 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	 New Lenders. Each New Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement

respect of the Additional Commitments, and each such New Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Existing Lender’s participations under the Loan Documents in outstanding Letters of Credit
such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations under the Loan Documents in Letters of Credit held by such New Lender in respect of its
Additional Commitments will equal the percentage of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders represented by such New Lender’s Additional Commitment (with such existing participation in such Letters of Credits by Existing Lenders to be assigned
on a pro rata basis to such New Lenders determined on a Letter of Credit by Letter of Credit basis) and (2) if, on such date, there are any Loans outstanding, each of the Existing Lenders shall be deemed to assign to each of the New Lenders,

made on a pro rata basis to such New Lenders determined on a Loan by Loan basis) and, in connection with the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) the Existing Lenders and the New Lenders will make adjustments among themselves, and payments to each
other as needed, with respect to participations under the Loan Documents in outstanding Letters of Credit, outstanding Loans and interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion

Additional Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement

be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of

different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The words “execute”, “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words

 7 

	 	
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and
as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.

ARTICLE II 
 THE
COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
 Section 2.01 Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing and the application by the Administrative Agent of the proceeds thereof,
(i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Facility Limit and (ii) the Aggregate Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed the lesser of such Lender’s (A) Commitment and (B) Applicable Percentage of the Facility Limit.
Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow
under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

Section 2.02 Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans. 

(a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three

  
 33 

 
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans
and (ii) on the Business Day prior to any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(d), each Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each
Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the
Committed Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or
to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails
to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Committed Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify
an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan
Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding clause (a). In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed
Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Committed Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Majority Lenders. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings,
all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

 Section 2.03 Letters of Credit. 

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set
forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, and
to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with clause (c) below and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in
Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the
Facility Limit, (y) the Aggregate Exposure of any Lender, shall not exceed the lesser of such Lender’s (I) Commitment and (II) the Applicable Percentage of the Facility Limit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C
Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies
with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly
the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 

(ii) The L/C Issuers shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: 

(A) subject to Section 2.03(c)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
more than twenty-four months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Majority Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the
Lenders have approved such expiry date. 
 (iii) An L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
the applicable L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the applicable L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the
applicable L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the applicable L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the applicable L/C Issuer with respect to such
Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the applicable L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the applicable L/C Issuer any unreimbursed
loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the applicable L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the applicable L/C Issuer applicable to
letters of credit generally; 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer,
such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000; 

  
 35 

 (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
or 
 (E) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.01 exists or any
Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the applicable L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) either with the
Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the applicable L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit then requested to be issued. 

(iv) Each L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of
Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. 
 (v) The L/C Issuers shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if
(A) the applicable L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such
Letter of Credit. 
 (vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the
documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuers shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the
applicable L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in
Article IX included the applicable L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the applicable L/C Issuer. 

(b) [Reserved]. 
 (c)
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension and Auto-Reinstatement Letters of Credit. 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C
Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable
L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to
the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters
as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter
of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the
Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer
or the Administrative Agent may require. 

  
 36 

 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit,
that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of
Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the applicable L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter
of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
 (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application,
the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not
be required to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer
to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the
applicable L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of
clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 

(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an
“Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the
applicable L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized
(but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the applicable L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the applicable L/C Issuer
shall 

  
 37 

 
not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement
Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause (iv)) and, in each case, directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to
permit such reinstatement. 
 (v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising
bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On a monthly basis, each L/C Issuer
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) a complete list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer. 

(d) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C
Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall
reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to (A) the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount
of Base Rate Loans and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion (calculated after giving effect to the application by the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of
such Committed Borrowing) of the Aggregate Commitments. Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(d)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) make funds available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such
notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(d)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that
is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the
applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In
such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 

  
 38 

 (iv) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(d) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of
the applicable L/C Issuer. 
 (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuers for
amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(d), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) shall not be subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter
of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(d) by the time specified in Section 2.03(d)(ii),
the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the applicable L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the applicable L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the
case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 (vii) In the event the Borrower or any Lender shall have entered into the arrangements contemplated pursuant to
Section 2.03(a)(iii)(E) with respect to the applicable L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to another Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled immediately
to exercise its rights under any such arrangement and apply any funds received by it as a result thereof to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit. 

(e) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C
Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(d), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon
(whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as
those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C
Issuer in its 

  
 39 

 
discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this
clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and
to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

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

(iv) any payment by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 
 (v) any other circumstance or
happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of
any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable
L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 (g) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower
agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of
Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related
Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or 

  
 40 

 
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against
the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable
or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(f); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the applicable L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure, in each case as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuers shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (h) Cash
Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.06 and
8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.06 and Section 8.02(c),
“Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances
pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Such cash and deposit account balances are referred to herein,
collectively, as the “Cash Collateral”. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest
in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent.

