Standby Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) require the Issuing Bank that issued such Standby Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary named in such Standby Letter of Credit notice of any Notice of Termination, (y)
permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Standby Letter of Credit prior to the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would have been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after giving
effect to any renewal) of such Standby Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than 60 days before the Termination Date. If either a Notice of Renewal is not given by the Borrower or a Notice of Termination is given by the
relevant Issuing Bank pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Standby Letter of Credit shall expire on the date on which it otherwise would have been automatically renewed; provided, however, that even in the absence of receipt
of a Notice of Renewal the relevant Issuing Bank may in its discretion, unless instructed to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, deem that a Notice of Renewal had been timely delivered and in such case, a Notice of Renewal
shall be deemed to have been so delivered for all purposes under this Agreement. Each Standby Letter of Credit shall contain a provision authorizing the Issuing Bank that 

  

 26 

 
issued such Letter of Credit to deliver to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a
notice (a “Default Termination Notice”) terminating such Letter of Credit and giving such beneficiary 15 days to draw such Letter of Credit. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits
referred to above, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and request the issuance of additional
Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b). 
  
 (c) The Swing
Line Advances. The Borrower may request the Swing Line Bank to make, and the Swing Line Bank agrees to make, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Swing Line Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the date hereof until the Termination Date (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding $5,000,000 (the “Swing Line Facility”) and (ii) in an amount for each such Swing Line Borrowing not to
exceed the aggregate of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time. No Swing Line Advance shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Advance. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be
in an amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and shall be made as a Base Rate Advance. Within the limits of the Swing Line Facility and within the limits referred to in clause (ii) above, the Borrower may borrow
under this Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c). 
  
 SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) shall be
made on notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the date one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex
or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier or e-mail, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto,
specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest
Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances and 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing
in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable
portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the
Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of
any Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances made by the Swing Line Bank or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of
such date, available to the Swing Line Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances. 
  
 (b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of
the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed
immediately in writing or by telecopier or 
  

 27 

 
e-mail, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which
maturity shall be no later than the earlier of (A) the seventh day after the requested date of such Borrowing and (B) the Termination Date). The Swing Line Bank shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Swing Line Borrowing,
make the amount thereof available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account. Upon written demand by the Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender
shall purchase from the Swing Line Bank, and the Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Lender, such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making available for
the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal
amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance on (i) the Business Day on which
demand therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such
demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that the Swing Line Bank is the legal and
beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any Lender
shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of
demand by the Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day,
such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank
shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. 
  
 (c)
Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the initial Borrowing hereunder or for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000 or
if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii), 2.09 or 2.10 and (ii) there may not be more than 10 separate Borrowings outstanding at any time. 
  
 (d) Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred
by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred
by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

  
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to (x) the date of any Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 Noon (New York 

  

 28 

 
City time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02
and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until
the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the
Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes. 
  
 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of
any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such
other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
  
 SECTION 2.03.
Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) Request for Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to
the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, which shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex, telecopier or e-mail or by means of the Platform. Each such
notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, telex, telecopier or e-mail, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance
(which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iii) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be
accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If (y) the
requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (z) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the
provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to each Lender on the first Business Day of each month a written report
summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) to the Administrative Agent and
each Lender on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. 
  
 (c) Letter of Credit Participations; Drawing and Reimbursement. (i)
Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender (in its capacity under this Section 2.03(c), a
“Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the 

  

 29 

 
Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, to the extent of such Participant’s Pro
Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any
change in the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares pursuant to Section 9.07, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unpaid drawings relating thereto, there shall be an
automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Lenders, as the case may be. 
  
 (ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation with respect
to the other Revolving Credit Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of
such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any
Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
judgment) 
  
 (iii) The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft
drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. In the event that the Issuing Bank
makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall
promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed
payment in U.S. dollars and in same day funds. Upon such notification by the Administrative Agent to any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which made such Advance, provided that notice of such demand is given not
later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the
account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount
of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at
the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. 
  
 (iv) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Issuing Bank shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each such Participant that has paid its Pro Rata Share thereof, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such
Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations. 
  

 30 

 (d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of
Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date. 
  
 SECTION 2.04. Repayment of Advances. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding. 
  
 (b) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of (i) the Swing Line Bank and (ii) each other
Lender that has made a Swing Line Advance by purchase from the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(b), the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each of them on the earlier of the maturity date specified in the
applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the seventh day after the requested date of such Swing Line Borrowing) and the Termination Date. 
  
 (c) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Issuing Bank and each other Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the same day on which such Advance was made the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them. 
  
