Obligations and outstanding Swingline Loans shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Revolving Credit Loan by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving
Credit Loans hereunder until the Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to
the Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including, the Maturity Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not
exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment less the sum of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the L/C Obligations and (ii) the Swingline Commitment. 

(b) Refunding. 
 (i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Revolving Credit Lenders on demand by the Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall fund its respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business
Day after such demand is made. No Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to fund its Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan. 
 (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such
Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative

 -28-

 
refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the
amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline
Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 12.1 and which such Event of Default has not been
waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable). 
 (iii) Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees

refunded in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of
its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the
Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such
Revolving Credit Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and
funded).

Lender’s risk with respect to any such Defaulting Lender’s funding obligations hereunder, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of the applicable outstanding Swingline Loans. On
demand by the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrower shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans on terms reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender. Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, as collateral (solely for

 ARTICLE III 

LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY 
 SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment. 
 (a) Availability. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower
on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not including the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date in such form as may be 

  
 -32-

 
approved from time to time by the Issuing Bank; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance,
(a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (b) the Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) be a standby letter of
credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii) expire on a date no more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or
last renewal of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewal for additional one (1) year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Agreement or other documentation acceptable to the Issuing Bank), which date shall be no later
than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (iv) be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Agreement or as determined by the Issuing Bank and, to the extent not inconsistent
therewith, the laws of the State of New York. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits
imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise
requires. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. 

(b) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.1, the Issuing Bank shall
not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to any such
Defaulting Lender’s reimbursement obligations hereunder, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit. On demand by the Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrowers shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, as collateral (solely for the
benefit of the Issuing Bank) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Swingline Loans. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the
Issuing Bank immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any drawing under any Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms of
this Section 3.1. 
 SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to
time request that the Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Office a Letter of Credit Agreement therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank, and such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Bank may request. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall process such Letter of Credit Agreement and the certificates, documents and other papers
and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall
the Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Agreement therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating
thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. The Issuing Bank shall promptly furnish to the Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and
promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance 

  
 -33-

 
and upon request by any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation therein. 

SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges. 
 (a) Letter of Credit Commissions. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to
each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (determined on a per annum basis), provided that
each Letter of Credit bear a minimum commission of $500. Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this Section 3.3 in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages. 
 (b) Fronting Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit as set forth in the Commitment and Engagement Letter. Such issuance fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of
each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. 

(c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such
normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations. 
 (a) The Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to
accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such
draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. 
 (b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and
due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Bank after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall
pay to the Issuing Bank on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by 

  
 -34-

 
the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times
(iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Bank of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to
1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day. 

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant
its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of
interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by
the Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it. 
 SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan
as provided for in this Section 3.5 or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Issuing Bank within 5 Business Days of when the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of
Credit for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Unless the Borrower shall notify the Issuing Bank within one
Business Day that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving
Credit Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate on such date in the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection
with such payment, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the related drawing and
costs and expenses. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article V. If the Borrower has elected to
pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate
Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full. 
 SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The
Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or
genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party
to which such Letter of Credit 

  
 -35-

 
may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or
documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant to the Borrower. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to
the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each
draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 

SECTION 3.7 Effect of Letter of Credit Agreement. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Agreement related to
any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS 

SECTION 4.1 Interest. 
 (a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1, at the election of the Borrower, (i) Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower shall select the rate of interest
and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2. Any Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Borrower
has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan. 
 (b) Interest Periods. In
connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in Section 2.3 or 4.2, as applicable, shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to
such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6) months or, if agreed by all of the relevant Lenders, nine (9) or twelve (12) months; provided that: 

(i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of
immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires; 
 (ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Interest Period
with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business
Day; 

  
 -36-

 (iii) any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan that begins on
the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of such
Interest Period; and 
 (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date and Interest Periods shall
be selected by the Borrower so as to permit the Borrower to make without payment of any amounts pursuant to Section 4.9. 
 (c) Post-Default Rate. Subject to Section 10.3, (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(h) or
(i), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or
Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable
Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (C) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under
any other Loan Document. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether
state, federal or foreign. 
 (d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and
payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter commencing December 31, 2010; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest
Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder 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 365/366-day year). 
 (e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or
event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall
automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful
rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a pro rata basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive
or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. 
 SECTION 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to
(a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any 

  
 -37-

 
outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and
(b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than
Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the
form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective
specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which
shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation. 
 SECTION 4.3 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the
Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any); provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment for the purpose of calculating the Commitment Fee.
The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing December 31, 2010 and ending on the Maturity Date. Such Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. 