 (i) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 
 (j) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided that, in the event the Borrower has entered into an arrangement with the applicable L/C Issuer with respect to the applicable L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to any
Lender’s obligation to fund its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit as contemplated in Section 2.03(a)(iii)(E) hereof, no such Letter of Credit

  
 41 

 
Fee shall accrue or be deemed to have accrued, or be owing or payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender with respect to such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Letter of Credit Fee until such time as the applicable L/C Issuer determines in its reasonable discretion that such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under
any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the fifth Business Day after the end of each March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there
is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) upon the request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of Default exists and (B) automatically, upon any Event of Default under
Section 8.01(f), all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
 (k) Fronting Fee and
Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate of 0.125% per annum (but in no
event less than $500.00 per annum or $125.00 per quarter) with respect to each Letter of Credit, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears, and due and payable on the
fifth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 

(l) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the
terms hereof shall control. 
 Section 2.04 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.05 Borrowing Base. 

(a) Initial Borrowing Base. During the period from the Effective Date until the next Determination Date the Borrowing Base shall be
$425,000,000, subject to adjustment or reduction, as applicable, as set forth in Sections 2.05(c), 2.05(d) and 2.05(e). 

(b) Subsequent Determinations of the Borrowing Base. Upon each designation of a new Borrowing Base on a Scheduled Determination or a
Special Determination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the new Borrowing Base which designation shall take effect immediately on the date such notice is sent (each such date (including the Closing Date), a
“Determination Date”) and shall remain in effect until, but not including, the next Determination Date. The Borrowing Base shall be determined in accordance with the following methodology: 

(i) By April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning October 1, 2017, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent
(with sufficient copies for each Lender of any information provided on paper, computer disks, or other tangible media) the Engineering Report then 

  
 42 

 
required under Section 6.01(e) or Section 6.01(f) together with all information, reports and data that the Administrative Agent
requests concerning the businesses and properties of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (including their Oil and Gas Properties and the reserves and production relating thereto). As promptly as reasonably practicable after receiving such
Engineering Report, information, reports and data, the Administrative Agent shall propose a Borrowing Base following the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(b)(iii) below. Each such determination of the Borrowing Base
is herein called a “Scheduled Determination”. If the Borrower does not furnish all such information, reports and data by the date specified in the first sentence of this clause (i), the Administrative Agent
may nonetheless designate the Borrowing Base at any amount that Required Lenders determine (or, in the case of an increase, that all the Lenders determine) and the Borrowing Base may similarly be designated from time to time thereafter until
each Lender receives all such information, reports and data, whereupon the Lenders shall designate a new Borrowing Base as described above. 

(ii) In addition to Scheduled Determinations, the Borrower may request the Lenders to make additional determinations of the Borrowing Base
twice during any fiscal year between Scheduled Determinations, and the Administrative Agent also may (and at the request of the Required Lenders must) request the Lenders to make an additional determination of the Borrowing Base (x) once
during any fiscal year between Scheduled Determinations and (y) in connection with any Royalty Trust Redetermination Trigger Event. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower of any such request made by the Administrative Agent
to the Lenders. The Borrower shall submit any such request made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender and, at the time of such request, the Borrower shall (A) deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender an updated
Engineering Report prepared either by the Borrower or any Approved Petroleum Engineer and (B) notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of the Borrowing Base requested by the Borrower. Any determination of the Borrowing Base made pursuant
to a request under this clause (ii) is herein called a “Special Determination”. Any Special Determination shall be made by Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.05(b)(iii); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to deliver an updated Engineering Report to the Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with any Special Determination
requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 (iii) The Administrative Agent shall propose to the Lenders a specific Borrowing Base amount for
the Lenders to approve or disapprove, (x) in the case of a Scheduled Determination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Report and all information, reports and data requested by it in connection therewith in
a timely manner, then on or before April 15 and October 15th of such year following the date of delivery or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Report and all information, reports and data requested by
it in connection therewith in a timely manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received such Engineering Report and all information, reports and data requested by it in connection therewith and has had a reasonable opportunity to
determine the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(i); and (y) in the case of a Special Determination, promptly, and in any event, within 15 days after the Administrative Agent shall have received the
Engineering Report and all information, reports and data requested by it in connection therewith. Within 15 days after the date referred to in the foregoing clause (iii)(x) or (iii)(y), as applicable, each Lender
shall respond to the Administrative Agent in writing, either approving such proposed amount or setting out a reasonable alternative amount (based on the criteria described in clause (iv) below), and any Lender’s
failure to respond to such proposal within such time will be deemed a disapproval of the proposed amount. After receiving such responses or deemed responses from all Lenders, the Administrative Agent will designate the new Borrowing Base at the
highest amount approved (I) by all Lenders, in the case of an increase to the then current Borrowing Base, or (II) at the highest amount approved by the Required Lenders, in the case of a reduction to or continuation of the then current
Borrowing Base. 