 (ii) The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect thereto) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: 
  
 (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan
Document, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”); 
  
 (B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of,
or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents; 
  
 (C) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction; 
  
 (D) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  

 31 

 (E) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 
  
 (F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from the Guaranties or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or 
  
 (G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any
other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor, 
  
 provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, an Issuing Bank shall not be relieved of any liability it may otherwise have as a result of its gross negligence or
willfull misconduct. 
  
 SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction
of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Swing Line Facility, the Letter of Credit
Facility and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of a Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (or in the case of the Swing Line Facility, $250,000) or an integral multiple
of $250,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Facility. 
  
 (b) Mandatory. (i) The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving
Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility. 
  
 (ii) The Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time
on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Swing Line Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

  
 SECTION 2.06. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The
Borrower may, upon same day notice in the case of Base Rate Advances and two Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the
prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such
prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the amount of
the Advances outstanding and (ii) if any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings, the Swing Line Advances and the Letter of Credit Advances and deposit an amount in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the

Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds (B) the lesser of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Total Loan Value on such Business Day. 
  

 32 

 (ii) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the L/C
Cash Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to equal the amount by which the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds the Letter of
Credit Facility on such Business Day. 
  
 (iii) Prepayments of the
Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be first applied to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second applied to prepay Swing Line Advances then
outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, third applied to prepay Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding comprising part of the same Borrowings until such Advances are paid in full and fourth deposited in the L/C Cash

to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank or Lenders, as applicable. 
  
 (iv) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.

 33 

 (c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing
pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the
Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, and the applicable rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for
the purpose of determining the applicable interest rate under clause (a)(ii) above. 
  
 (d) Interest Rate Determination. (i) Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurodollar Rate. If any one or more of the Reference
Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the
remaining Reference Banks. 
  
 (ii) If Telerate Page 3750 is
unavailable and fewer than two Reference Banks are able to furnish timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances, 
  
 (A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate
cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, 
  
 (B) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate
Advance), and 
  
 (C) the obligation of the
Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
  
 SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”), from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and
Acceptance or the Assumption Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date, payable in arrears on the date of the initial Borrowing hereunder, and thereafter quarterly
on the last day of each December, March, June and September, commencing December 31, 2004, and on the Termination Date. The Unused Fee payable for the account of each Lender shall be calculated for each period for which the Unused Fee is payable on

shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 0.125% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit, payable on such date and 
  

 34 

 (B) such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or
administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree. For the avoidance of doubt, the extension or renewal of an issued Letter of Credit shall not require the payment of additional fees or charges. 
  
 (c) Agents’ Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each Agent for its
own account the fees, in the amounts and on the dates, set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and such Agent. 
  
 (d) Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the Extension Date, for the account of each
Lender, a Facility extension fee, in an amount equal to 0.25% of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then outstanding. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not
later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same
Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion
of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and
each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions
specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall
be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 
  
 (b)
Mandatory. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically
Convert into Base Rate Advances. 
  
 (ii) If the Borrower shall
fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the
Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance. 
  
 (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (y) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will
automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (z) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. 
  
 SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) adopted or made
after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of
Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased 
  

 35 

 costs resulting from (y) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (z) changes in the basis of
taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof),
then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

  
 (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any
law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or
any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other
commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances,
to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or
maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders
notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii)
the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension
no longer exist. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if after the date of this Agreement the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender
to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such
Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and 
  

 36 

 legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation
would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 SECTION 2.11. Payments and
Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13), not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the
day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the
Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such
payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.17 and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained
therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to such Assuming Lender.
Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall
make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for
periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. 
  
 (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to
charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party any amount so due. 
  

(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the
next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 
  

 37 

 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
  
 (f) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all
amounts due and payable to the Agents and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lender
Parties in the following order of priority: 
  
 (i) first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Agents (solely in their respective capacities as Agents) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Agents on such date; 
  
 (ii) second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are
due and payable to the Issuing Banks (solely in their respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees,
indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Banks on such date; 
  
 (iii) third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders
under Section 9.04, Section 20 of the Security Agreement and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to
the Lenders on such date; 
  
 (iv) fourth,
to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent
and the Lender Parties on such date; 
  
 (v)
fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a), (b)(i) and (d) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facilities on such date;

  
 (vi) sixth, to the payment of all of
the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the
respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date; 
  

 38 

 (vii) seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the
Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties
on such date; 
  
 (viii) eighth, to the
payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances and any reimbursement obligations that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all
such principal and reimbursement obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, and to deposit into the L/C Cash Collateral Account any contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of
Credit to the extent required by Section 6.02; and 
  
 (ix) ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based
upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date. 
  
 SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11,
free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and the
Administrative Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise or other similar taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction
under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise or
other similar taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Note to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
the Borrower shall make all such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp,
documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), provided that each Lender Party will, upon request of the Borrower (such request not to be unduly burdensome to such
Lender Party and with respect to information concerning such Lender Party), provide information necessary to avoid the imposition of such Other Taxes. Nothing herein shall oblige a Lender Party to disclose any information that it reasonably
considers to be confidential. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify
each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of 
  

 39 

 taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such
Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date
such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section
9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment
hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are
payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes.
For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

  
 (e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender
Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W8-ECI or W8-BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate
of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If the forms provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax
rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only
shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender
Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.12 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding
taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection
(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W8-ECI or W8-BEN, that the applicable Lender Party reasonably
considers to be confidential, such Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. Upon the request of the Borrower, any Lender that is a United
States person and is not an exempt recipient for U.S. backup withholding purposes shall deliver to the Borrower two copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 (or any successor form). 
  
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form
described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above),
such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the 
  

 40 

 United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes. 
  
 (g) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender Party. 
  
 (h) If any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent receives a refund
(including if such refund is not actually received but is applied against other Tax or Other Tax obligations owed by such Lender Party or Administrative Agent to the same taxing authority) of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower or for which
the Borrower has indemnified any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any expenses incurred by
such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower within 30 days of the receipt of such Taxes or Other Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of
any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by
the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc.
If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due
and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all
the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing
(but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating
interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the
extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such
Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be. 
  

 41 

 SECTION 2.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit
shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, for Asset acquisitions, to refinance certain Existing Debt secured by
mortgage liens (as more particularly set forth in the Registration Statement), and to pay fees and expenses related to the Facilities and the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other
evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the Borrower shall promptly execute
and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender
Party. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. 
  
 (b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each
Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms
of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received
by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof. 
  
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or
accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the
case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is
incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 2.16. Extension of Termination Date. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower, by written
notice to the Administrative Agent, may request, with respect to the Commitments then outstanding, a single one-year extension of the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and the Termination
Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the Termination Date (the “Extension Date”), be extended for an additional one year period; provided that on the Extension Date, the following statements shall be true
and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated the Extension Date, stating that: (x) the representations and warranties contained in
Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Date, and (y) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would 
  

 42 

 result from such extension. In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate
principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the Termination Date as so extended. As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any of the other Loan Documents to the
“Termination Date” shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended. 
  
 SECTION 2.17. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time (but no more than once in any consecutive 12-month period), by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an
increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by not less than $5,000,000 (each such proposed increase, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the
scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at
any time exceed $225,000,000, (ii) in no event shall the Borrower submit more than four separate requests for a Commitment Increase hereunder, and (iii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase
Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii)
the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender
that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the
amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment (the “Proposed Increased Commitment”). If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an
aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated to each Lender willing to participate therein in an amount equal to the Commitment Increase multiplied by the ratio
of each Lender’s Proposed Commitment to the aggregate amount of Proposed Commitments. 
  
 (c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the
aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees

of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 (d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.17(c) (an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this

Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.17(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each
Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with
respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. 
  
 (e) On the Increase Date, each Assuming Lender and each Increasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed
to have purchased an assignment from each Lender that is not an Assuming Lender or an Increasing Lender (an “Other Lender”) of a portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to such Other Lender under this Agreement in
an amount equal to (x) with respect to each Assuming Lender, (1) such Assuming Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Credit Facility on the Increase Date) of all Advances
owed to such Other Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Credit Facility on the Increase Date, and (y) with respect to each Increasing Lender, the product of (1) the ratio, expressed as a percentage, obtained
by dividing (A) the amount by which such Increasing Lender’s Commitment is increasing on the Increase Date by (B) the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility immediately following the increase thereof effected on the Increase Date,
multiplied by, (2) all Advances owed to such Other Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Credit Facility on the Increase Date. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each
Assuming Lender and Increasing Lender and received by each Other Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Increase Date. Each Assuming Lender and Increasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to
the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the Increase Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each

cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its property and (ii) all lawful claims that, if unpaid,

amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which such Loan Party or such Subsidiaries operate. 
  
 (e) Preservation of Partnership or Corporate Existence,
Etc. Preserve and maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, its existence (corporate or otherwise), rights (charter and statutory), permits, licenses, approvals and franchises except, in the case of Subsidiaries of
the Borrower only, if in the reasonably business judgment of such Subsidiary it is in its best economic interest not to preserve and maintain such rights or franchises and such failure to preserve such rights or franchises is not reasonably likely
to result in a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that the foregoing shall not prohibit, or be violated as a result of, any transactions by or involving any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof otherwise permitted under Section 5.02(c) or (d)
below).

