 ARTICLE II. THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 2.01 Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make
loans (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) to Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment;
provided, Aggregate Commitments shall not exceed $45,000,000 until such time as the Borrower has provided evidence of receipt of the Equity Injection after which time the Aggregate Commitments shall not exceed $60,000,000; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstanding shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, shall not exceed
such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow
under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans are Floating Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

2.02 Borrowings and Continuations of Committed Loans. 

(a) Each Committed Borrowing and each continuation of Committed Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Agent, which may be given
by telephone. Each such notice must be 
  

 14 

 
received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, three Business Days prior to the requested date of any such Borrowing or continuation
thereof, or (ii) in the case of a Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans on the requested date of any such Borrowing or continuation thereof provided, however, if the first Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans shall be on November 26, 2008, then
notice shall be received by not later than 2:00 p.m. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, which written delivery may be made electronically pursuant to Section 10.02(b). Each Borrowing of or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans only shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or
a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; Borrowings of or continuations of Floating Rate Loans shall be in minimum principal amounts of $75,000 provided however, that daily increases or decreases in the principal amount of the Floating Rate
Loan shall not be in increments of less than $75,000. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing or a continuation of Committed Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed or continued, and (iv) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period
with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Floating Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Floating Rate Loans shall be
effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to Floating Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest
Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a continuation is provided by Borrower, Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to
Floating Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not
later than 1:00 p.m. (or in the case of the first Borrowing on November 26, 2008 as referenced above, 3:00 p.m.) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Agent either by (i) crediting the account of
Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Agent by Borrower. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Committed Loan may be continued only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Committed Loan. During the
existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (d)
Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Committed Loans upon determination of such interest rate. 

2.03 Interest Rate. 
 (a)
Floating Rate. (i) The unpaid principal balance of the Loan from day to day outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Floating Rate. The “Floating Rate” for
any day shall mean a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate for that day plus the Applicable Margin. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days which have elapsed, on the basis of a 360-day year.

  

 15 

 (ii) BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate. The “BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate”
shall mean a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by Agent
from time to time) as determined for each Business Day at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days prior to the date in question, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with
a one month term, as adjusted from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for
business and dealing in offshore dollars. 
 (b) Interest Rate Elections. 

(i) Subject to the conditions and limitations in this Agreement, Borrower may by written notice to Agent request an Interest Rate
Election, which is a Request for Credit Extension in such amount that will bear interest at a Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period of one, two, three or six months (plus the Applicable Margin) as selected by the Borrower in its Committed Loan
Notice. 
 If, for any reason, an effective Interest Rate Election is not made in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement for any principal amount for which the corresponding Interest Period is expiring, then the sums in question will bear interest at the Floating Rate until an effective Interest Rate Election is thereafter made for such sums.

 (ii) General Conditions Precedent to Interest Rate Election. In addition to any other conditions herein, an Interest
Rate Election shall not be permitted if: 
 (A) The requested Interest Rate Election would cause more than five
(5) Interest Rate Elections by Borrower to be in effect at any one time during the term of the Agreement; or 
 (B) The
requested interest period does not conform to the definition of Interest Period herein; or 
 (C) Any of the circumstances
referred to in Section 2.08(c) hereof shall apply with respect to the requested Interest Rate Election. 
 (c) Applicable
Interest Rate Upon Failure of the Equity Injection. If the Borrower does not receive the Equity Injection by December 31, 2008, the Committed Loan(s) shall bear interest on the outstanding amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate
per annum equal to the applicable Floating Rate or Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin set forth in subsection (b) of the definition of Applicable Margin. 

(d) Alternative Rates. If the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or the Eurodollar Rate is not available for any reason, then such rate will be
determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by Agent. If Agent determines that no adequate basis exists for determining the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or the Eurodollar Rate or that the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or the
Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Agent of funding the Loan, or that any applicable Law or regulation or compliance therewith by Agent prohibits or restricts or makes impossible the charging of interest based on

  

 16 

 
the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or the Eurodollar Rate and Agent so notifies Borrower, then until Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist,
interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan from the date Agent so notifies Borrower until the Maturity Date (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise) at a fluctuating rate of interest equal
to the Federal Funds Rate plus two hundred fifty (250) basis points per annum. 
 (e) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is
not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
     (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by
Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

    (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal
amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

    (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon
demand. 
 (f) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other
times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

2.04 [RESERVED] 

2.05 Prepayments. 
 (a)
Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans issued as Floating Rate Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty. 