  
 43 

 (iv) Each redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this
Section 2.05 shall be made in good faith by all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, in the exercise of their reasonable discretion and in accordance with their respective customary and prudent standards for oil and
gas lending and credit transactions as they exist at such time and taking into account any Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions that are in place with respect to the production of Hydrocarbons from the Oil and Gas Properties owned by the Borrower and the
other Loan Parties. Without limiting such discretion, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (A) may make such assumptions regarding appropriate existing and projected pricing for Hydrocarbons as they
deem appropriate in their discretion, (B) may make such assumptions regarding projected rates and quantities of future production of Hydrocarbons from the Oil and Gas Properties owned by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties as they deem
appropriate in their discretion, (C) may consider the projected cash requirements of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (D) are not required to consider any asset other than Proved Reserves owned by the Borrower and the other
Loan Parties and (E) may make such other assumptions, considerations and exclusions as they deem appropriate in the exercise of their discretion. It is further acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may consider
such other credit factors as they deem appropriate in the exercise of their discretion (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the
existence of any other Indebtedness). 
 (c) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Incurrence of Junior Lien Debt and Unsecured
Indebtedness. Upon (x) the issuance or incurrence by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Junior Lien Debt and/or unsecured Indebtedness in accordance with Section 7.03(l) (other than to the extent constituting Refinanced
Indebtedness incurred to refinance such Indebtedness, but only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Refinanced Indebtedness incurred to refinance such Indebtedness does not result in beyond any amounts permitted pursuant to
clause (i) of the proviso to the definition of “Refinanced Indebtedness”) and/or (y) the creation of a Lien on any property, assets or revenues of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries securing
the Convertible Notes (or any portion thereof), then, in each case, the Borrowing Base then in effect shall immediately and automatically be reduced by an amount equal to the product of 0.25 multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of
such Junior Lien Debt, unsecured Indebtedness or Convertible Notes, as applicable, (without, for the avoidance of doubt, regard to any original issue discount); provided that no such adjustment shall be required in connection with the
Convertible Notes outstanding on the Closing Date to the extent such Convertible Notes are not (nor is any portion thereof) secured in accordance with their terms. 

(d) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Hedge Terminations. Upon the completion of any early termination or unwinding of, or the creation
of any off-setting position in respect of, any Hedge Transaction used in determining the Borrowing Base on the immediately preceding Determination Date, the effect of which termination, unwinding or off-setting position, when combined with the effect of each other such termination, unwinding and/or off-setting position that has occurred since the immediately preceding
Determination Date, would be a reduction in the Borrowing Base then in effect of 5.0% or more on a pro forma basis, the Borrowing Base then in effect shall immediately and automatically be reduced by the Borrowing Base contribution of such
Hedge Transaction contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction. 
 (e) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon
Dispositions and Casualty Events. Upon the completion of any Disposition of, or Casualty Event with respect to, any assets included in the Borrowing Base on the immediately preceding Determination Date, the effect of which Disposition or
Casualty Event, when combined with the effect of each other such Disposition and/or Casualty Event that has occurred since the immediately preceding Determination Date, would be a reduction in the Borrowing Base then in effect of 5.0% or more on a
pro forma basis, the Borrowing Base then in effect shall immediately and automatically be reduced by the Borrowing Base contribution of such assets contemporaneously with the consummation of such Disposition or the occurrence of such Casualty
Event, as applicable. 

  
 44 

 (f) Royalty Trusts. It is understood and agreed that both the initial Borrowing Base and
each subsequent Borrowing Base shall be calculated to include SandRidge E&P’s proportionate share of the Oil and Gas Properties held by the Royalty Trusts, including all Proved Reserves and related Hydrocarbons from such Oil and Gas
Properties, in each case, determined and redetermined, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.05; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the value
attributable to SandRidge E&P’s proportionate share of the Oil and Gas Properties held by the Royalty Trusts, in the aggregate, constitute more than 12.5% of the aggregate value of the Proved Reserves used to determine the Borrowing Base.

 Section 2.06 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) one Business Day prior to the date of any prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; provided,
further, that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon effectiveness of other financing or the occurrence of other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower, by notice to the Administrative Agent
on or prior to the date specified therein if such condition is not satisfied. Each such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the
Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Committed Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of
the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment
shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 
 (b) Mandatory.

 (i) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately
(x) prepay Committed Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and (y) if any excess remains after prepaying all Committed Loans as a result of outstanding L/C Obligations, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to such excess in order to Cash Collateralize such outstanding L/C Obligations. 

