 Computation of Interest. All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by WestLB’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of
interest for Eurodollar Loans, and for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Federal Funds Effective Rate, shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. 

Section 3.06 Interest Rate Determination. The Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate applicable to the Loans
and shall give prompt notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s determination of the applicable interest rate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

Section 3.07 Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to prepay,
on any Interest Payment Date, the Loans, in whole or in part, upon not fewer than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Any partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in a minimum amount of one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000) and in integral multiples
of fifty thousand Dollars ($50,000) in excess thereof. 
 (c) Each notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers under this
Section 3.07 shall specify the prepayment date and the portion of the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid. All prepayments under this Section 3.07 shall be made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders and shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and by any additional amounts required to be paid under Section 4.05 (Funding Losses).

 (d) Amounts of principal prepaid under this Section 3.07 shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Section 3.12(b) (Pro Rata Treatment). 
  

 53 

 Section 3.08 Mandatory Prepayment. (a) If at any time the aggregate
outstanding amount of the Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base, as calculated by the Borrowers in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.03(m) (Reporting
Requirements) and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days thereof, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and
(2) the amount by which the aggregate amount of the Loans outstanding exceeds the lesser of the Borrowing Base (as recalculated) and the Aggregate Commitment. 

(b) If at any time a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.03(m) (Reporting
Requirements) demonstrates that the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the then effective Available Commitment, the Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of such Borrowing Base
Certificate, prepay the Loans in the amount of such excess. 
 (c) If the Borrowers elect to terminate or reduce the Commitments
pursuant to Section 2.06(c) (Termination or Reduction of Commitments), the Borrowers shall be required to prepay, on the date on which the Commitments will terminate or be reduced as determined by the Borrowers, an amount of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and (ii) the amount by which the aggregate amount of the Loans outstanding exceeds, after giving effect
to the termination or reduction of the Commitments, the lesser of the Borrowing Base and the Aggregate Commitment. 
 (d) All
prepayments under this Section 3.08 shall be made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to but excluding the date of
payment and by any additional amounts required to be paid under Section 4.05 (Funding Losses). 

Section 3.09 Time and Place of Payments. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment (including any payment of principal
of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other Obligations) hereunder and under any other Financing Document without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the date when due in Dollars in

Agreement, Attention: Loan Administration, or at such other office or account as may from time to time be specified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers. Funds received after 11:00 a.m. New York City time shall be deemed to have
been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. 
  

 54 

 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each
Senior Secured Party its share, if any, of any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Senior Secured Party. 

(c) Whenever any payment (including any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other Obligations) hereunder or
under any other Financing Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by the proviso to the definition of “Interest Period” with respect to
Eurodollar Loans) be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day, and such increase of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 

Section 3.10 Borrowings and Payments Generally. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment
on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. If the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from (and including) the date such amount is distributed to it to (but excluding) the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 3.10(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain 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 funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 (c)
The Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due under this Agreement or under the Notes held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers’
accounts with such Lender any amount so due. 
  

 55 

 Section 3.11 Fees. (a) From and including the date hereof until the Final
Maturity Date, the Borrowers agree to pay in arrears to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, on each Quarterly Payment Date, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to one percent (1.0%) per
annum on the average daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitment exceeds the outstanding amount of Loans, during the calendar quarter or portion thereof then ended. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as pro-rated for any partial quarter, as applicable. 
 (b) From and including
the date hereof until the Final Maturity Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date and each anniversary of the Closing Date, monitoring fee in respect of the
Borrowing Base in an amount of $50,000. 
 (c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds. Once
paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 3.12 Pro Rata Treatment.
(a) Each Borrowing and, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01 (Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful), each reduction of commitments of any type, pursuant to Section 2.06 (Termination or Reduction of
Commitments) or otherwise, and each payment of Fees and other Obligations (other than the payments allocated pursuant to Section 3.12(b)), shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective applicable Commitment Percentages. 
 (b) Except as required under Article IV
(Eurodollar Rate and Tax Provisions), (i) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata among the Lenders in proportion to their respective principal amounts
of the Loans then outstanding, (ii) each payment of interest on the Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata among the applicable Lenders in proportion to their respective amounts of unpaid interest on
the Loans then outstanding, and (iii) each payment of fees on the Commitments shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

(c) Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may,
in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. 