(b) If the Borrower has exercised an Interest Rate Election, even if such amount so advanced was initially a Floating Rate Loan, the Borrower shall pay
a prepayment fee which will be the sum of fees calculated separately for each Prepaid Installment, as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	The Bank will first determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month for the Prepaid Installment had it remained outstanding until the applicable
Original Payment Date, using the interest rate applicable to the Prepaid Installment under this Agreement. 

  

 17 

	 	(ii)	The Bank will then subtract from each monthly interest amount determined in (i), above, the amount of interest which would accrue for that Prepaid Installment if it
were reinvested from the date of prepayment through the Original Payment Date, using the Treasury Rate. 

  

	 	(iii)	If (i) minus (ii) for the Prepaid Installment is greater than zero, the Bank will discount the monthly differences to the date of prepayment by the Treasury
Rate. The Bank will then add together all of the discounted monthly differences for the Prepaid Installment. 

The following definitions will apply to the calculation of the prepayment fee: 

 

	 	(i)	“Original Payment Dates” mean the dates on which the prepaid principal would have been paid if there had been no prepayment. If any of the principal would
have been paid later than the end of the fixed rate interest period in effect at the time of prepayment, then the Original Payment Date for that amount will be the last day of the interest period. 

 

	 	(ii)	“Prepaid Installment” means the amount of the prepaid principal which would have been paid on a single Original Payment Date. 

 

	 	(iii)	“Treasury Rate” means the interest rate yield for U.S. Government Treasury Securities which the Bank determines could be obtained by reinvesting a specified
Prepaid Installment in such securities from the date of prepayment through the Original Payment Date. The Bank may adjust the Treasury Rate to reflect the compounding, accrual basis, or other costs of the prepaid amount. Each of the rates is the
Bank’s estimate only and the Bank is under no obligation to actually reinvest any prepayment. The rates will be based on information from either the Telerate or Reuters information services, The Wall Street Journal, or other information
sources the Bank deems appropriate. 

 Provided that (i) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00
a.m. three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; or if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed
Loans of Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 
 (c) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed
the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments and each
Loan Document, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction,
(ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto
and to 
  

 18 

 
any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the
Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments
shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 2.07 Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay to Lenders on
the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such date. 
 2.08 [RESERVED]

 2.09 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment
fee equal to thirty (30) basis points per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments (as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.01) exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed
Loans. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there
is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. 

(b) Agent’s Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the
letter agreement, dated November 26, 2008 (the “Agent Fee Letter”), between Borrower and Agent. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(c) Lenders’ Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages, an upfront fee in an amount of twenty-five (25) basis points times the $45,000,000 Aggregate Commitment due upon acceptance of the Commitment by the Borrower and payable on the Closing Date with an additional
fee of twenty-five (25) basis points times the $15,000,000 increase in the Aggregate Commitment which amount shall be due and payable upon the Equity Injection. If the Borrower fails to raise the Equity Offering by December 31, 2008, the
Borrower agrees to pay an additional fee of 50 basis points of the $45,000,000 Aggregate Commitment, such additional fee which amount shall be due and payable on January 2, 2009; provided, however, that such additional fee shall be reduced by
10 basis points for every $10,000,000 by which net proceeds of equity issuances exceed $20,000,000. If the Equity Offering is not raised by March 31, 2009, an additional 50 basis points of the $45,000,000 Aggregate Commitment shall be due and
payable on April 1, 2009. Such upfront fees are for the credit facilities committed by Lenders under this Agreement and are fully earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to each Lender is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable
for any reason whatsoever. 
  

 19 

 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be
made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear
interest for one day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

2.11 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained
by such Lender and by Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to 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 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 Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Agent,
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and
maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 2.12 Payments Generally; Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in
immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by
wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made
by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to Agent, then the
applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to
but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation,
plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the 

 

 20 

 
case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period,
Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed
Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. 