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral for their own respective
accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Commitment and Engagement Letter. 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.

 SECTION 4.4 Manner of Payment. 
 (a) Sharing of Payments. Each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation)
payable to the Lenders under this Agreement (or any of them) shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of
the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. Charlotte, North Carolina
time on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 10.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m.
Charlotte, North Carolina time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at
its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to such Lenders, (except as specified below) and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each
Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent 

  
 -38-

 
on account of the principal of or interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the account of
the Swingline Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing Bank’s fees or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Bank or the L/C Participants, as the case may be.
Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or
12.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it
shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. 

(b) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding Section 4.4(a), if any Defaulting Lender shall have failed to fund all or any
portion of any Revolving Credit Loan (each such Revolving Credit Loan, an “Affected Loan”), each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied first to such Affected Loan and the principal amount and interest with respect to
such payment shall be distributed (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (each, a “Non-Defaulting Lender”) pro rata based on the outstanding principal amount of Affected Loans owing to
all Non-Defaulting Lenders, until the principal amount of all Affected Loans has been repaid in full and (ii) to the extent of any remaining amount of such payment, to each Revolving Credit Lender as set forth in Section 4.4(a).
Each payment made by the Borrower on account of the interest on any Affected Loans shall be distributed to each Non-Defaulting Lender pro rata based on the outstanding principal amount of Affected Loans owing to all Non-Defaulting
Lenders. 
 SECTION 4.5 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit 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 Extensions of
Credit 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 Revolving Credit Note and/or
Swingline Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date,
amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) Participations. In addition to the accounts
and records referred to in Section 4.5(a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit
Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such
matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

  
 -39-

 SECTION 4.6 Adjustments. 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 its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and
accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 12.3) 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 Loans and such other 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 Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that 

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and 
 (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 Each Credit Party 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 each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 4.7
Obligations of Lenders. 
 (a) 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 borrowing, or with respect to same day borrowings prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount 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
(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in
the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 (b) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations
of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any
Revolving Credit Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. 
 SECTION 4.8 Changed Circumstances. 
 (a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR
Rate Availability. In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall
determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right
of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal
amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or (B) convert the then outstanding
principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period. 
 (b) Laws
Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall
promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no
longer exist the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans.

 SECTION 4.9 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise
or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount
due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment,
prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period 

  
 -41-

 
therefor including without limitation due to any assignment required by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.12(b) hereof. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the
applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods
which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent
and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. 
 SECTION 4.10 Increased Costs. 

(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 advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter
of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 4.11 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR 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, converting into or
maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the
Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank the Borrower shall 

  
 -42-

 
promptly pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a
Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.10 and
delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such amount shall have been determined on a reasonable basis. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any
Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 SECTION 4.11 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; provided that if the Borrower shall be
required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified 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 4.11) the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank, 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 paragraph (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 Issuing Bank, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank for any amount in respect of any such penalties, interest or reasonable expenses if written demand
therefor was not made by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank within 180 days from the date on which such party makes payment for such penalties, interest or expenses; provided further that the foregoing limitation
shall not apply to any such penalties, interest or reasonable expenses arising out of the retroactive application of any such Indemnified Tax. Any payment pursuant to such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after demand therefor. A
certificate as to the amount 

  
 -43-

 
of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as
practicable after any payment of Indemnified 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 a 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 Form W-8BEN 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 Form W-8BEN, 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. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank 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, 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 with 

  
 -44-

 
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 the Issuing Bank, 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 the Issuing Bank, 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 the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (g) Survival. Without prejudice to the
survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment.

 SECTION 4.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or requires the
Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, 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 4.11, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder or becomes a Non-consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.10), 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: 

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 12.10;

 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.9) from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

  
 -45-

 (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. 