Section 3.13 Sharing of Payments. (a) If any Lender obtains any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary,
involuntary, by application of setoff or 
  

 56 

 
otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Article IV (Eurodollar Rate and Tax Provisions) in excess of its pro rata share of payments
then or therewith obtained by all Lenders holding Loans of such type, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in Loans of such type made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender that has
sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(x) the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect
of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including pursuant to Section 11.14 (Right of Setoff)) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 

(b) If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which
this Section 3.13 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 3.13 to share in
the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 
 ARTICLE IV 

EURODOLLAR RATE AND TAX PROVISIONS 

Section 4.01 Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful. (a) If any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall, upon
notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or
other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, maintain or fund any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, maintain or fund any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan shall, upon such determination,
forthwith be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the
then-current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such Law or assertion. Upon any such conversion the Borrowers shall pay any accrued 

 

 57 

 
interest on the amount so converted and, if such conversion occurs on a day other than the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such affected Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall be
entitled to make a request for, and the Borrowers shall pay, compensation for breakage costs under Section 4.05 (Funding Losses). 

(b) If such Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described in Section 4.01(a)
no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall automatically again bear interest as Eurodollar Loans in accordance with this Agreement, on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related
Eurodollar Loans of other Lenders. 
 Section 4.02 Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rates. (a) In the event,
and on each occasion, that on or before the day that is three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent has determined in good faith that (i) Dollar deposits in the
amount of such Loan and with an Interest Period similar to such Interest Period are not generally available in the London interbank market, or (ii) the rate at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to any Lender of making, maintaining or funding the principal amount of such Loan during such Interest Period, or (iii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify
the Borrowers and the Lenders of such determination, whereupon each such Eurodollar Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan. In the event of any such
determination pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i) or (iii), any Borrowing Notice delivered by the Borrowers shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan until the Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist. In the event of any determination pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii), each affected Lender may, and is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to, fund its portion of the Loans as a Base Rate Loan. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (b) Upon the Administrative
Agent’s determination that the condition that was the subject of a notice under Section 4.02(a) has ceased, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such determination, whereupon each Base
Rate Loan that was the subject of such notice will automatically, on the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date, again bear interest as a Eurodollar Loan in accordance with this Agreement. 

Section 4.03 Increased Eurodollar Loan Costs. If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law or any change
therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Eurodollar

  

 58 

 
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority would increase the cost to such Lender of, or result in any reduction in the amount of
any sum receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) in respect of, making, maintaining or funding (or of its obligation to make, maintain or fund) the Loans as Eurodollar Loans, then the Borrowers agree to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount of any such increase or reduction. Such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state
the additional amount required to compensate fully such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrowers directly to such Lender within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such
notice, and such notice and determination shall be binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error. 
 Section 4.04
Obligation to Mitigate. (a) Each Lender agrees that after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event that would entitle it to give notice pursuant to Section 4.0l (Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful), 4.03
(Increased Eurodollar Loan Costs), or 4.06 (Increased Capital Costs) or to receive additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.07 (Taxes), such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make, fund or
maintain its affected Loan through another lending office if as a result thereof the increased costs would be avoided or materially reduced or the illegality would thereby cease to exist and if, in the opinion of such Lender, the making, funding or
maintaining of such Loan through such other lending office would not be disadvantageous to such Lender, contrary to such Lender’s normal banking practices or violate any applicable Law. 

(b) No change by a Lender in its Domestic Office or Eurodollar Office made for such Lender’s convenience shall result in any
increased cost to the Borrowers. 
 (c) If any Lender demands compensation pursuant to Section 4.03 (Increased
Eurodollar Loan Costs) or 4.06 (Increased Capital Costs) with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, the Borrowers may, at any time upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the
Administrative Agent, elect to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan. Thereafter, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, all such Eurodollar Loans by such
Lender shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. If such Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Loan shall automatically again bear interest as Eurodollar
Loans in accordance with this Agreement, on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Eurodollar Loans of other Lenders. 