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

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in
the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof, Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (d)
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and to make payments under Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, or to make
any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make
its Committed Loan, or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c): 
 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

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

 

 21 

 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
 Each Loan 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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

3.01 Taxes. 
 (a)
Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by Borrower to or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrower or Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws
as determined by Borrower or Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 

(ii) If Borrower or Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and
withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below,
(B) Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Agent or Lender,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
 (b) Payment
of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws. 

(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrower shall, and does hereby,
indemnify Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by Borrower or Agent or paid by Agent or such Lender as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or 
  

 22 

 
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify Agent, and shall
make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such
payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify Borrower and
Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for Borrower or Agent) incurred by or asserted against Borrower or Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation
required to be delivered by such Lender to Borrower or Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any amount due to Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender the termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrower
or Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or by Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, Borrower shall deliver to Agent or Agent shall deliver to Borrower, as the case may be, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or Agent, as
the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and to Agent, at the time or times prescribed
by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information
as will permit Borrower or Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and
(C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s
status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, 
 (A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within
the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower and Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by
Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and 

 

 23 

 (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and 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 Borrower or Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(I) executed originals 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) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 

(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation, 

(IV) 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 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) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United
States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrower and Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid
any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that Borrower or Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue
on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If Agent or any Lender 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 Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent or such Lender , and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, 

 

 24 

 
agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Agent, any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential)
to Borrower or any other Person. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or, if such notice relates to the unlawfulness or asserted unlawfulness of charging interest based on the Eurodollar Rate, to make Base Rate Loans as to
which the interest rate is determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender and Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is
determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate to Base Rate Loans as to which the rate of interest is not determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and despite the illegality for such a
Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate, that Lender shall remain committed to make Base Rate Loans and shall be entitled to recover
interest at the Base Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

3.03 [RESERVED] 

3.04 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 credit extended by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); 

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender; 
  

 25 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay
on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any
Lender (with a copy to Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or 
 (b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow or continue any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; 
 including any loss of
anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar

  

 26 

 
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a
comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 3.06
Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

3.07 Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate
Commitments, and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of Agent. 
 ARTICLE IV. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT

 4.01 Conditions of Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of each Lender to make its initial
Credit Extension hereunder is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

disbursements of counsel to Agent (directly to such counsel if requested by Agent) to the extent invoiced prior to or on the Closing Date, plus such additional amounts of such fees, charges and disbursements as shall constitute its reasonable
estimate of such fees, charges and disbursements incurred or to be incurred by it through the closing proceedings (provided that such estimate shall not thereafter preclude a final settling of accounts between Borrower and Agent). 

(d) The Closing Date shall have occurred on or before December 2, 2008. 

(e) Agent shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to it, such other assurances, certificates, documents or consents related to the
foregoing as Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably may require. 
 Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the last sentence of
Section 9.03(d), for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be
satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its
objection thereto.

standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license; except in each case referred to in clause (b)(i), or (c), to the extent that

Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 5.04 Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document, when
delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan

 (a) The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered
thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness. 
 (b) Since the date of the
Audited Financial Statements, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower after due
and diligent investigation, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or revenues that (a) purport to
affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.06, either individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there has been no adverse change in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, of the matters described on Schedule 5.06. 

5.07 No Default. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is in default under or with respect to any Contractual
Obligation that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 5.08 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of Borrower and each Subsidiary has good
record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect in excess of $2,000,000. The property of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is subject to no Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 7.01. 

 

 30 

 5.09 Environmental Compliance. Borrower and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary
course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result
thereof Borrower has reasonably concluded that, except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.09, such Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 5.10 Insurance. The properties of Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies not Affiliates of Borrower, in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance compatible with the following standards), with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in
similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary operates. 
 5.11
Taxes. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, state and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges
levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in
accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax assessment against Borrower or any Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.12 ERISA Compliance. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other
such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and
other Federal or state Laws. To the best knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, a favorable determination letter from the IRS if the Borrower has applied for such qualification or has received such
qualification for each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect
to any Plan that could be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The postretirement benefit obligations (determined as of the last day of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been determined in accordance with GAAP and are reflected in
footnote 8 of the Borrower’s audited financial statements for its most recently ended fiscal year and in the Targets’ audited financial statements for its most recently ended fiscal year. 