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; or 
 (y) so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than an Issuing Bank), repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such
Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of an Issuing Bank, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Issuing Bank relating to the Loans and participations
held by the Issuing Bank as of such termination date other than any Obligations pertaining to any Subject Letters of Credit (as defined below). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 4.12, unless the Issuing Bank is removed and replaced with a successor Issuing Bank at the time the Borrower exercises its
rights under this Section 4.12, any Issuing Bank having undrawn Letters of Credit issued by it (the “Subject Letters of Credit”) whose Commitments and Obligations are to be repaid or terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 4.12 shall (x) remain a party hereto until the expiration or termination of the Subject Letters of Credit, (y) not issue (or be required to issue) any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (z) continue to have all
rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents solely with respect to the Subject Letters of Credit until all of the Subject Letters of Credit have expired, been terminated or become subject to a
“backstop” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, but excluding any consent rights as an Issuing Bank under Section 4.12). 
 SECTION 4.13 Security. The Obligations of the Borrower shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 4.14 Incremental Loans. 
 (a) At any time prior to the Maturity
Date, as applicable, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more incremental revolving credit commitments (any such incremental revolving credit commitment, an “Incremental
Revolving Credit Commitment”) to make incremental revolving credit loans (any such incremental revolving credit loans, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Loan”); 
 provided that the total aggregate amount for all such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed $100 million. Each such notice shall specify
the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which
such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to provide an Incremental
Revolving Credit Commitment (any such Person, a “New Lender”). Any Lender or any New Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole
discretion, to provide such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment. Any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that: 

(A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to (1) any
Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and (2) to the extent 

  
 -46-

 
occurring substantially simultaneously with the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) the making of any tranche of Incremental Revolving Credit Loans pursuant thereto and
(ii) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall have received from the Borrower an Officer’s Compliance Certificate demonstrating that the Borrower will be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the financial covenants set forth in Article VIII both before and
after giving effect to (1) any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (and assuming for these purposes that all Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are fully drawn as Incremental Revolving Credit Loans) and (2) to the extent
occurring substantially simultaneously with the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) the making of any tranche of Incremental Revolving Credit Loans pursuant thereto and (ii) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection
therewith; 
 (C) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be
true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such Increase Amount Date (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific
earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; 
 (D) the proceeds of any Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions); 

(E) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (and the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans made thereunder) shall
constitute Obligations of the Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Extensions of Credit on a pari passu basis; 
 (1) in the case of each Incremental Revolving Credit Loan (the terms of which shall be set forth the relevant Joinder Agreement): 

(x) such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall mature on the Maturity Date, shall bear interest at the rate applicable
to the Revolving Credit Loans and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans; and 
 (y) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increased
Amount Date among the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the New Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans) in accordance with their revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the
New Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 4.9 in connection
with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment); 
 (2) any Incremental Revolving Credit Lender
with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, shall be included in any determination of Required Lenders and will not
constitute a separate class and any Extensions of Credit made in connection with each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder; 

  
 -47-

 (F) such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effected pursuant
to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders (which Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.14) and upon the execution of such Joinder the applicable
Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder; and 
 (G) the Borrower
shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Credit Party authorizing the
Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

requisite organizational power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (iii) is qualified to do

SECTION 6.2 Ownership. Each Subsidiary of each Credit Party as of the Closing Date is listed on Schedule 6.2. As of
the Closing Date, the capitalization of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries consists of the number of shares, authorized, issued and outstanding, of such classes and series, with or without par value, described on Schedule 6.2. All
outstanding shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and not subject to any preemptive or similar rights, except as described in

the Borrower has good and marketable title to all securities of the Subsidiaries issued to it, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than Excepted Liens, and all such securities have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding stock purchase warrants, subscriptions, options, securities, instruments or other rights of any type or nature whatsoever, which are convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise
provide for or permit the issuance of Capital Stock of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, except as described on Schedule 6.2. 
 SECTION 6.3 Authority. The Borrower and each Credit Party has all necessary organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it
is a party; and the execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on its part; and the Loan Documents constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of each Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with their terms. 
 SECTION 6.4 No Breach.
Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent which has not been obtained as of the Closing Date under, the
respective charter, limited partnership agreement, articles of organization or by-laws of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Applicable Law, or any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
by which it is bound or to which it or its Properties are subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the revenues or assets of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument, other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents. 

SECTION 6.5 Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental

through appropriate action) a Material Adverse Effect. Except for such acts or failures to act as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Pipeline Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (and Properties unitized therewith) have been
maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Applicable Laws and all rules, regulations and orders of all duly constituted authorities having jurisdiction and in conformity with the provisions of all

as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP and (ii) any amount or return the failure of which to pay or file could not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes are adequate, and the Borrower does not anticipate any additional taxes or assessment for any of such years. No tax lien has been

health or welfare or the environment, and all such transport carriers and treatment and disposal facilities have been and are operating in compliance with Environmental Laws and so as not to pose an imminent and substantial endangerment to public
health or welfare or the environment, and are not the subject of any existing, pending or threatened action, investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority in connection with any Environmental Laws;

bound. No Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 SECTION 6.14 Employee Relations. None of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has any employees. 
 SECTION 6.15 Burdensome Provisions. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is a
party to any indenture, agreement, lease or other instrument, or subject to any corporate or partnership restriction, Governmental Approval or Applicable Law which is so unusual or burdensome as in the foreseeable future could be reasonably expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries do not presently anticipate that future expenditures needed to meet the provisions of any statutes, orders, rules or regulations of a Governmental Authority will
be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Subsidiary is party to any agreement or instrument or otherwise subject to any restriction or encumbrance that restricts or limits its ability to make dividend payments or other distributions

necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both
would give rise to a default under any such lease rights of way, permits, licenses, which would affect in any material respect the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; 