(ii) Upon any determination of or adjustment to the amount of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.05 (other
than pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.05(d) or 2.05(e)), if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall, within ten days after being notified of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, provide an irrevocable written notice (the
“Election Notice”) to Lender stating the action which Borrower proposes to take to remedy such Borrowing Base Deficiency, and the Borrower shall 

  
 45 

 
thereafter do one or a combination of the following (as elected by the Borrower pursuant to the Election Notice) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency:

 (A) within ten days following the delivery (or required delivery) of such Election Notice, make a prepayment of the
Committed Loans (and, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Committed Loans as a result of outstanding L/C Obligations, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, an aggregate amount
equal to such remaining deficiency in order to Cash Collateralize such outstanding L/C Obligations); 
 (B) pay in six equal
monthly installments of the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans (and, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Committed Loans as a result of outstanding L/C Obligations, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to such remaining deficiency in order to Cash Collateralize such outstanding L/C Obligations) over a term and in an amount satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (but in any event, with
the first such monthly installment to be due on the thirtieth day following delivery of the Election Notice and each subsequent installment being equal to 1/6 of the aggregate amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency due and payable on the dame date
in each applicable subsequent calendar month), by immediately dedicating a sufficient amount of monthly cash flow from the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties; and/or 

(C) within thirty days following the delivery of the Election Notice, grant the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, a first-priority Lien, pursuant to Collateral in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, on additional Oil and Gas Properties not evaluated in the most recently delivered
Engineering Report to the Administrative Agent and with an aggregate PV9 Pricing attributable thereto sufficient to eliminate such deficiency; provided that, in no event may the Borrower elect the option specified in this
clause (ii)(C) (in whole or in part) if fewer than ninety-one days remain until the Maturity Date. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all payments required to be made pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b)(ii) must, in any event, be made on or prior to the Maturity Date. In the event the Borrower fails to provide an Election Notice to the Administrative Agent within the ten day period referred to above, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected the option set forth in clause (ii)(B). The failure of the Borrower to comply with any of the options elected (including any deemed election) pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) and specified in such Election Notice (or relating to such deemed election) shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. 

(iii) Upon any adjustment to the amount of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.05(d) or
2.05(e), if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall, in each case, within two Business Days after the consummation or occurrence of the event or events giving rise to such Borrowing Base adjustment, prepay Committed Loans
in an aggregate principal amount equal to such deficiency and (y) if any deficiency remains after prepaying all Committed Loans as a result of outstanding L/C Obligations, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the L/C Issuers and the
Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to such excess in order to Cash Collateralize such outstanding L/C Obligations; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all payments required to be made pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b)(iii) must, in any event, be made on or prior to the Maturity Date.  
 Section 2.07
Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently 

  
 46 

 
reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if,
after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit
exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess; provided, further, that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon effectiveness of other
financing or the occurrence of other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified therein if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees
accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 

Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of
Committed Loans outstanding on such date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. 
 Section 2.09 Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

(b) (1) If any amount of principal of any Committed Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

(i) If any amount (other than principal of any Committed Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Majority Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (ii) (A) Upon the request of the Majority
Lenders, while any Event of Default exists or (B) automatically, while any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans
hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 (c) Interest on each Committed Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such
other times as may be specified herein. Interest 

  
 47 

 
hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the Default Rate) shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 Section 2.10 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in
clauses (j) and (k) of Section 2.03: 
 (a) Commitment Fee. The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount of the
Available Borrowing Base. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4.02 is not met, and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The Commitment Fee shall be
calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect. 
 (b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for
their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so
specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 Section 2.11
Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (if the Base Rate is determined in reliance on clause (ii) of the definition thereof) shall be made on the basis of a year
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or
interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Committed Loan for the day on which the Committed Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a
Committed Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Committed Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Committed Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to
Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

Section 2.12 Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Committed Loans in
addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Committed Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

  
 48 

 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause (a),
each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

Section 2.13 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as
provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date
of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by
Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such
Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 49 

 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event,
if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Issuer, in
immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Committed Loan to
be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension
set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without
interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund
participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any
payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Committed Loan in any particular
place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Committed Loan in any particular place or manner. 

Section 2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall
be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: 

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

  
 50 

 (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to
apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall apply). 

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. 
 Section 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(a) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Committed Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by
this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting
Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Committed Borrowings under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future
Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any L/C Issuer against such
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Committed Loan or L/C Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share and (y) such Committed Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied
solely to pay the Committed Loans of, and L/C Advance owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Committed Loans of, or L/C Advances owed to,
such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the facility without giving effect to
Section 2.15(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.15(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

  
 51 

 (b) Certain Fees. 

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and
the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15(e). 