Section 4.05 Funding Losses. In the event that any Lender incurs any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred
by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or 

 

 59 

 
maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, and any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing) as a result of
(a) any conversion of the type of interest rate borne by the Loans or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans on a date other than the scheduled Interest Payment Date or Quarterly Payment Date applicable thereto, whether
pursuant to Section 3.03 (Interest Rates), Section 3.07 (Optional Prepayment), 3.08 (Mandatory Prepayment), 4.01(a) (Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful) or otherwise or (b) the
Borrowers failing to make a Borrowing in accordance with any Borrowing Notice; then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days of
receipt thereof, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice and determination shall be binding on
the Borrowers absent manifest error. 
 Section 4.06 Increased Capital Costs. If, after the date hereof, any change
in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any applicable Law or guideline, or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority affects the amount of capital
required to be maintained by any Lender, and such Lender reasonably determines that the rate of return on its capital as a consequence of its Loan is reduced to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for the occurrence of any
such circumstance then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall pay within five (5) Business Days after such demand directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall be binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error. 

Section 4.07 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction for, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers are required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from any such payment, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.07) the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 

 

 60 

 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. In addition, the Borrowers shall timely
pay any Indemnified Taxes arising from any payment made under any Financing Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, any Financing Document and not collected by withholding at the source as
contemplated by Section 4.07(a) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (c)
Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written 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 4.07) paid by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest, additions to tax and 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 Borrowers by a Lender or Agent, as the case may
be, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers 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. 
 (e) Foreign
Lenders. Each Lender (including any Participant and any other Person to which any Lender transfers its interests in this Agreement as provided under Section 11.03 (Assignments)) that is not a United States Person (a
“Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two (2) copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with supporting documentation), or any
subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments of interest by the Borrowers under
the Financing Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any
form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to
the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

 Section 8.03 Action Upon Other Event of Default. (a) If any other Event of
Default occurs for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, by written notice to the Borrowers declare all or any portion of the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations to be due and payable and/or any outstanding Commitments (if not theretofore terminated) to be terminated, whereupon the full unpaid amount of such Loans and other Obligations that has been
declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, without further notice, demand or presentment and/or, as the case may be, any outstanding Commitments shall terminate. During the continuance of such an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may, or upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise any or all remedies provided for under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents. 

(b) Any declaration made pursuant to Section 8.03(a) may, should the Required Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion
so elect, be rescinded by written notice to the Borrowers at any time after the principal of the Loans has become due and payable, but before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies so due, or any part thereof, has been entered;
provided that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 8.04 Application of Proceeds. Any moneys received by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the

ARTICLE IX 

GUARANTEE 

Section 9.01 Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby guarantees to the Senior Secured Parties the performance and prompt payment in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, upon any optional or mandatory prepayment or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations in each case strictly in accordance with their terms. The Guarantor hereby further agrees that if a
Borrower fails to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, upon any optional or mandatory prepayment or otherwise) all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will immediately pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that, in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, it will timely pay the same in full when due (whether at extended maturity, upon acceleration, upon
any optional or mandatory prepayment or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of that extension or renewal. This guarantee is irrevocable and unconditional in nature and is made with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations now existing or in the
future arising. The liability of the Guarantor under this guarantee shall continue until full satisfaction of all the Guaranteed Obligations. This guarantee is a guarantee of due and punctual payment and performance and is not merely a guarantee of
collection. 
  

 102 

 Section 9.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor under
Section 9.01 (Guarantee) shall be continuing, irrevocable, primary, absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other agreement or
instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance
whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 9.02 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter, limit or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain
absolute and unconditional, as described above, without regard to and not be released, discharged or in any way affected (whether in full or in part) by: 

(a) any modification or amendment (including, without limitation, by way of amendment, extension, renewal, novation or waiver), or any
acceleration or other change in the time for payment or performance of the terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument whatsoever relating thereto; 

