Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank

Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable. 

  
 S-46

the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
  

	 	(i)	the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect
to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurodollar Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar

other creditors that hold senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks pari passu with the Liens that secure the Obligations (solely to the extent a mandatory prepayment, redemption or
offer to redeem is required for such senior Indebtedness pursuant to the applicable financing agreements governing such senior Indebtedness) so that the Loans and any such senior secured Indebtedness requiring such prepayment or redemption are
prepaid or redeemed on a pro rata basis. Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be applied to the remaining installments of the Term Loans (or applicable Class(es) of Term Loans) being prepaid as the Borrower may
direct. 
 (d) Not later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the annual financial statements are, or are required to be,
delivered under Section 5.02(a) with respect to each Excess Cash Flow Period, if and to the extent the amount of such Excess Cash Flow is greater than $0, the Borrower shall apply an amount to prepay Term
B-1 Loans equal to (i) the Required Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the sum of (x) prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) during such fiscal year,
(y) purchases of Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 and Section 9.04(b)(v) by the Borrower during such fiscal year (determined by the actual cash purchase price paid by the Borrower for any such purchase and

  
 S-49 

 
not the par value of the Loans purchased by Borrower) and (z) voluntary prepayments of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks pari
passu with the Liens that secure the Obligations during such fiscal year, in each case, except to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness and, in the case of any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to
Section 2.08(a), only to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of Revolving Commitments on a dollar-for-dollar basis. 

(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (as confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder
(i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of such prepayment, and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another credit
facility, the closing of a securities offering or other transaction or (in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08(b)) receipt (or deemed receipt in accordance with the definition thereof) of Net Proceeds, in which case such notice
may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the Class of Loans to be prepaid, the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply
fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.08. Prepayments shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10. 
 SECTION 2.09 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date such Revolving
Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. All
commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Revolving Commitment
of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender. 

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Lender a
participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure of
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including 

  
 S-50 

 
the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as
the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each
Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the
date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within
10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts
and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable
hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of ticking fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.10 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Default Interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal amounts, 2% per annum above the interest rate otherwise applicable thereto
pursuant to this Section 2.10 and (ii) in the case of other overdue amounts, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (d)
Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the applicable Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of
this Section shall be payable on demand; (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the
event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference
to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 S-51 

 SECTION 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest
Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.12 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 or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; 

  

	 	(ii)	result in any increase in Tax to any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.14 and any Excluded Taxes); or 

 

	 	(iii)	impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
participation therein; 

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

  
 S-52 

 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in
Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made
by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if
any, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due hereunder within 15 days after receipt of any such certificate. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

(e) Termination. If any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the Borrower shall
have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to terminate its Commitment (if outstanding) and to pay such Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest
accrued to the day of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder (including under Section 2.13); provided that no such termination shall conflict with any law,
rule, or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority. 
 SECTION 2.13 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified by the Borrower in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under
Section 2.08(e) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(b) or Section 2.12(e) of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for its loss, cost and expense (excluding lost profits) attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to
any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for
the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day 

  
 S-53 

 
of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or
continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such
Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A
certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount due hereunder within 15 days after receipt of any such certificate. 
 SECTION 2.14 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding
agent) to deduct and withhold any Taxes, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or an Other Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by the Borrower as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.14) each Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be (or, in the case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 
 (b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower
shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on
or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any Other Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable
after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) (i) Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax (including backup
withholding Tax), with respect to any payment under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time or 

  
 S-54 

 
times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to permit such payments to be made without such withholding Tax or at a reduced rate. Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor
Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14(e). 
 (ii) Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or
Issuing Bank becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is legally eligible to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (I) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party, 
 (II) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 
 (III) in the case of a Foreign Lender or Issuing
Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit F-1, or any other form
approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are
effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms), 

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender or
Issuing Bank is a partnership, or a participating Lender granting a typical participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by a Form
W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit F-2, Exhibit F-3 or Exhibit F-4, as applicable, Form W-9, and/or
other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender
or Issuing Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank shall provide a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit F-3, on behalf
of such beneficial owner(s) (in lieu of requiring each beneficial owner to provide such certificate); and 
 (V) any other
form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

  
 S-55 

 (iii) If a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, determine whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from
such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. 