5.13 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed in Part
(a) of Schedule 5.13, and all of the outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by a Loan Party in the amounts specified on Part (a) of Schedule
5.13 free and clear of all Liens. Borrower has no equity investments in any other corporation or entity other than those specifically disclosed in Part(b) of Schedule 5.13. All of the outstanding Equity Interests in Borrower have been
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. 
 5.14 No Margin Stock; Investment Company Act. Borrower is
not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin 

 

 31 

 
stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. None of Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is, or is
required to be registered as, an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 5.15
Disclosure. Borrower has disclosed to Agent and Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate,
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents
only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 
 5.16
Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such
instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.17 Taxpayer Identification
Number. Borrower’s true and correct U.S. taxpayer identification number is set forth on Schedule 10.02. 

5.18 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other
Person. To the best knowledge of Borrower, without investigation, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by Borrower or any Subsidiary
infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, without investigation, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Affiliates or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other

at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized Agent and the Lenders to treat such
Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials

good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except in a transaction permitted by Section 7.03; (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary or
desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) preserve or renew all of its registered patents, trademarks, trade names and
service marks, the non-preservation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 6.07 Maintenance of Insurance. The Borrower will insure and keep insured, and will cause every Subsidiary to insure
and keep insured, to a reasonable amount with reputable insurance companies, so much of their respective properties as companies engaged in a similar business and to the extent such companies, in accordance with good business practice, customarily
insure properties of a similar character 
  

 35 

 
against loss by fire and from other causes or, in lieu thereof, in the case of itself or its Subsidiaries, the Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained a system or systems of
self-insurance which will accord with the approved practices of companies owning or operating properties of a similar character and maintaining such systems, and of a size similar to that of the Borrower and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis. 
 6.08 Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and
all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, write, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted; or (b) the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, all at the
expense of Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower; provided, however, that when an Event of Default exists Agent or any
Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of Borrower at any time during normal business hours and without advance notice. 

6.11 Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions for working capital needs and interim capital expenditure funding,
but not for acquisitions, which use of proceeds shall not be in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document. In addition, promptly after the Closing Date, Borrower shall use the proceeds from the first Committed Borrowing hereunder to repay in
full all outstanding amounts under those commitments between (i) Borrower and RBS Citizens, N.A., and (ii) between Borrower and Bank of America (together, the “Existing Credit Agreements”), and upon such repayments terminate in
full the Existing Credit Agreements and deliver reasonable evidence of such termination to the Administrative Agent. 
 6.12

any Lien upon any of its properties or assets, real or personal, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or of or upon any income or profits therefrom, without making effective provision, and the Borrower covenants that in any such case it will
make or cause to be made effective provision, whereby the Committed Loans shall be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any and all other Indebtedness to be secured thereby, so long as any such other Indebtedness shall be so secured.

 38 

 (c) If at any time the Borrower or a Subsidiary shall create or assume any Lien not permitted by this
Section, to which the covenant in Section 7.01(a) is applicable, the Borrower will promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
provisions. 
 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include
the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business
with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 
  

 43 

 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations

 (a) shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (d) Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02
and 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to Agent by Borrower or a
Lender. 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

sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. 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, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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. 
  

 44 

 9.05 Delegation of Duties. 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 Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 
 9.06 Resignation of Agent. Agent may at any
time give notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Agent shall
notify 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 Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by
Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions
of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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. 
 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender holding a title listed on the cover page
hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent or a Lender hereunder. 

 

 45 

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

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that
are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent
and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS

 (e) Reliance by Agent and Lenders. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon
any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of
notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Agent may be recorded by Agent, and each of the parties hereto
hereby consents to such recording. 
 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies: Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or
Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges
provided by law. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to
enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and
maintained exclusively by, Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and
remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of
Section 2.13), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and
(ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies
available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 
 10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for 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), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent or any
Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agent or any Lender), (A) in connection with the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or
(B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 

 

 49 

 (b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee,
incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other Loan 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, or, in the
case of Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or
proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way
to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (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 Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such other Loan Party 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 Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a)
or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d). 
 (d) Waiver of
Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or
the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by
such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information 
  

 50 

 
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

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

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

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of 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 subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

 

 51 

 (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 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 Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender no minimum amount need be assigned;
and 
 (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to 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 Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from
members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 

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

(A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and 

(B) the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is
to a Person that is not a Lender, or an Affiliate of such Lender. 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500.00; provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee
in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No
Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 
  

 52 

 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and
10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of
this Section. 
 (c) Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, 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 Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment and/or the 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) Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights.
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Borrower is
notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 

 

 53 

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

(g) Deemed Consent of Borrower. If the consent of Borrower to an assignment to an assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an
assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in Section 10.06(b)(i)(B)), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered to
Borrower by the assigning Lender (through Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to such tenth (10) Business Day. 