(b) any release, termination, waiver, abandonment, lapse or expiration, subordination or enforcement of the liability of the Guarantor
hereunder or of any other guarantee of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (c) any exchange, substitution,
release, non-perfection or impairment of any collateral securing payment of any Guaranteed Obligation; 
 (d) any release of any
other Person (including, without limitation, any other guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations) from any personal liability with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(e) any settlement, compromise, release, liquidation or enforcement, upon such terms and in such manner as applicable law may dictate, of
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of (including, without limitation, any letter of credit issued with respect to) all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(f) any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of
operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation, any guarantee or other liability in respect thereof or any collateral or other security for any of the foregoing; any sale, exchange, release,
substitution, compromise or other action in respect of any such collateral or other security; or any failure to create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any liens in any such collateral or other security; 

 

 103 

 (g) the exercise of any right or remedy available under the Financing Documents, at law, in
equity or otherwise in respect of any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligation or for any guarantee or other liability in respect thereof, in any order and by any manner thereby permitted, including, without limitation, foreclosure
on any such collateral or other security by any manner of sale thereby permitted, whether or not every aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable; 

(h) any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever
realized, whether in reduction of any Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of the Loan Parties or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of what Guaranteed Obligations may remain unpaid
after any such application; 
 (i) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
a defense, set-off or counterclaim available to the Loan Parties, the Guarantor or a surety or guarantor generally, other than irrevocable payment, performance, satisfaction or discharge in full (in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Financing Document); 
 (j) the giving of any consent to the merger or consolidation or, the sale of substantial assets by, or
other restructuring or termination of the existence of the Loan Parties or any other Person or any disposition of any shares of the Guarantor; or 

(k) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any other Loan Party or its assets or any resulting
release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations include interest on the Guaranteed Obligations at the applicable rate therefor under the Financing Documents, which accrues
after the commencement of any such proceeding (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such Guaranteed Obligations include the interest which
would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if said proceedings had not been commenced), since it is the intention of the parties that the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which is guaranteed by the Guarantor should be
determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve a Loan Party of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors or similar person to pay the Collateral Agent, or allow the claim of the Collateral Agent in respect of, interest which would have accrued after the date on which such proceeding is commenced. 

 

 104 

 (l) Should any money due or owing hereunder not be recoverable from the Guarantor for any
reason, whether by operation of law or otherwise, then, in any such case, such money shall nevertheless be recoverable by the Collateral Agent from the Guarantor as though the Guarantor were the principal debtor in respect thereof and not merely a
guarantor and shall be paid by the Guarantor forthwith. 
 Section 9.03 Waiver. 

(a) The Guarantor hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest; filing of
claims with any court; any proceeding to enforce any provision of the Financing Documents; notice of acceptance of and reliance on this Agreement by the Senior Secured Parties, notice of the creation of any Guaranteed Obligations, and any other
notice whatsoever; any requirement that the Collateral Agent exhaust any right, remedy, power or privilege or proceed or take any other action against the Loan Parties under any Financing Document, to which they are parties or any lien or
encumbrance on, or any claim of payment against, any property of the Loan Parties or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any other Person under any other guarantee of, or lien securing, or claim for payment of, any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; any right to require a proceeding by the Collateral Agent first against the Loan Parties whether to marshal any assets or to exhaust any right or take any action against the Loan Parties or any other Person or any collateral
or otherwise, any diligence in collection or protection for realization upon any Guaranteed Obligation; any obligation hereunder or any collateral security for any of the foregoing; any right of protest, presentment, notice or demand whatsoever, and
any claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all defenses, set-offs counterclaims, recoupments, reductions, limitations, impairments or terminations, whether arising hereunder or otherwise. The Guarantor further waives
(i) any requirement that the Loan Parties or any other Person be joined as a party to any proceeding for the enforcement by the Collateral Agent of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) the filing of claims by the Collateral Agent in
the event of the receivership or bankruptcy of a Loan Party. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to bring suit directly against the Guarantor with respect to the obligations owed to the Collateral Agent hereunder either prior to or
concurrently with any lawsuit against, or without bringing any suit against the Guarantor, the Loan Parties or any other Person. 