(iii) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or
(ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee
otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(c) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C
Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but
only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Aggregate Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the lesser of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
(i) Commitment and (ii) Applicable Percentage of the Facility Limit. Subject to Section 2.15(g) below, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (d) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in
clause (c) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting
Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(h). 
 (e) Defaulting Lender Cure. If
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and
subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Committed Loans of the other Lenders or take
such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under
the applicable facility (without giving effect to Section 2.15(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 52 

 (f) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer
shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 

(g) Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound
by: 
 (i) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority
to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (ii)
the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 

(A) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(B) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (C) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

ARTICLE III 
 TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 Section 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other
Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, 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 such
deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the
Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (c)
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuers, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full 

  
 53 

 
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section 3.01) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a
Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to
an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax
purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or applicable W-8 claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; 

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or applicable W-8; or 

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding
tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

  
 54 

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States, if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby
authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the
Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required
to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This clause (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to
pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (f), the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than
the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. 

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans,
either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon
any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

  
 55 

 Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Majority Lenders determine that for
any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or (c) the Eurodollar Rate
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Committed Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each
Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
in the amount specified therein. 
 Section 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or any L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,
commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves or other liabilities attributable thereto (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of,
any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or L/C Issuer); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate
Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Committed Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in
or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer,
the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital or Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such
L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or
such L/C Issuer’s capital or 

  
 56 

 
liquidity, or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the
Committed Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this
Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall
not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender
or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such
Committed Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Committed Loan;
provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 10 Business Days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 Business Days prior
to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 Business Days from receipt of such notice. 

Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time,
the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Committed Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of
the Interest Period for such Committed Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise) (including, for avoidance of doubt, any payments pursuant to clause (b) of
Section 2.06); 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a
Committed Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Committed Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower (including by reason of a revocation of notice of prepayment pursuant to the further
proviso in the first sentence of Section 2.06(a)); or 

  
 57 

 (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Committed Loan or from
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to
have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Committed Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not
such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Committed Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as
the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with
Section 10.13. 
 Section 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations, and any corresponding
Lenders’ obligations, under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

(b) production from, allocated to, or attributed to each Engineered Oil and Gas Property is not less than the decimal fraction set forth in the most recent Engineering Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and described therein
by the designations “net revenue interest”, “NRI” or similar terms. Except to the extent constituting an Immaterial Title Deficiency, each well drilled in respect of each Engineered Oil and Gas Property described in the
Engineering Report (y) is capable of, and is presently, producing Hydrocarbons in commercial quantities, and the applicable Loan Party is currently receiving payments for its share of production, with no material funds in respect of any thereof
being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders and other usual and customary suspense accounts, and (z) has been drilled, bottomed, completed, and operated in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws and no such well which is currently producing hydrocarbons is subject to any penalty in production by reason of such well having produced in excess of its allowable production. To the
Borrower’s knowledge, there are no unrecorded assignments or conveyances affecting the Engineered Oil and Gas Properties or any Loan Party’s interest therein that would result in the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries having a WI or
NRI that is less than the WI/NRI set forth in the Engineering Report, except the interests of Sierra Madera CO2 Pipeline LP and Symbol Energy Inc., which constitute Immaterial Title Deficiencies. 

(b) The Engineered Oil and Gas Properties (and all properties unitized therewith) are, in all material respects, being (and, to the
extent the same could materially and adversely affect the ownership or operation of the Engineered Oil and Gas Properties after the date hereof, to the applicable Loan Party’s knowledge, have in the past been) maintained, operated and
developed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with prudent industry standards and in conformity with all applicable Laws and in conformity with all oil, gas or other mineral leases and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the
Engineered Oil and Gas Property and in conformity with the Permitted Encumbrances. No Engineered Oil and Gas Property is subject to having allowable production after the date hereof reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum
permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) prior to the date hereof and none of the wells located on the Engineered Oil and Gas Properties (or properties unitized
therewith) are or will be deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by applicable Laws, regulations, rules and orders, and such wells are bottomed under and producing from, with the well bores wholly within, the Engineered Oil
and Gas Properties (or, in the case of wells located on properties unitized therewith, such unitized properties). There are no dry holes, or otherwise inactive wells, located on the Engineered Oil and Gas Properties or on lands pooled or unitized
therewith, except for wells that have been properly plugged and abandoned or for which appropriate plugging and abandonment has been scheduled. Each Loan Party has all material governmental licenses and permits reasonably necessary or appropriate to
own and operate its Engineered Oil and Gas Properties, and no Loan Party has received notice in writing of any material violations in respect of any such licenses or permits. 