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Agent and Lenders 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, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority,
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to
the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary 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 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include
material non-public information concerning Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public
information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 
  

 54 

 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees
to notify Borrower and 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. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. 
 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in
an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by
Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Agent or any 

 

 55 

 
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 
 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity
of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

10.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 

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

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS SITTING IN COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, 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 HAMPSHIRE 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 AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN 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. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN
SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
  

 56 

 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 10.15 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its Affiliates’
understanding that: (i) (A) the services regarding this Agreement provided by Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Agent, on the
other hand, (B) each of Borrower and their respective Affiliates have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of
evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as
expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) Agent
does not have any obligation to Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Agent
and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to
Borrower, any other Loan Party of any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waive and release, any claims that it may have against Agent with respect to any breach
or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

10.16 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) 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. 

 

 57 

 10.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act
(as hereinafter defined) and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the

	  		  	__________

 FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, UNITIL CORPORATION, a New Hampshire corporation with its principal place of business at 6 Liberty Lane West, Hampton, New Hampshire 03842 (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of
                    , a
                     bank organized under the laws of the United States with a place of business at
                     (the “Bank”) (the Bank and any subsequent transferee of this Note, whether taking by negotiation or otherwise,
are sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) at such place of business or such other place as may be designated hereafter by the holder hereof, the principal sum of
                     Dollars ($            ) (or so much thereof as
may be advanced or readvanced by the Bank to the Borrower from time to time hereafter, such amounts defined as the “Debit Balance” below), together with interest as provided for below, in lawful money of the United States of America in
immediately available funds. 
 This Note is being executed and delivered in accordance with the terms of a certain Credit
Agreement dated as of November     , 2008 between, among others, the Borrower and the Bank, as the same may have been and may hereafter be amended, modified or restated (the “Credit Agreement”) and the documents
defined therein as the “Loan Documents”. Any capitalized term used herein which is not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such term in the Credit Agreement. 

Until such time as this Note becomes due and payable, interest shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the applicable Interest
Period; provided however, that said interest payments for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be no less frequently than every month. All payments shall be in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The entire
principal balance of this Note, together with all interest and other charges accrued hereunder shall be due and payable in full on
                     (the “Maturity Date”). 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the maximum principal amount outstanding under this Note shall be
                     Dollars ($            ). Pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, there shall be due and payable from the Borrower to the Bank, and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank, without demand, any amount by which the Debit Balance exceeds
                     Dollars ($            ). 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall have the option (i) to elect that sums advanced
under this Note shall bear interest at a Floating Rate equal to the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or (ii) for up to five (5) Interest Rate Elections to be in effect at any one time during the term of the Loan,
bearing interest at a fixed rate equal to the one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) month Eurodollar Rate, plus the Applicable Rate. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and
the actual number of days elapsed. 
 The Borrower may only prepay the Note in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the interest rate hereunder, as aforesaid, violates any applicable usury or similar statute, the interest rate shall then automatically be deemed to be the highest rate of interest
then permitted. 
  

 B-1 

Form of Note 

 The Borrower agrees that the Bank may make loan advances to the Borrower upon verbal
authority (which, if the Bank so requires, shall be followed by written confirmation) of any officer executing this Note on behalf of the Borrower or any other officer of the Borrower who is authorized in writing to borrow money from the Bank and
may deliver such advances by direct deposit to any deposit account of the Borrower with the Bank or otherwise as so authorized in the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Bank may require written notice of requests
for loan advances as may be provided in the Credit Agreement. All such advances shall represent binding obligations of the Borrower. 