(b) The enforceability and effectiveness of this Agreement and the liability of the Guarantor, and the rights, remedies, powers and
privileges of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated, and the Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defense now or in the future arising,
by reason of: 
  

	 	(i)	the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Financing Document, or any agreement, security document, guarantee
or other instrument relating to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

 105 

	 	(ii)	any disability or other defense with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, including the effect of any statute of limitations that may bar the
enforcement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

	 	(iii)	the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any security or guarantee for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing
perfection or failure of the priority of any lien or encumbrance on any collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

	 	(iv)	the cessation, for any cause whatsoever, of the liability of the Guarantor for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than by reason of the full payment
and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations); 

  

	 	(v)	any failure of the Collateral Agent to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral (including any notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or
sale of any interest in real property serving as collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations) for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Loan Parties, the Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in, or any failure
by the Loan Parties, the Guarantor or any other Person to receive, any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral; 

 

	 	(vi)	any failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

	 	(vii)	 any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other election of remedies with respect to, any interest in real property or other collateral
serving as security for all or any 

  

 106 

	 	
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, even though such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies may impair the subrogation rights of either the Loan Parties or the Guarantor or may preclude the
Loan Parties or the Guarantor from obtaining reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or other recovery from the other or any other Person and even though the Loan Parties or the Guarantor may not, as a result of such foreclosure, sale or
election of remedies, be liable for any deficiency; 

  

	 	(viii)	any act or omission of the Collateral Agent or any other Person that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of a Loan Party of any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or guarantee (including any letter of credit) for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law or otherwise; 

 

	 	(ix)	any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or the Guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal or which reduces a surety’s or the Guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; 

  

	 	(x)	any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which a Loan Party or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations has or alleges to have with respect
to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

	 	(xi)	any failure of the Collateral Agent to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person; 

 

	 	(xii)	the election by the Collateral Agent, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code; 

  

	 	(xiii)	any extension of credit or the grant of any lien or encumbrance under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; 

 

	 	(xiv)	any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; 

  

 107

	 	(xvi)	the avoidance of any lien or encumbrance in favor of the Collateral Agent for any reason; 

 

	 	(xvii)	any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any
discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any interest on all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or 

 

	 	(xviii)	any action taken by the Collateral Agent that is authorized by this Agreement or by any other provision of any Financing Document or any omission to take any such
action. 

 Section 9.04 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Collateral Agent on demand for all reasonable and reasonably documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and
reasonably documented fees of counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a
preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
 Section 9.05
Subrogation. 
 (a) To the extent of any payments made hereunder, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Senior Secured Parties, but the Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation shall be subordinate in right of payment to the rights of the Senior Secured Parties under the Financing Documents for which full payment has not been made
or provided for and, to that end, the Guarantor agrees not to claim or enforce any such right of subrogation or any right of set-off or any other right which may arise on account of any payment made by the Guarantor in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations owned or held by Persons other than the Guarantor and all other sums due or payable under the Financing Documents have been fully, finally and indefeasibly, paid and discharged.

  

 108 

 (b) If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at
any time prior to the indefeasible and unconditional payment, discharge or performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Financing Documents, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied upon and against the Guaranteed Obligations, to the extent then matured, in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents, or, to the extent not
then matured or existing, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral security for the Guaranteed Obligations. 

Section 9.06 Remedies. The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, any obligations of the
Loan Parties to the Senior Secured Parties under any of the Financing Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being
deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Loan Parties) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is
understood and agreed that any amount payable by the Guarantor pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is intended to be applied to the payment or prepayment (as the case may be) of the related obligations of the Loan Parties (whether or not
due and payable). Each of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement is separate and independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Guarantor agrees that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by the Collateral
Agent against the Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought by the Collateral Agent against the Loan Parties under any Financing Document or whether a Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions.

 Section 9.07 Continuing Guarantee. This guarantee is a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of
payment and performance and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising have been paid in full in cash and all obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been paid in full in cash.