(iv) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding. 

Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s circumstances renders any
such forms, certificates or other documentation so delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, promptly (1) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor documentation (including any new documentation reasonable requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and duly executed by such
Lender or Issuing Bank, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s status or that such Lender or Issuing Bank is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction in any applicable withholding Tax or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its legal ineligibility to deliver any such forms, certificates or other documentation. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14(e), a Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to deliver any documentation
that such Lender or Issuing Bank is not legally eligible to deliver. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.14, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing
Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.14(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential in its reasonable discretion) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

  
 S-56 

 (g) Solely for purposes of FATCA, this Agreement and all Loans made hereunder (including any
Revolving Loans) have, at all times, not qualified as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “applicable law” in this Section 2.14 includes FATCA. 

SECTION 2.15 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, or otherwise), or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 pm,
New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at the address provided pursuant to Section 9.01, except as otherwise expressly provided in
the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 9.03, which shall be made directly
to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or other action to
be taken by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment or action shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting (A) a
specific payment of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.08), or (C) proceeds of any Collateral, or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct to exercise remedies in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents, shall be applied, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. For the avoidance of
doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.15(b), unreimbursed LC Disbursements shall be treated the same as principal then due hereunder. 

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to transactions
contemplated by Section 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 or 9.04(b)(v)): (i) each Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.09 shall be made for account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or
reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.06 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments of the
applicable Class; (ii) each Borrowing of a Class shall be allocated pro rata among the 

  
 S-57 

 
Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such
Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective
unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of
interest on such Loans of such Class then due and payable to the respective Lenders. 
 (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: 

 

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

  

	 	(ii)	the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
pursuant to transactions contemplated by Section 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 or 9.04(b)(v) and including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15(d) shall
apply, unless pursuant to Section 2.20 or 9.04(b)(v)). 

 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the
case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 S-58 

 (f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any
payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 2.15(e) or 2.22(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 

SECTION 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to
indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, 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 2.12 or Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b)
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 2.14, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender shall withhold its consent (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) to any amendment, waiver or other
modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender and that has been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

 

	 	(i)	the Borrower or applicable assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.04; 

 

	 	(ii)	such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

  

	 	(iii)	in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments thereafter; 

  

	 	(iv)	such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; 

  
 S-59 

	 	(v)	in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or
modification. 

 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.16, it shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any promissory notes issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans; provided that
the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register. 

SECTION 2.17 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) commitment fees
shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a); 

(b) the Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all
Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all
Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 

(c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures and LC Exposure does not exceed the
total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall
within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to
any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to
Section 2.17(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
is cash collateralized; 

  
 S-60 

 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the
non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17(c), then the fees otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Facility; and 

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to
Section 2.17(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion
of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank
until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 
 (d) so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders
and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and 

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and
including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(d) but excluding Section 2.16(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative
Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to such Issuing Bank hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an
Issuing Bank, to be held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender of any participating interest in any Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral
for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or an Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender or such Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements for which
a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations
owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender. 

  
 S-61 

 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on
such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

Subject to Section 9.15, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting
Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 SECTION 2.18 Extensions of Loans. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all
Lenders of any Class of Loans or Commitments on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Loans or Commitments of such Class), and on the same terms to each such Lender (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”),
the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders that agree to such transactions from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify
the terms of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s
Loans and/or, with respect to Term Loans, modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean that all of the Loans or
Commitments of such Class are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to
between the Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Other Loan for such Lender (such extended Loan, an “Extended Loan”) or another
Class of commitments for such Lender (such extended Commitment, an “Extended Commitment”). Each Pro Rata Extension Offer shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Extended Loan shall be made, which shall be
a date not earlier than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). 