Section 5.22 Sale of Production. Except (x) as of the Closing Date, as set forth in Schedule 5.22,
or (y) thereafter, as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and 

  
 67 

 
reflected in the most recent determination of the Borrowing Base, or (z) for matters that constitute Immaterial Title Deficiencies: 

(a) No Engineered Oil and Gas Property is subject to any material contractual or other arrangement (i) whereby payment for production is
or can be deferred for a substantial period after the month in which such production is delivered (in the case of oil, not in excess of 60 days, and in the case of gas, not in excess of 90 days) or (ii) whereby payments are made to a Loan
Party other than by checks, drafts, wire transfer advises or other similar writings, instruments or communications for the immediate payment of money; 

(b) (i) No Engineered Oil and Gas Property is subject to any material contractual or other arrangement for the sale, processing or
transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) which cannot be canceled on 120 days’ (or less) notice and (ii) all material contractual or other arrangements for the sale, processing or
transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) are bona fide arm’s length transactions made with third parties not affiliated with Loan Parties; 

(c) Each Loan Party is presently receiving a price for all production (other than gas used for operations at a field location) from (or
attributable to) each Engineered Oil and Gas Property covered by a production sales contract or marketing contract that is computed in accordance with the terms of such contract, and no Loan Party is having deliveries of production from such
Engineered Oil and Gas Property curtailed substantially below such property’s delivery capacity, except for curtailments caused (i) by an act or event of force majeure, or (ii) by routine maintenance requirements in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (d) No Loan Party, nor, to such Loan Party’s knowledge, any Loan Party’s predecessors in title, has
received prepayments (including payments for gas not taken pursuant to “take or pay” or other similar arrangements) for any oil, gas or other hydrocarbons produced or to be produced from any Engineered Oil and Gas Properties after the
date hereof; 
 (e) No Engineered Oil and Gas Property is subject to any “take or pay” or other similar arrangement (i) which
can be satisfied in whole or in part by the production or transportation of gas from other properties or (ii) as a result of which production from any Engineered Oil and Gas Property may be required to be delivered to one or more third parties
without payment (or without full payment) therefor as a result of payments made, or other actions taken, with respect to other properties; 

(f) There is no Engineered Oil and Gas Property with respect to which any Loan Party, or, to such Loan Party’s knowledge, any Loan
Party’s predecessors in title, has, prior to the date hereof, taken more (“overproduced”), or less (“underproduced”), in any material respect, gas from the lands covered thereby (or pooled or unitized therewith) than
its ownership interest in such Engineered Oil and Gas Property would entitle it to take; and as of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.22 accurately reflects, in all material respects, for each well or unit with respect to which
such an imbalance is shown thereon to exist, (i) whether such Loan Party is overproduced or underproduced and (ii) the volumes (in cubic feet or British thermal units) of such overproduction or underproduction and the effective date
of such information; 
 (g) No Engineered Oil and Gas Property is subject to a gas balancing arrangement under which one or more third
parties may take a portion of the production attributable to such Engineered Oil and Gas Property without payment (or without full payment) therefor as a result of production having been taken from, or as a result of other actions or inactions
with respect to, other properties; and 

  
 68 

 (h) No Engineered Oil and Gas Property is subject at the present time to any regulatory refund
obligation and, to such Loan Party’s knowledge, no facts exist which might cause the same to be imposed. 
 Section 5.23
OFAC. 
 (a) Neither the Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to its knowledge, any director, officer, employee, agent,
affiliate or representative thereof, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or controlled by any individual or entity that is (i) currently the subject or target of any Sanctions or (ii) located, organized or resident in a
Designated Jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses in compliance in all material respects
with Sanctions and have instituted and maintained policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such Sanctions or any Laws related thereto.

so) to duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent deeds of trust, trust deeds, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, leasehold mortgages, leasehold deeds of trust, Security Agreement Supplements and other security and pledge agreements, as
specified by and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (including delivery of all Pledged Equity in and of such Subsidiary, and other instruments required under the Security Agreement) securing payment of all
the Obligations of such Subsidiary or such parent, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents and constituting Liens on all such real and personal properties; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary will be required to grant a security interest in the Equity Interest of any (i) CFC in excess of 66% of the Equity Interest of such CFC, (ii) Immaterial Subsidiary or (iii) Unrestricted Subsidiary; 

(iii) subject in the case of Oil and Gas Properties to Section 6.12(b), within 30 days after such formation or
acquisition (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may in its discretion approve), cause such Subsidiary and each direct and indirect parent of such Subsidiary (if it has not already done so) to take whatever action (including the
recording of mortgages, the filing of UCC financing statements, the giving of notices and the endorsement of notices on title documents) may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to vest in the Administrative
Agent (or in any representative of the Administrative Agent designated by it) valid and subsisting Liens on the properties purported to be subject to the deeds of trust, trust deeds, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, leasehold mortgages,
leasehold deeds of trust, Security Agreement Supplements and security and pledge agreements delivered pursuant to this Section 6.12, enforceable against all third parties in accordance with their terms; and 