Guaranty Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, or such other guaranty supplement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, guaranteeing the other Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents,
provided that upon the formation or acquisition of any Limited Subsidiary, each such Limited Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Excluded Subsidiary and each such loan agreement or indenture or other material agreement that restricts such
Limited Subsidiary from providing guarantees of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be an Excluded Subsidiary Agreement, and the Borrower shall, or cause such Limited Subsidiary to, promptly deliver to the

pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; provided, however, that any such judgment or order shall not give rise to an Event of Default under this Section 6.01(g) if and so long as (A) the amount of such judgment or order
which remains unsatisfied is covered by a valid and binding policy of insurance between the respective Loan Party and the insurer covering full payment of such unsatisfied amount and (B) such insurer, which shall be rated at least “A” by

 73 

 (j) Security Failure. Any Collateral Document or financing statement after

 then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice
to the Borrower, declare the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Advances by a
Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(b)) and of each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, (A) by notice to
the Borrower, declare the Notes, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be

Letter of Credit is issued, request that all Obligations under such agreement be declared to be due and payable and (C) by notice to each Issuing Bank, direct such Issuing Bank to deliver a Default Termination Notice to the beneficiary of each
Letter of Credit issued by it, and each Issuing Bank shall deliver such Default Termination Notices; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under any Bankruptcy
Law, (y) the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Advances by a Lender pursuant to
Section 2.02(b)) and of each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (z) the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest
or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 6.02. Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required
Lenders, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 6.01 or otherwise, make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender
Parties in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding. If at any
time the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties with respect to the
Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the
Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash
Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, such funds
shall be applied to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank or Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 ARTICLE VII 
 GUARANTY 
  
 SECTION 7.01.
Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by
acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such
Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in
enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and
would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving
such other Loan Party. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection. 
  
 (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party and, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all
such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act
or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the other
Lender Parties and, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as
will result in the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  
 (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured
Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Subsidiary Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid
to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 7.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under or in
respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of this Agreement or the other the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against each Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or 
  

 75 

 any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents,
or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
  
 (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets
of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (f) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the
business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party (each Subsidiary Guarantor waiving any duty on the
part of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to disclose such information); 
  
 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter
defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 
  
 (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation,
any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor
or surety. 
  
 This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
  
 SECTION 7.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand 
  

 76 

 for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect
to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
against any Loan Party or any other Person or any collateral. 
  
 (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right (including without limitation any such right arising under California Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty
is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
  
 (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any and all rights and defenses available to it by reason of Sections 2787
to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code, including without limitation any and all rights or defenses such Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the principal with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or to any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any of such guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty, in either case pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or
discharging the principal’s indebtedness or such guarantor’s obligations, including without limitation Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, (ii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense
based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification
rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor or other rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral and (iii) any defense based on any right of set-off or
counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph. As
provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that
any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
  
 (d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Subsidiary Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against
any Loan Party or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute
(including without limitation under California Civil Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may
hereafter have against any such Loan Party, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Loan Party, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate
in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. 
  
 (e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Subsidiary Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Subsidiary Guarantor of any deficiency after
such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by Sections 580a and 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any statute or law in any other jurisdiction having similar effect. 
  

 77 

 (f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to such Subsidiary Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party. 
  
 (g) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 7.02 and this Section 7.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
  
 SECTION 7.04. Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise
any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations under
or in respect of this Guaranty, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of
any Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right,
unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, all Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired
or been terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in
cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) the Termination Date and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all Secured Hedge Agreements, such amount shall be
received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. If (i) any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the
Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit and all Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties will, at such Subsidiary Guarantor’s request and
expense, execute and deliver to such Subsidiary Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Subsidiary Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty. 
  
 SECTION 7.05. Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a Guaranty Supplement, (i) such Person shall be referred to as
an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to
such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (ii) each reference herein to “this Agreement”, “this
Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement and this Guaranty, and each 
  

 78 

 reference in any other Loan Document to the “Loan Agreement”, “Guaranty”, “thereunder”,
“thereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement and this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement and this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement. 
  
 SECTION 7.06. Indemnification by Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) Without
limitation on any other Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties under this Agreement, this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each other Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms.

  
 (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of
the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents
and advisors, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the
Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 7.07. Subordination. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other
Obligations owed to such Subsidiary Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.07. 
  
 (a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a
Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Subsidiary Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments or payments made in the ordinary course of business
from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan
Party), however, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations. 
  