 ARTICLE X 

THE AGENTS 

Section 10.01 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders (in its capacity as Lender) hereby irrevocably
appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Financing Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by
the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, together with such actions as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Agents, and the Lenders, and no Loan Party
or any other Person shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 (b) Each Lender (in its
capacity as Lender) hereby appoints WestLB as its Administrative Agent under and for purposes of each Financing Document to which it is a party. WestLB hereby accepts this appointment and agrees to act as the Administrative Agent for the Lenders in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each other Financing Document. Each Lender appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender, under each Financing Document to which it is a party and, in the absence of
other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Administrative Agent (with respect to which the Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.01 or
as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental
thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Financing Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Financing Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative
Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

(c) Each Senior Secured Party (in its capacity as Lender) hereby appoints WestLB as its Collateral Agent under and for purposes of each
Financing 
  

 110 

 
Document to which it is a party. WestLB hereby accepts this appointment and agrees to act as the Collateral Agent for the Senior Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
each other Financing Document. Each Senior Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Senior Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on
Collateral granted by any Loan Party to the Collateral Agent in order to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this respect the Collateral Agent, and any co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 10.05 (Delegation of Duties) for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)
granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and
Article XI (Miscellaneous Provisions) (including Section 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrowers), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Financing
Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Financing Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
set forth herein or in the other Financing Documents, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Senior Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into any Financing Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the
Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 Section 10.02 Rights as a
Lender. Each Person serving as Agent hereunder or under any other Financing Document 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 an Agent. Each 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 either Borrower or Affiliates of either Borrower as if such
Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or any other Agent. 
  

 111

 (c) If no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty (30) days after the date such notice
of resignation was given by such Agent or the Required Lenders elected to remove such Agent, any Lender may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any,

enter into this Agreement and make its Loans. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 Financing Document or any related agreement or

receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

notice to, either Borrower or any Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or either Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the 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 Borrowers, the Agents, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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

benefits of Sections 4.01 (Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful), 4.03 (Increased Eurodollar Loan Costs) and 4.05 (Funding Losses), to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to Section 11.03(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.14 (Right of Setoff) as though it were a Lender; provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.13 (Sharing of Payments) as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.01 (Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful) or 4.03 (Increased Eurodollar Loan Costs) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to

information; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consultant shall engage in such independent investigations or findings as it may from time to time deem necessary in its reasonable discretion to support the determinations and
evaluations required of it.

sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related expenses (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of:

  

	 	(i)	the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; 

  

 124 

	 	(ii)	any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds from such Loan; 

  

	 	(iii)	any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from property owned or operated by any Loan Party, or any
liability pursuant to an Environmental Law related in any way to any Loan Party, except for releases of Materials of Environmental Concern that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and Non-Appealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee; 

  

	 	(iv)	any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by any of the members or shareholders, as applicable, managers or creditors of a Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or
under any of the other Financing Documents is consummated, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; and/or 

 

	 	(v)	any claim, demand or liability for broker’s or finder’s or placement fees or similar commissions, whether or not payable by any Loan Party, alleged to have
been incurred in connection with such transactions, other than any broker’s or finder’s fees payable to Persons engaged by the Lenders or the Agents without the knowledge of any Loan Party; 

 

	 	(vi)	provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and Non-Appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 

 

 125 

 (b) To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount
required under Section 11.08(a) to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as
the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.08(b) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(d) (Borrowing of Loans). The obligations of the Lenders to make
payments pursuant to this Section 11.08(b) are several and not joint and shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make payments 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 do so. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Article VI (Conditions Precedent), all amounts due under this
Section 11.08 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. 

Section 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Financing Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Financing Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any 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 Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by
an 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 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. 

Section 11.10 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or any Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such
Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document 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, and provided under each other Financing Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
  

 126 

 Section 11.11 Notices and Other Communications. (a) Except in the case of
notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 11.11(b)), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or
overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier or electronic mail as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable
telephone number, as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	if to any Loan Party or any Agent, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on
Schedule 11.11; and 

  

	 	(ii)	if to any Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its administrative questionnaire.

 (b) Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be
deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business
on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 11.11(d) shall be effective as provided in Section 11.11(d). 