The Borrower’s “Debit Balance” shall mean the debit balance in an account on the books of the Bank, maintained in the form
of a ledger card, computer records or otherwise in accordance with the Bank’s customary practice and appropriate accounting procedures wherein there shall be recorded the principal amount of all advances made by the Bank to the Borrower, all
principal payments made by the Borrower to the Bank hereunder, and all other appropriate debits and credits (the “Loan Account”). The Bank shall render to the Borrower a statement of account with respect to the Loan Account on a monthly
basis. Such statement shall indicate the Borrower’s then current Debit Balance and any interest amounts due and payable from the Borrower to Bank. Such statement may be based on estimates of the principal amount outstanding and the interest
rate for the applicable payment period. Any required adjustments between such estimates and actual amounts shall be reflected in subsequent statements. 

The Borrower acknowledges that this Note is to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debit Balance, plus interest, as
determined from time to time and that it shall continue to do so despite the occurrence of intervals when no Debit Balance exists because the Borrower has paid the previously existing Debit Balance in full. 

At the option of the Bank, this Note shall become immediately due and payable in full, without further demand or notice, on the earlier
of (i) the Maturity Date, or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. 

If any amount of principal of the Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. If any amount (other than principal of
any Loan) payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection
hereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any foreclosure or other action is instituted by the Holder in its discretion. 

No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right, privilege or remedy shall impair such right, privilege or remedy
or be construed as a waiver thereof or of any other right, privilege or 
  

 B-2 

Form of Note 

 
remedy. No waiver of any right, privilege or remedy or any amendment to this Note shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the Holder. Under no circumstances shall an effective
waiver of any right, privilege or remedy on any one occasion constitute or be construed as a bar to the exercise of or a waiver of such right, privilege or remedy on any future occasion. The acceptance by the Holder of any payment after any default
hereunder shall not operate to extend the time of payment of any amount then remaining unpaid hereunder or constitute a waiver of any rights of the Holder hereof under this Note. 

All agreements between the Borrower and the Bank are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Bank for the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under
applicable law. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then
this Note shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of Borrower and the Bank in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Note to contract in strict compliance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of the Credit Agreement at the time of performance of such provision shall be due,
shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from any circumstances whatsoever the Bank should
ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This
provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between the Borrower and the Bank. 
 The Borrower waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment, notice, protest and all other demands and notices and assents (1) to any extension of the time of payment or any other indulgence, and (2) to the release of any other person primarily or
secondarily liable for the obligations evidenced hereby. 
 This Note and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be construed and their provisions interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law). The Borrower, to the extent it may legally do so, hereby
consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts from which an appeal may be taken from such
courts for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of any of their obligations hereunder or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and expressly waive any and all objections they may have to venue in any such
courts. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF BANK RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE
THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN 

 

 B-3 

Form of Note 

 
WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, ENHANCED COMPENSATORY, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. THE BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF BANK HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT BANK WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BANK TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND MAKE THE LOAN. 

The Bank may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents including any portion of the Revolving Credit
Promissory Note to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or enforcement thereof shall release the Bank from its obligations under any
of the Loan Documents. 
 This Note and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Borrower’s heirs,
administrators, executors, successors, legal representatives and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder, the Holder’s heirs, administrators, executors, successors, legal representatives and assigns. 

This Note may not be amended, changed or modified in any respect except by a written document which has been executed by each party. This
Note shall constitute a contract under seal in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and performance, shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower, acting by and through its duly authorized officer, has executed this
Promissory Note as of this          day of November, 2008.

WHEREAS, effective [date], 2008, Unitil acquired Northern Utilities, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (“Northern”), and
Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (“Granite”); and 
 WHEREAS, Unitil, [IFS, FGE, UPC,

NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency :s hereby acknowledged by each Party to the others, the Parties hereto agree as follows. 

Section 1. Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Cash Pooling Agreement and unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, the
following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined). 

“Advance” means an advance from the Cash Pool pursuant to Section 3 hereof and refers to a Bank Advance or a

 “Bank Advance” means an Advance of Bank Borrowings. 

“Bank Borrowings” means bank borrowings made by Unitil and contributed to the Cash Pool. 

“Business Day” means a day of the year on which banks are not required or authorized to close in Boston, Massachusetts.

 “Cash Pool” means the pool of cash, comprising Surplus Funds and Bank Borrowings, from which Advances are
made. 
 “Surplus Advance” means an Advance of Surplus Funds. 