 (b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under
any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the
commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Subsidiary Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated
Obligations. 
  
 (c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect,
enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest),
together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. 
  

 79 

 (d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in
the name of each Subsidiary Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and
(ii) to require each Subsidiary Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed
Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest). 
  
 SECTION 7.08. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all Secured Hedge Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Subsidiary Guarantors, their successors and assigns and (c)
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE AGENTS

  
 SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action; Appointment of
Supplemental Collateral Agents. (a) Each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender, the Swing Line Bank (if applicable) and as an Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints
and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), no Agent shall be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon
all Lender Parties and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Each Agent agrees to
give to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person identified as a syndication agent, documentation
agent, senior manager, joint lead arranger or joint book running manager, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under any of such Loan
Documents. Each of the Secured Parties hereby consents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent entering into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Secured Parties. 
  
 (b) Anything contained herein or in the Collateral Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from
time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents or collateral subagents (each, a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any
part of the Collateral. In the event that the 
  

 80 

 Collateral Agent so appoints any Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) such Supplemental
Collateral Agent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents with respect to such Collateral; (ii) such
Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be an “Agent” for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 20 of the Security Agreement, this Article and Section 9.04 hereof that refer to the
Agents (or either of them) shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and all references therein and in the other Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such
Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require; and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein or in any applicable Collateral Document in relation to the Liens on or security interests in such Collateral granted in
favor of the Collateral Agent, and any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall be deemed to include such Supplemental Collateral Agent; provided, however, that no such
Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or
any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirming to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the
Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable
of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new
Supplemental Collateral Agent. 
  
 SECTION 8.02. Agents’
Reliance, Etc. Neither any Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (a) in the case of the Administrative Agent, may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and
accepts an Assumption Agreement entered into by an Assuming Lender as provided in Section 2.17 or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, or, in the
case of any other Agent, such Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent that it has received and accepted such Assumption Agreement or Assignment and Acceptance, as the case may be, in each case as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice
of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in
connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the
existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex or other electronic communication) believed by it
to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
  

 81 

 SECTION 8.03. CNAI and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and
the Notes issued to it, CNAI shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent; and the term “Lender
Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include CNAI in its individual capacity. CNAI and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment
banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if CNAI were not
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties. 
  
 SECTION 8.04. Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any
other Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 8.05.
Indemnification by Lender Parties. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below)
of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from any Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by
a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified
Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person. 
  
 (b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender
Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. 
  

 82 

 (c) For purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount
shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse any Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of
any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share
of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and
all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 8.06. Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required
Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it has been replaced as Collateral Agent and it (or its Affiliate) has been replaced as an Issuing Bank and released from all obligations in
respect thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which appointment shall, provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the
Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice
of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of
any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and which appointment shall, provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, and, in the case of a successor Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto,
and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages and Assignments of Leases, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted
or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such
appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required
Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder
as an Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 SECTION 9.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (or, in the case of 
  

 83 

 the Collateral Documents, consented to) by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders, do any of the following at any time: (i) waive any of
the conditions specified in Section 3.01 or, in the case of the Initial Extension of Credit, Section 3.02, (ii) change the number of Lenders or the percentage of (x) the Commitments, (y) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances or (z)

obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Article VII or release such Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise limit such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) release any individual Borrowing Base Asset
(except in connection with a Transfer permitted under Section 5.02(d)(ii)(C)) or all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case in any transaction or series of related transactions, or permit the creation, incurrence, assumption or
existence of any Lien on any individual Borrowing Base Asset or all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case in any transaction or series of related transactions, to secure any Obligations other than Obligations owing to the Secured
Parties under the Loan Documents, (v) amend this Section 9.01, (vi) increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations, (vii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts
payable hereunder, (viii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or amend Section 2.06, (ix) limit the liability of any Loan Party under any of the Loan
Documents, (x) amend, waive or permit any departure from the provision in Section 5.01(j)(iii)(A) that permits the Required Lenders to consent to the addition of a Proposed Borrowing Base Asset notwithstanding the failure of such Asset to satisfy
certain requirements, or (xi) amend Section 2.16 or otherwise extend the Termination Date, other than as provided in Section 2.16 in accordance with its terms; provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Swing Line Bank or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or obligations of the Swing Line Bank or of the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, under this
Agreement; and provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Without any limitation to the foregoing, the Borrower shall be required to obtain such consents as may be required under Section 5.7 of
Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable.