(iv) within 60 days after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may in its discretion approve),
deliver to the Administrative Agent, upon the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, a signed copy of a favorable opinion, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, of counsel for the Loan Parties
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the matters contained in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, and as to such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

 (b) If the report or certificate delivered under Section 6.01(e) or
Section 6.01(f) does not confirm that the Obligations are secured by first-priority Liens covering and encumbering at least 95% of the PV9 Pricing of the Proved Reserves, in
each case, attributable to the Engineered Oil and Gas Properties (without taking into account any adjustments for hedging), then (i) within 30 days of the delivery of such report or certificate (or such longer period as may be appropriate in
the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Loan Parties that own Engineered Oil and Gas Properties shall execute and deliver mortgages and deeds of trust (or supplements with respect thereto) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, together with such other assignments, conveyances, amendments, agreements and other writings (each duly authorized and executed) and together with such certificates and opinions of counsel with respect thereto, in each
case as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary to grant, evidence and perfect the first-priority Liens on such additional properties required by this Section 6.12(b) and
(ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, which request shall 

  
 75 

 
not be made more than once per calendar year so long as no Default, Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency is then continuing, evidence of title reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent with respect to such additional properties, but only to the extent necessary such that the Borrower shall have delivered evidence of title covering Engineered Oil and Gas Properties subject to the Mortgages comprising at least
70% of the total PV9 Pricing of the Proved Reserves attributable to the Engineered Oil and Gas Properties required by this Section 6.12(b) to be subject to the Mortgages; provided, however, that the
requirements of this Section 6.12(b) shall not apply to any Oil and Gas Properties as to which the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion, after consultation with the Borrower, that the costs
and burden of obtaining such evidence of title are excessive in relation to the value of the benefits afforded thereby. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, SandRidge E&P shall only be required to pledge its Equity Interests in the Royalty Trusts. Furthermore, the Royalty Trusts shall not be required to become Loan Parties and their Oil
and Gas Properties shall not be required to become subject to any mortgage as may otherwise be required under this Section 6.12 or any Collateral Document.

hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except to the extent Sections 9.01(b) and 9.06 expressly contemplate rights of others, the provisions of this Article IX are
solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its
capacities as a Lender and potential Lender Counterparty) and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and
enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as
“collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any
rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including
Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not
be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and 

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

  
 93 

 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 8.02 and 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C
Issuer. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or
(vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by
the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Committed Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Committed Loan or the issuance of such Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. 

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such 

  
 94 

 
notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of
its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (in consultation with the Borrower) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers
under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
(or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent.

 Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Committed Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as
herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Committed Loans, L/C
Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the

Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and
10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of
the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

(c) the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to subordinate or release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.01(j); and 

(d) and instruct the Administrative Agent to release (and the following shall automatically be released without any further action on the part
of any Person): any Lien on any property (an interest in which has been Disposed of to a Royalty Trust) granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document if, and when, a Lien on such property is granted in favor of such
Royalty Trust. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as
specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable 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 Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10. 
 The benefit of the Collateral Documents
and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to each Lender Counterparty in respect of any Obligations owed to such Lender Counterparty under any Swap Contract.
Except as set forth in Sections 10.01(f), no Lender Counterparty shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of Obligations owed to it under any Swap Contract. 

Section 9.11 Flood Insurance. The Administrative Agent has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements
placed on federally regulated lenders under the Flood Insurance Regulations. The Administrative Agent will post on the Platform (or otherwise distribute to each lender in the syndicate) documents that it receives, if any, in connection with the
Flood Insurance Regulations. However, the Administrative Agent reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Insurance Regulations, each federally regulated lender (whether acting as a Lender or a Participant
in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the Flood Insurance Regulations. 
 Section 9.12
Intercreditor Agreements. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant Section 10.06) hereby irrevocably authorizes and directors the Administrative Agent to enter into (a) the
Convertible Notes Intercreditor Agreement and (b) any other Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, in each case, as needed to effectuate the transactions permitted by this Agreement and agrees that the Administrative
Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of such applicable intercreditor agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Sections 9.03 and 10.04, each Lender hereby consents to the
Administrative Agent and any successor serving in such capacity and agrees not to assert any claim (including as a result of any conflict of interest) against the Administrative Agent, or any such successor, arising from the role of the

  
 97 

 
Administrative Agent or such successor under the Loan Documents or any such intercreditor agreement so long as it is either acting in accordance with the terms of such documents and otherwise has
not engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). In addition, the Administrative Agent to, without any further
consent of any Lender (other than the consent as to the form of Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement contemplated by the definition of “Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), enter into a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the
collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.03 that is intended to be secured on a junior basis to the Liens securing the Obligations, in each case, where such
Indebtedness is secured by Liens permitted under Section 7.01. The Administrative Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as to whether any such other Liens are permitted. The
Convertible Notes Intercreditor Agreement and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be binding on the Secured Parties.