(d) The rights, Properties and other assets presently owned, leased or licensed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without
limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights, Properties and other assets necessary to permit the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to conduct its business in all material respects in the same manner as its business has been conducted

of cancellation or termination has been received with respect to any such policy. Such policies are sufficient for compliance with all requirements of law and of all agreements to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; are valid,

an insurance carrier to which it has applied for any such insurance or with which it has carried insurance during the last three years. 

SECTION 6.21 Liens. No Credit Party has signed any financing statement or any security agreement authorizing any secured party
thereunder to file any financing statement, except to perfect those Excepted Liens. No Credit Party is a party to any agreement or arrangement (other than this Agreement and the Security Documents), or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree,
which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to other Persons on or in respect of their respective assets or Properties.

Subsidiaries’ Pipeline Properties which would require any of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to transport or purchase any volumes of Hydrocarbons without receiving delivery thereof or for gathering and transportation through their
Pipeline Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment of the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ tariffs therefor. 
 SECTION 6.31 Relationship of Credit Parties. The Credit Parties are engaged in related businesses and each Credit Party is directly and indirectly dependent upon each other Credit Party for and in
connection with their business activities and their financial resources; and each Credit Party has determined, reasonably and in good faith, that such Credit Party will receive substantial direct and indirect economic and financial benefits from the
Extensions of Credit made under this Agreement, and such extensions of credit are in the best interests of such Credit Party, having regard to all relevant facts and circumstances. 

SECTION 6.32 Security Documents. The provisions of the Security Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid and enforceable first priority Lien (subject to Excepted Liens) on all right, title and interest of the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Collateral described therein. Except for filings
completed prior to the Closing Date and as contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents, no filing or other action will be necessary to perfect or protect such Liens. 
 SECTION 6.33 Disclosures. To the Borrower’s knowledge, no written information, statement, exhibit, certificate, document or report furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or any
of them) by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statement contained therein not
materially misleading in the light of the circumstances in which made. There is no fact peculiar to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which has a Material Adverse Effect or in the future is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
and which has not been set forth in this Agreement or the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries prior to, or on, the Closing Date in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the
time such projections were prepared. 
 SECTION 6.34 No Casualty Event. Neither the Borrower nor any Credit Party has
received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any casualty event affecting all or any portion of its property. No Mortgage encumbers any Building owned by a Credit Party that is located in an area
that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance is available under such Act has been obtained in
accordance with Section 7.3(d),

or if flood insurance is not available under the Act, private flood insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent has been obtained.

until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or
(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 11.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan
or the issuance 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 11.5 Delegation of
Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XI 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 Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 11.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank, 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

  
 -90-

 
Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the
Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. 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 paragraph). 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 XI and Section 12.3 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. 
 (b) Any resignation by Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.6 shall also
constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and
(c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume
the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 11.7 Non-Reliance on
Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 SECTION 11.8 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any counterparty to any Specified Hedging Agreement), 

(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties
(whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Specified Hedge Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due), under any Loan Document (i) upon repayment of the outstanding principal of and all accrued
interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, payment of all outstanding fees and expenses hereunder, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is disposed or
to be disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 12.2, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

  
 -91-

 (b) to subordinate or release any Lien on any Collateral (whether or not on the date of such
subordination or release there may be outstanding Specified Hedge Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due) granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Excepted Lien; and

 (c) to release any Guarantor (whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Specified Hedge Obligations
or contingent indemnification obligations not then due) from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, the Security Agreement and any other Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required 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 Agreement pursuant to this Section. 

SECTION 11.9 Release of Liens and Guarantees of Subsidiaries. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of by the Borrower or any other Credit Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger, consolidation or in connection with the sale of a Subsidiary permitted hereunder), then the Administrative Agent, at the
request and sole expense of the Borrower or such other Credit Party, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created by any of the
Security Documents on such Collateral. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 9.5, the Liens created by
any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released (without need for further action by any person). At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Subsidiary that is a Credit Party shall be released from all its
obligations under this Agreement and under all other Loan Documents in the event that it shall cease to be a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger or consolidation), and the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the foregoing. 