(b) The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (an
“Extension Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Commitments or Extended Loans of such Extending Lender. Each Extension Amendment shall specify the
terms of the applicable Extended Commitments or Extended Loans; provided that (i) the terms applicable to such Extended Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates and any other pricing
terms and, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment (with respect to Term Loans), amortization (with respect to Term Loans) or redemption terms or final maturity date, which shall be as agreed
between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Extended Loans) shall (when taken as a whole and as determined by the Borrower in good faith) be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Borrower than, the terms, taken as
a whole, applicable to the existing Class of Loans or Commitments being extended (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Maturity Date then in effect of the existing Class of Loans being
extended or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Loans and Extended Commitments shall be no earlier than ninety-one (91) days
after the Latest Maturity Date in effect with respect to such Class as such offer relates on the date of incurrence, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans and Extended

  
 S-62 

 
Commitments shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Loans to which such offer relates, (iv) any Extended Loans in the form of Term Loans
may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Initial Term Loans and the Term B-1 Loans in any mandatory prepayment
hereunder, and (v) before and after giving effect to the Extension Amendment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended without the consent of
any other Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Loans or Extended Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.02. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized
in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 

(c) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Loan or Commitments will be automatically designated
an Extended Loan or Extended Commitments. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (including without limitation this Section 2.18), (i) no Extended Loan is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Loans or Commitments pursuant
to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Loan or Extended Commitments), (iii) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or
Commitments at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Loan implemented thereby, (iv) all Extended Loans and Extended Commitments and all obligations in respect
thereof shall be Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that rank equally and ratably in right of security with all other Obligations of the Class being extended, and (v) there shall be no borrower
(other than the Borrowers) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of any such Extended Loans or Extended Commitments. 

(e) Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided, that the
Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding
and other adjustments. 
 SECTION 2.19 Refinancing Amendments. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or
more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”), all cash proceeds from the incurrence, issuance or sale by the Borrower of which Refinancing Term Loans, net of all taxes paid or
reasonably estimated to be payable, directly or indirectly, as a result thereof and fees (including investment banking fees, underwriting fees and discounts), commissions, costs and other expenses, in each case incurred in connection with such
incurrence, issuance or sale, are used to Refinance in whole or in part any Loans (or one or more Class(es) of Loans). Each such notice shall specify the applicable Class(es) of Loans being refinanced and the date (each, a “Refinancing
Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent
(or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date: 

  
 S-63 

 (A) the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of any such representations and warranty that expressly relates to an earlier given date or period, in which case such representation and warranty
shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the respective earlier date or respective period, as the case may be); and 

(B) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
  

	 	(ii)	the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the refinanced Loans; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the refinanced Loans; 

 

	 	(iv)	the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced Loans plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including original
issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith; 

  

	 	(v)	all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates and any other pricing terms and optional prepayment, mandatory
prepayment, amortization or redemption terms, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) shall (when taken as a whole and as determined by the Borrower in good faith) be substantially similar
to, or not materially less favorable to the Borrower than, the terms (taken as a whole) applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date then
in effect or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided that any Refinancing Term Loans that are unsecured or rank junior in right of security to the Initial Term Loans and the Term B-1 Loans shall not have scheduled amortization commencing prior to the Latest Maturity Date other than at a nominal rate; 

  

	 	(vi)	with respect to Refinancing Term Loans secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank junior in right of security to the Initial Term Loans and Term B-1 Loans, such Liens will be
subject to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement; 

  

	 	(vii)	there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrower) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans (unless such other borrower or guarantor provides a Guarantee of the
Obligations on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent substantially concurrently with the making of such Refinancing Term Loans); 

  

	 	(viii)	Refinancing Term Loans shall not be secured by any asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral (or assets that become Collateral substantially concurrently with the making of such Refinancing
Term Loans); and 