or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for
breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. No Loan Party will, without the prior written consent of the relevant Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any
of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) against an Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from
all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Loan Party shall be liable for any settlement of any pending or threatened
Proceeding effected without the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 
 (c)
Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 10.04 to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the applicable L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent
(or any such sub-agent) or the applicable L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or applicable L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.13(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Committed Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No
Indemnitee 

  
 102 

 
referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to
such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other
than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days

 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the resignation
of the Administrative Agent and any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 

Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative
Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered
from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this

parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section 10.06 and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of 

  
 103 

 
its Commitment and the Committed Loans (including for purposes of this clause (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that
any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

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

(B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this
Section 10.06, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Committed Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the
Committed Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in
the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of
its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met. 

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Committed Loans or the Commitment assigned; 
 (iii)
Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.06 and, in addition: 

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless
(1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented
to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required
if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and the consent of the L/C Issuers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required
for any assignment. 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee per assignment payable by the assignor (subject to Section 10.13(a)) directly to the Administrative Agent in the amount
of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

  
 104 

 (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of
the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person. 
 (vii) No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this
Section 10.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 10.06. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Committed Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Committed Loans
(including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument

  
 105 

 
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (e) of this Section 10.06, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 3.01, 3.04, and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this
Section 10.06. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to
be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. 
 Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Committed Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes
of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that
no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or
any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed Loan and
(ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to
make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.13(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase
the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be 

  
 106 

 
liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender
of record hereunder. The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it
will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee to the Administrative Agent in the amount of $3,500,
assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(h) Resignation as an L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time an L/C
Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Committed Loans pursuant to clause (b) above, such L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder (and any such appointment shall be subject to the acceptance of such appointed Lender); provided, however,
that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the exiting L/C Issuer as L/C Issuer. If such L/C Issuer resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C
Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund
risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(d)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and (ii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to the exiting L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of exiting L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) to credit rating agencies, the CUSIP Service Bureau and credit insurers, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 

  
 107 

 For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C
Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof,
such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as nonpublic and confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to confidential information of a similar nature. 

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 

In addition, the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the substantive terms of
this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Arranger, the Administrative Agent or a Lender, as applicable, in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and the Commitments. 
 Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 Section 10.09
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of
non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Committed Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, 

  
 108 

 
or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of
interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 Section 10.10 Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy facsimile, photocopy or by sending a scanned copy by
electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. To the extent any inconsistency exists between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed controlling.

 Section 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other
Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default
at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Committed Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 

Section 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.13 Replacement of
Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender is unwilling to approve an increase in the Borrowing Base or other amendment hereto which has been approved by the Required
Lenders but requires approval of such Lender to be effective, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance
with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (a) the Borrower
shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b); 

  
 109 

 (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Committed Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee
(to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c)
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in
such compensation or payments thereafter; 
 (d) in the case of an assignment resulting from
clause (iv) above, such assignment will result in effectiveness of such increase or amendment; and 
 (e)
such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this
Section 10.13. 
 Section 10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION

ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT A PARTY HERETO MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO
BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANOTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

  
 110 

 (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
CLAUSE (b) OF THIS SECTION 10.14. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE
MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 

Section 10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 10.15. 
 Section 10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. 

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit
facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of
evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in
connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the
Arranger or any Lender has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in
a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative 

  
 111 

 
Agent nor the Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent, the
Arranger and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other
Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claims that it
may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with the Transactions. 

Section 10.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative
Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall
promptly provide such additional information and documentation reasonably requested by any Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations
under the PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 10.18 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words
“execute”, “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without
limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Committed Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on
electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation
to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. 

Section 10.19 Amendment and Restatement. It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Existing Credit Agreement be
amended and restated in its entirety pursuant hereto so as to preserve and continue the perfection and priority of all Liens securing Indebtedness and Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and that all Indebtedness and Obligations of the
Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be secured by the Liens evidenced under the Collateral Documents and that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the Indebtedness and Obligations
existing under the Existing Credit Agreement. In addition, unless specifically amended hereby, each of the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and that, from and after the Closing Date, all references to the “Credit
Agreement” contained therein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to amend and restate each of the Security Agreement and the Guaranty, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent in order to, among other things, reflect the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement. 

Section 10.20 Keepwell. The Borrower absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other
support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to 

  
 112 

 
honor all of its obligations under the Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligations (provided, however, that the Borrower shall only be liable under this
Section 10.20 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.20, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under
applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.20 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement and the Guaranty. The Borrower intends that this Section 10.20 constitute, and this Section 10.20 shall be deemed to constitute, a
“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