SECTION 11.10 Specified Hedging Agreements. No Lender or Affiliate thereof party to a Specified Hedging Agreement that obtains the
benefits of Section 10.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, or (subject to

any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder; 

(d) change Section 4.6 or Section 10.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

required to consent thereto under this Section 12.2 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that 

  
 -95-

 
the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.2, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited
to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (acting in their sole discretion) and the Borrower or
any other relevant Credit Party shall be permitted to amend such provision or cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Credit Party or Parties and
the Administrative Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the
granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any
security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with Applicable Law. 
 SECTION 12.3 Expenses; Indemnity. 
 (a) Costs and Expenses. The
Borrower and each Credit Party, jointly and severally, shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Arranger and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in
connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (including the

and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 12.3, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The
Borrower shall indemnify the Arranger, the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless, each Indemnitee from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnitee for, incurred by any
Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any

  
 -96-

 
Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents
presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party or
any Subsidiary thereof, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including, without limitation, any
Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a
party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim
brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and
nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (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 12.3 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, but without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank,
the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment 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), the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender 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), Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower and each other Credit
Party 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 Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee 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 by it 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.

 -97-

 SECTION 12.4 Right of Set Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender 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, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.
Each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender 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 12.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by,
construed and enforced in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof. 
 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive 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, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such 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 the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower and each other Credit Party 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 paragraph (b) of this Section 12.5. 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 12.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right
of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. 

  
 -98-

 SECTION 12.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) 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 12.6. 

SECTION 12.7 Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 12.8 Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages. 
 (a) The Borrower
recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower agrees that the
Lenders, at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against
any other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through
arbitration or judicially. 
 SECTION 12.9 Accounting Matters. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the
computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such
ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed
in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders Financial Statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder
setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

 SECTION 12.10 Successors and Assigns; Participations. 

(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 neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may 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 paragraph (b) of this
Section 12.10, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 12.10 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
paragraph (f) of this Section 12.10 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other
than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 12.10 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of
each of the Administrative Agent 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 its
Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 
 (A) in the case of an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be
assigned; and 
 (B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section 12.10, the
aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day; 

(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 Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned; 

  
 -100-

 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 12.10 and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or
(y) 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 5 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 for assignments in respect of the Revolver Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or
an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 
 (C) the consents of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline
Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding) or
for any assignment in respect of the Revolver Facility. 
 (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 of $3,500 for each assignment (provided, that only one such fee will be payable in connection
with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds by a Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. 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. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of
this Section 12.10, 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 4.8,
4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 12.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 12.10. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its
offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and 

  
 -101-

 
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption in compliance with the requirements of this Section together with any other documents or certificates required
to be delivered hereunder or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and including any fees payable with respect to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record it in the Register. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, 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 (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such 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 Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or
modification described in Section 12.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 12.10 . To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender.

 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 4.10 and 4.11 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. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 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 4.11(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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 -102-

 SECTION 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors and other 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, or required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, credit insurance provider or regulatory or similar 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 under this
Agreement or under any other Loan Document (or any Specified Hedging Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any Hedging Agreement with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, 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, Participant or proposed Participant or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with
the consent of the Borrower, (h) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, or (i) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.11 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (j) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative
Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates. For purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that,
in the case of information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section 12.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 12.12 Performance of Duties. Each of the Credit Party’s
obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense. 
 SECTION 12.13 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the
Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated. 

  
 -103-

 SECTION 12.14 Survival. 

(a) All representations and warranties set forth in Article VI and all representations and warranties contained in any
certificate, or any of the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All
representations and warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder. 

(b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled
under the provisions of this Article XII and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising
after such termination as well as before. 
 SECTION 12.15 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections
and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.16 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 12.17 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) 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. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or Lender Authorization by facsimile transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterparty hereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, 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. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and
those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be
deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning
thereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, 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. 
 (b) The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that
each covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant
contained in Articles VII, 

  
 -104-

 
VIII, IX or X, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VII,
VIII, IX or X. 
 (c) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 SECTION 12.18 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than (a) contingent
indemnification obligations not then due and (b) the Specified Hedge Obligations) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment has
been terminated. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such termination. 

SECTION 12.19 USA Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and Guarantor and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 12.20 Delivery of Lender
Authorization. Each initial Lender (other than any Lender whose name appears on the signature pages to this Agreement) shall become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Authorization duly executed by such
Lender.