  
 S-64 

	 	(ix)	Refinancing Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the
applicable Refinancing Amendment. 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may by
written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional facilities (“Replacement Revolving Facilities”) providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Commitments” and the revolving
loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”), which replace in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Commitments under this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving
Facility Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to
the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided, that: (i) before and after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Commitments on the
Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the
aggregate amount of any other Revolving Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Facility
Effective Date plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including original issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith; (iii) no Replacement Revolving Commitments shall have a final maturity date (or require
commitment reductions or amortizations) prior to the Revolving Facility Commitment Termination Date for the Revolving Commitments being replaced; (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions
relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving
Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between the applicable Borrower, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, the
Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Commitments) taken as a whole shall (as determined by the applicable Borrower in good faith) be substantially similar to, or no more restrictive to the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries than, those applicable to the Revolving Commitments so replaced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Commitments in
effect at the time of incurrence or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); and (v) there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrowers) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of such Replacement
Revolving Facility; and (vi) Replacement Revolving Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder shall not be secured by any asset of Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral. Solely to the extent that an Issuing Bank is not a
replacement issuing bank under a Replacement Revolving Facility, it is understood and agreed that such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any letters of credit under such Replacement Revolving Facility and, to the extent it is necessary for
such Issuing Bank to withdraw as an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, at the time of the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility, such withdrawal shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank in its sole
discretion. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank in full upon demand, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost or expense attributable to such
withdrawal. 
 (c) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted assignee pursuant to Section 9.04
to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments; provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments may
elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Loan or Replacement Revolving Commitments. Any Refinancing 

  
 S-65 

 
Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided,
further, that any Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment governing such Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments, be designated as an
increase in any previously established Class of Loans made to the Borrower. 
 (d) Any Borrower and each Lender providing the applicable
Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Commitments (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (a “Refinancing Amendment”) and such other documentation as the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Commitments (as applicable). For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if a Lender is providing a Refinancing Term
Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have an Other Term Loan having the terms of such Refinancing Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this
Section 2.19), (i) no Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) there shall be no condition to any incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan or
Replacement Revolving Commitment at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in clauses (a) or (b) above, as applicable, and (iii) all Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Commitments and all obligations in
respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that rank equally and ratably in right of security with the Initial Term Loans, the Term B-1 Loans and other Obligations
(other than Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments that rank junior in right of security, and except to the extent any such Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments are secured by the Collateral on a junior
lien basis in accordance with the provisions above). Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended without the consent of any other Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the
existence and terms of the Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.02. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the
Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 
 SECTION 2.20 Loan
Repurchases. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, the Borrower may from time to time, at its
discretion, conduct modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase its Term Loans of one or more Classes (as determined by the Borrower) (each, a “Purchase Offer”), each such Purchase Offer to be managed exclusively by the
Administrative Agent (or such other financial institution chosen by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

  

	 	(i)	each Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.20 and the Auction Procedures; 

 

	 	(ii)	no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each notice of an auction and at the time of (and immediately after giving effect to) the purchase of any Term Loans in connection
with any Purchase Offer; 

  

	 	(iii)	the principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of each and all Classes of Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Purchase Offer shall be no less than $50,000,000 (unless another amount
is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (across all such Classes); 

  
 S-66 

	 	(iv)	the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower
on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold) (without any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of any gains associated with cancellation of debt), and in no event shall the Borrower be entitled to any vote hereunder
in connection with such Term Loans; 

  

	 	(v)	no more than one Purchase Offer with respect to any Class may be ongoing at any one time; 

  

	 	(vi)	no Purchase Offer may be made with the proceeds of the Revolving Facility and at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through a Purchase Offer, there must be at least $500,000,000 of unborrowed commitments under the
Revolving Facility; provided that this clause (vi) shall not be applicable if, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of such Purchase Offer, all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued
and payable) shall have been paid in full and any commitment of any Lender hereunder to extend credit to the Borrower shall have terminated or expired; 

  

	 	(vii)	at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through a Purchase Offer, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of a Financial Officer certifying as to compliance with the
preceding clause (vi); and 

  

	 	(viii)	any Purchase Offer with respect to any Class shall be offered to all Lenders holding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis. 