Party, any of their Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lender Parties by
posting such notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily
secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants
the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including,
without limitation, 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 Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection
with the Platform.

for purposes of this Agreement, provided that if requested by any Lender Party, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender Party by e-mail or telecopier. Each Lender Party agrees (i) to notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender Party’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender Party) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
  
 SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any
Lender Party or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  

 85 

 SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on
demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence,
collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent with respect thereto
(subject to the terms of the Fee Letter with respect to counsel fees incurred by the Administrative Agent through the Closing Date) with respect to advising such Agent as to its rights and responsibilities (including, without limitation, with
respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post-closing basis), or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with
any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or
monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent with respect to the preparation,
execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(j)) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto). 
  
 (b) Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection
with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances
or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials that could reasonably be expected to require action or result in claims pursuant to any
Environmental Law on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found
in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the
indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not
any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated. Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent, any Lender Party or any of their
Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
  
 (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other
than on the last day of the Interest 
  

 86 

 Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i), 2.10(d) or 2.17(e),
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be
made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party
any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without
limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance but excluding any loss of anticipated profits. 
  
 (d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other
amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by any Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion. 
  
 (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan
Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal,
interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize
the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender
Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. If such deposits are not pledged pursuant to a valid security agreement, the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be obtained before any right of set off shall be exercised. Each Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower or such Loan Party after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have. 
  
 SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor
named on the signature pages hereto and each Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender and each Initial Issuing Bank that such Initial Lender or such Initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, has executed it
and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the
Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender Parties. 
  

 87 

 SECTION 9.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however,
that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of one or more of the Facilities, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to
such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such
Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 under each Facility or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Borrower), (iii) each such assignment shall be to
an Eligible Assignee, (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender and so long as no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each assignment shall be made with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (v) no such assignments shall be permitted (A) until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the
Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and (B) at any other time without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment
and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. 
  
 (b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under
Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). 
  
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender
Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender
Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and 
  

 88 

 Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning
Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms
that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment
and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form
of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Agent. In the case of any assignment by a Lender,
within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to
the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a new Note to
the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes,
shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. 
  
 (f) Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter
of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was an Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that such fee shall not be payable if the assigning
Issuing Bank is making such assignment simultaneously with the assignment in its capacity as a Lender of all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment to the same Eligible Assignee. 
  

 89 

 (g) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan Party or any of
its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided,
however, that (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan

 SECTION 2.02. Making the Term Advances. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the
third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed

 (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select
Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing made on the Closing Date or for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended

made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the

Conversion, (ii) the Term Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Term Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower. 
  
 (b) Mandatory. (i) On the date on which the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Term Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

  
 (ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon
each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance. 
  
 (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (y) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (z) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Term Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) adopted or made
after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding, for purposes of this 
  

 24 

 Section 2.09, any such increased costs resulting from (y) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.11 shall govern)
and (z) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any
political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.09(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

  
 (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or
regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type
or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines
such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest
Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders,
whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Term Advances into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date
of this Agreement the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar
Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Term Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to
use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the 
  

 25 

 making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its
obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 SECTION 2.10. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make
each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12), not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will
promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender, to such
Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then
payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the
information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest
assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. 
  
 (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender and each of its Affiliates, if
and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the
Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due. 
  
 (c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal
Funds Rate and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest,
fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be;
provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 

 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on
such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand 
  

 26 

 such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
  
 (f) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all
amounts due and payable to the Agents and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lenders in the
following order of priority: 
  
 (i)
first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Agents (solely in their respective capacities as Agents) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Agents on such date; 
  
 (ii) second, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due
and payable to the Lenders under Section 9.04, Section 14 of the Security Agreement and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments,
costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date; 
  
 (iii) third, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Sections 2.09 and 2.11 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date; 
  
 (iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section
2.06(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date; 
  

(v) fifth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Advances that is due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 2.06(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date; 
  
 (vi) sixth, to the payment of the principal amount of
all of the outstanding Term Advances that are due and payable to the Lenders on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal the Lenders on such date; and 
  
 (vii) seventh, to the payment of all other
Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such
Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date. 
  
 SECTION 2.11. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes that are 
  

 27 

 imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and
franchise or other similar taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of
each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise or other similar taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof
(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required
by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11) such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future
stamp, documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), provided that each Lender will, upon request of the Borrower (such request not to be unduly burdensome
to such Lender and with respect to information concerning such Lender), provide information necessary to avoid the imposition of such Other Taxes. Nothing herein shall oblige a Lender to disclose any information that it reasonably considers to be
confidential. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and
the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.11, imposed on or paid by such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower
through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall
cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.11, the
terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 (e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in
writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W8-ECI or W8-BEN, as 
  

 28 

 appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is
exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If the forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United
States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax
at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.11 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition
to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this
subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W8-ECI or W8-BEN, that the applicable Lender reasonably
considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. Upon the request of the Borrower, any Lender that is a United States
person and is not an exempt recipient for U.S. backup withholding purposes shall deliver to the Borrower two copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 (or any successor form). 
  