“Surplus Funds” means surplus funds contributed to the Cash Pool by the Parties. 

Section 2. Contributions to the Cash Pool. Funds contributed to the Cash Pool will he deposited in one or more common bank
deposit accounts established and maintained for the 
  

 2 

 
Cash Pool. Each Party shall have an independent withdrawal authority with respect to the funds which it has contributed to the Cash Pool and any earnings attributable to such funds which are pot
funding an outstanding Advance. 
 Section 3. Advances. (a) Each Party, except Unitil, may request Advances
from the Cash Pool from time to time during the period from the date hereof until this Cash Pooling Agreement is terminated by written agreement of the Parties; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Advances to be
requested by any Party hereunder shall not exceed the applicable borrowing limits, if any, established by such Party’s Board of Directors and any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Party or established pursuant to any agreement
binding upon such Party. 
 (b) To the extent possible, Advances will be made first from Surplus Funds and second from Bank
Borrowings. 
 (c) Surplus Advances will be made on a pro rata basis from the Surplus Funds contributed to the Cash Pool by each

Section 4. Interest on Advances. (a) Each Party receiving an Advance shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
of such Advance to the Cash Pool from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full. The interest rate applicable on any day to Surplus Advances shall be the daily rate of interest applicable to loans to Unitil by the
bank designated from time to time by Unitil as its “lead bank”. The interest rate applicable on any day to Bank Advances shall be calculated to produce an aggregate interest charge on all such Bank Advances, at a rate which shall be
uniform for all such Bank Advances, equal to the net cost to Unitil of the Bank Borrowings used to fund such Bank Advances on such day. 

(b) The benefits, and/or costs and fees, of any hedging instruments entered into by a lending Party with respect to funds contributed to
the Cash Pool hereunder will be passed through to each Party borrowing those funds through the Cash Pool as part of, and pursuant to the same allocation method as, interest charges calculated hereunder. Therefore, on a monthly basis, the income

of all Advances for such calendar month. 
 Section 5. Repayment of Advances. Each Party receiving an Advance shall
repay the principal amount of such Advance to the Cash Pool, together with all interest accrued thereon, within 365 days of the date on which such Advance was made, unless such day on which payment is due is not a Business Day, in which case such
payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day. 
 Section 6. Bank Fees. During the first year of this Cash
Pooling Agreement the costs of compensating balances, commitment fees and fees paid to banks to maintain bank accounts and credit lines for purposes of Bank Advances shall be allocated provisionally among the Parties at the discretion of Service
Corp. In each year thereafter such costs and lives shall be allocated 
  

 3 

 
provisionally to each Party on a pro rata basis in the proportion which each Party’s aggregate principal amount of Advances for the prior calendar year bore to the aggregate principal amount
of all Advances for such prior calendar year. Such costs and fees shall be retroactively reallocated at the end of each calendar year on a pro rata basis in the proportion which each Party’s aggregate principal amount of Advances for such
calendar year bore to the aggregate principal amount of all Advances for such calendar year. 
 Section 7. Event of
Default. If any Party shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be
instituted by or against any Party seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, then the other parties may declare the unpaid principal amount of any Advances to such party, and all interest thereon, to be forthwith due and payable and all such
amounts shall forthwith become due and payable. 
 Section 8. Amendments, Waivers. This Cash Pooling Agreement may
not be modified or amended in any respect except in writing executed by the Parties. No provision of this Cash Pooling Agreement shall be deemed waived unless such waiver is set forth in writing and executed by the Party making such waiver.

 Section 9. Legal Responsibility. Nothing herein contained shall render any Party liable for the obligations of
any other Party hereunder and the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Parties are several in accordance with their respective obligations, and not joint. 

Section 10. Records and Administration. Service Corp. shall be responsible for the administration of this Cash Pooling
Agreement and for ensuring that all relationships and arrangements between the Parties hereunder are in compliance with the authorization and any applicable limitations of Report and Supplemental Order No. 17,373 and Order No. 18,416 of

to Advances outstanding at any time hereunder, shall maintain records of all Advances, interest charges and accruals and interest and principal payments for purposes hereof, and shall prepare regular reports thereof for the Parties. 

Section 11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