(c) Notices and other communications to the Lenders or any Agent hereunder may be delivered or 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 pursuant to Article II (Commitments and
Borrowing) if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article II (Commitments and Borrowing) by electronic communication. Each of the Administrative Agent or
the Borrowers may, in its or their 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. 
 (d) 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 

 

 127 

 
“return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not received
during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been received 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 Section 11.11(d)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and
identifying the website address therefor. 
 (e) Each of the Borrowers and the Agents may change its address, telecopier or
telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to each Borrower and
each Agent. 
 (f) The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any written notices purportedly given by or
on behalf of a 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. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, 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 such Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with any Agent may be recorded by such Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

(g) So long as WestLB is the Administrative Agent, each Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all
information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Financing Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other
information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to the Borrowing, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides
notice of any Default or Event of Default or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the Closing Date (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as
“Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to ny_agencyservices@westlb.com. In addition, the Borrowers agree to continue to provide the
Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in the Financing Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 128 

 (h) So long as WestLB is the Administrative Agent, each Borrower further agrees that the
Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on http: www.intralinks.com (or any replacement or successor thereto) or a substantially similar electronic transmission systems (the
“Platform”). 
 (i) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENTS DO
NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY
AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO EITHER BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR
ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF EITHER BORROWER’S OR ANY AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF
COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
 (j) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at
its e-mail address set forth in Schedule 11.11 shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Financing Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next
sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender, for purposes of the Financing Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in
writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

 

 129 

 (k) Notwithstanding clauses (g) to (j) above, nothing herein shall prejudice
the right of any Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Financing Document in any other manner specified in such Financing Document. 

Section 11.12 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each such Loan Party and other
information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify each such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

Section 11.13 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower is made to any Agent or
Lender, or any Agent or Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff 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 such Agent or Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Event 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 setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to each Agent upon demand its
applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by such 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. The obligations of the Lenders under Section 11.13(b) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 11.14 Right of Setoff. Each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time
held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the either Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement or any other Financing Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Financing Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this
Section 11.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of 
  

 130 

 
setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

Section 11.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing 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. 

Section 11.16 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Article V (Representations and
Warranties) and Section 11.06 (Costs and Expenses) and 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrowers) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made
hereunder and in any other Financing 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 each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default at the time of the Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

Section 11.17 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives for the sole purpose of
exercising such Agents’ or Lenders’ rights or performing such Agents’ or Lenders’ obligations under the Finance Documents (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 or required by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners or any other similar organization); (c) to the extent required by applicable Law 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 remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder (including any actual or 

 

 131 

 
prospective purchaser of Collateral); (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.17, to (i) any Eligible Assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual
counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrowers or (iii) any Person (and any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors)
that may enter into or support, directly or indirectly, or that may be considering entering into or supporting, directly or indirectly, either (A) contractual arrangements with such Agent or Lender, or any Affiliates thereof, pursuant to which
all or any portion of the risks, rights, benefits or obligations under or with respect to any Loan or Financing Document is transferred to such Person or (B) an actual or proposed securitization or collateralization of, or similar transaction
relating to, all or a part of any amounts payable to or for the benefit of any Lender under any Financing Document (including any rating agency); (g) with the consent of each Loan Party; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.17 or (ii) becomes available to any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan
Party; or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Party received by it from
such Lender). In addition, with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, any Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of
this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Commitments and a Borrowing. For the purposes of this Section 11.17, “Information” means written information that any Loan Party furnishes to any Agent or Lender after the
date hereof (and designated at the time of delivery thereof in writing as confidential) pursuant to or in connection with any Financing Document, relating to the assets and business of any Loan Party, but does not include any such information that
(i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach by such Agent or Lender of its obligations hereunder, (ii) is or becomes available to such Agent or Lender from a source other than the Loan Party that
is not, to the knowledge of such Agent or Lender, acting in violation of a confidentiality obligation with the Borrowers or (iii) is independently compiled by any Agent or Lender, as evidenced by their records, without the use of the
Information. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.17 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. 
  

 132 

 Section 11.18 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, each Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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 Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No
Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 Section 11.19 Waiver
of Litigation Payments. To the extent that any Loan Party may, in any action, suit or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to in Section 11.02(b) (Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.) or elsewhere arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document to which it is a party, be entitled to the benefit of any provision of Law requiring any Lender or any Agent in such action, suit or proceeding to post security for the costs of such
Person or to post a bond or to take similar action, each such Person hereby irrevocably waives such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or in the future permitted under the laws of New York or, as the case may be, the jurisdiction in
which such court is located.