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in
subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender
shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.11 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of
its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. 
  
 (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 agrees to use reasonable efforts
(consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 (h) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund (including if such refund is not actually received but is applied against other Tax or
Other Tax obligations owed by such Lender or Administrative Agent to the same taxing authority) of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower or for which the Borrower has indemnified any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
pursuant to this Section 2.11, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any expenses incurred by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower within 30 days of the receipt of such Taxes
or Other Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have
any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 2.12. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of
any right of set-off, or otherwise, other 
  

 29 

 than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender
hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable
to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) on account of Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time
obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to
cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender
shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate
purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) 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 Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from
another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if
such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 2.13. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds)
solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, for Asset acquisitions, to refinance certain Existing Debt secured by mortgage liens (as more particularly set forth in the Registration Statement), and to pay fees and
expenses related to the Term Facility and the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 2.14. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees
that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether
for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Term Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form
of Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Term Commitment of such Lender. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. 
  
 (b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Term Advances comprising such Borrowing
and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any 
  

 30 

 principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv)
the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof. 
  
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts
pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such
account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such
account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

 ARTICLE VII 
 GUARANTY 
  
 SECTION 7.01. Guaranty; Limitation
of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all
Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the
foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed
Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party
under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. This Guaranty is a guaranty of
payment and not merely of collection. 
  
 (b) Each Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent and each other Lender and, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this
Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, the other Secured Parties hereby
irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance. 
  
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other
Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 
  

 57 

 SECTION 7.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be
paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of this
Agreement or the other the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or
whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives
any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of,
or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document,
including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
  
 (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any
collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
  

(d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or
other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the
corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (f) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the
business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the
Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to disclose such information); 
  
 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter
defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 
  
 (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of
or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. 
  

 58 

 This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not
been made. 
  
 SECTION 7.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments.
(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect
to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
against any Loan Party or any other Person or any collateral. 
  
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right (including without limitation any such right arising under California Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is
continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
  
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any and all rights and defenses available to it by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855,
inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code, including without limitation any and all rights or defenses such Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the principal with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or to any
other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any of such guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty, in either case pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the
principal’s indebtedness or such guarantor’s obligations, including without limitation Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, (ii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an
election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such
Guarantor, or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral and (iii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the
Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph. As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law
are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
  
 (d) Each Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Loan Party or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the
performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute (including without limitation under California Civil Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under
common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any such Loan Party, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in,
any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Loan Party, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. 
  

 59 

 (e) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such
Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by Sections 580a and 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any statute or law in any other jurisdiction having
similar effect. 
  
 (f) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties
or prospects of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party. 
  

(g) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 7.02 and this Section 7.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
  
 SECTION 7.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights
that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this
Guaranty, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party
against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or
receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until

under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated, the Administrative Agent

 SECTION 7.06. Indemnification by Guarantors (a) Without
limitation on any other Obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties under this Agreement, this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each other Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms.

  
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of the
Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors,
and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Term Facility, the actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Advances, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 7.07. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each
other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.07. 
  
 (a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a Default (including the commencement and continuation
of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments or payments made in the ordinary course of business from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated
Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise
agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations. 
  
 (b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees
that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an
allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations. 
  

 61 

 (c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the
commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated
Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of
transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. 
  
 (d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation
of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce,
and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and
to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

 ARTICLE VIII

 THE AGENTS 
  
 SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action; Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agents. (a) Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender and on behalf
of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated
to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or
collection of the Notes), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to
this Agreement or applicable law. Each Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person
identified as a syndication agent, documentation agent, senior manager, joint lead arranger or joint book running manager, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or
any other Secured Party under any of such Loan Documents. Each of the Secured Parties hereby consents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent entering into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Secured Parties. 
  
 (b) Anything contained herein or in the Collateral Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents or collateral subagents (each, a 
  

 62 

 “Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event
that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents with respect to such Collateral; (ii) such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be an “Agent” for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the provisions of Section 14 of the Security Agreement, this Article and Section 9.04 hereof that refer to the Agents (or either of them) shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and all references therein and
in the other Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require; and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein or
in any applicable Collateral Document in relation to the Liens on or security interests in such Collateral granted in favor of the Collateral Agent, and any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to
such Collateral, shall be deemed to include such Supplemental Collateral Agent; provided, however, that no such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the
extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent to more fully or
certainly vest in and confirming to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon
request by the Collateral Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the
extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent. 
  
 SECTION 8.02. Agents’ Reliance, Etc. Neither any Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (a) in the case of the
Administrative Agent, may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible
Assignee, as assignee, or, in the case of any other Agent, such Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent that it has received and accepted such Assignment and Acceptance as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents;
(d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default
under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or
the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or
in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex or other electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the
proper party or parties. 
  

 63 

 SECTION 8.03. CNAI and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Term Advances made by it
and the Notes issued to it, CNAI shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent; and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include CNAI in its individual capacity. CNAI and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from
and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if CNAI were not the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
  
 SECTION 8.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section
4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 8.05. Indemnification by Lenders. (a) Each Lender severally
agrees to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by
such Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from any Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Agent is not
promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is
brought by any Lender or any other Person.  
  
 (b) For
purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Term Commitments at such time. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent promptly upon
demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and
obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 8.06. Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by
giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be
effective until it has been replaced as Collateral Agent and released from all obligations 
  

 64 

 in respect thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent, which appointment shall, provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of
the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and which appointment shall, provided
that no Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, and, in the case
of a successor Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in
order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor
Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under
this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 SECTION 9.01. Amendments, Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document, nor consent
to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (or, in the case of the Collateral Documents, consented to) by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders, do any of the following at any time:
(i) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, (ii) change the number of Lenders or the percentage of (x) the Commitments or (y) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Advances that, in each case, shall be

Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, or permit the creation, incurrence, assumption or existence of any
Lien on all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions to secure any Obligations other than Obligations owing to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, (v) amend this Section 9.01, (vi)
increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations, (vii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (viii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or amend Section 2.05, or (ix) limit the liability of any Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents; provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Without any limitation to the foregoing, the Borrower shall be required to obtain such consents as may be required under Section 5.7 of the Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable.

such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties and, as to each other party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telecopied, telegraphed or e-mailed, be effective when deposited in the mails, telecopied, delivered to the telegraph company or confirmed by e-mail, respectively, except that notices
and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II, III or VIII or to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart thereof. 
  
 (b) So long as CNAI is the Administrative
Agent, materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(a), (b), (c) and (e) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at
oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Borrower, any Loan Party, any of their
Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on
Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are
confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or
completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability 
  

 66 

 for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory,
including, without limitation, 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 Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
connection with the Platform. 
  
 (c) Each Lender agrees that
notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such
Lender for purposes of this Agreement, provided that if requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or telecopier. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative
Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
  
 SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  
 SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance,
consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent with respect thereto (subject to the terms of the Fee Letter with respect to counsel fees incurred by the Administrative Agent
through the Closing Date) with respect to advising such Agent as to its rights and responsibilities (including, without limitation, with respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post-closing
basis), or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default
or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and
any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(j))
and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or
litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent and each Lender with respect thereto).

  
 (b) Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and
hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or
asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in
connection therewith) (i) the Term Facility, the 
  

 67 

 actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Advances, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials that could reasonably be expected to require action or result in claims pursuant to any Environmental Law on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any
Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or
not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated. Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Term Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Advances, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
  
 (c) If any payment of
principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section
2.05, 2.08(b)(i) or 2.09(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of a Term Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or
that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.05 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be,
including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Term Advance but excluding any loss of anticipated profits.

  
 (d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs,
expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by any Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.

  
 (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of
principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the
granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time
owing by such Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan
Documents, irrespective of 
  

 68 

 whether such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such
obligations may be unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower or such Loan Party after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent,
such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have. 
  
 SECTION
9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and each Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each
Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors
and assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders. 
  
 SECTION 9.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may
assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Term Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held
by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of the Term Facility, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that,
immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being
assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $1,000,000 under the Term Facility or an integral multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Borrower), (iii) each such
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender and so long as no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each assignment shall be made with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (v) no such assignments shall be permitted (A) until the Administrative Agent shall
have notified the Lenders that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and (B) at any other time without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to
such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 in connection with secondary assignments and participations only. 
  
 (b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after
the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other
than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
  

 69 

 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder and each
assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of
any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
(iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address
referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment under the Term Facility of, and principal amount of
the Term Advances owing under the Term Facility to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and
each other Agent. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under the Term Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has
retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

 (f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan Party or any of its
Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Term Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided,

such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or substantially all of the
Collateral and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender was entitled to payments under Section 2.11(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include

confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender. 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the

accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of
Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Document in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 9.11. Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the
Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (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 such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot
Act. The Parent Guarantor and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any
Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