(b) The Borrower must terminate any Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to
be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Purchase Offer. If the Borrower commences any Purchase Offer (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at
the time of the commencement of such Purchase Offer have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the
consummation of such Purchase Offer shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of such Purchase Offer as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are
required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Purchase Offer, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans of any
Class or Classes made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering
documents), if any, on the purchased Loans of the applicable Class or Classes up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each
case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.08 hereof. 

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.20; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall have an obligation 

  
 S-67 

 
to participate in any such Purchase Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 9.04 will not apply to the purchases of Term Loans
pursuant to Purchase Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.20. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article VIII and
Section 9.03 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the
Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Purchase Offer. 
 SECTION 2.21
Increase in Commitments. 
 (a) Borrower Request. Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request
the establishment of one or more new Term Commitments (each an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) or, prior to the Revolving Facility Commitment Termination Date, one or more increases in the Revolving Commitments (any such
increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”); provided that, on the date on which such Incremental Term Loan
Commitment is established, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness, Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments incurred from and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall not exceed
the Incremental Amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less
than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each person (which much be a person to whom Loans are permitted to be assigned pursuant to Section 9.04(b)) to whom
the Borrower proposes any portion of such increased or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or
decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment. 
 (b) Conditions. The increased or new Commitments
shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	The Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request as required by Section 2.03; 

  

	 	(ii)	each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower set forth in Article III hereof or in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of Increase Effective Date
(except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and, to the extent such representations and warranties are
qualified as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar language, such representations shall be true and correct in all respects); provided, that, in the case of Incremental Term Loans incurred to make an acquisition or other
investment permitted to be made hereunder, such representations and warranties to be made on the Increase Effective Date shall be limited to the Specified Representations and the “acquisition agreement representations” (or similar
representations) conformed as appropriate for such transaction; 

  

	 	(iii)	no Default (or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans incurred to make an acquisition or other investment permitted hereunder no Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i)) shall have occurred
and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date; and 

  
 S-68 

	 	(iv)	the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. 

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be, except as
otherwise set forth herein or in the Increase Joinder, identical to (i) the Term B-1 Loans (“Incremental Term B Loans”) or (ii) the Initial Term Loans
(“Incremental Term A Loans,” and, together with any Incremental Term B Loan, the “Incremental Term Loans”) (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be part of an existing Class of Term
Loans); provided that (i) the final maturity date of (x) all Incremental Term B Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Term B-1 Loans then in effect and
(y) all Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Term Loans then in effect, (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all (x) Incremental Term B Loans shall not be
shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Term B-1 Loans and (y) Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all existing
Initial Term Loans, (iii) Incremental Term Loans shall not participate on a greater than pro rata basis with the Term Loans in any mandatory prepayments hereunder (other than scheduled amortization payments), (iv) the All-in Yield for (x) the new Incremental Term A Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and (y) the new Incremental Term B Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the
applicable new Lenders, except that the All-in Yield in respect of any such Incremental Term B Loans may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of the Term B-1 Loans by no more than 0.50%, or if it does so exceed such All-in Yield (such difference, the “Term Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Rate (or the
“Adjusted LIBO Rate floor” as provided in the following proviso) applicable to such Term B-1 Loans shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the Term Yield Differential shall
not exceed 0.50%; provided that to the extent any portion of the Term Yield Differential is attributable to a higher “Adjusted LIBO Rate floor” being applicable to such Incremental Term B Loans, such floor shall only be included in
the calculation of the Term Yield Differential to the extent such floor is greater than the Adjusted LIBO Rate in effect for an Interest Period of three months’ duration at such time, and, with respect to such excess, the “Adjusted LIBO
Rate floor” applicable to the outstanding Term B-1 Loans shall be increased to an amount not to exceed the “Adjusted LIBO Rate floor” applicable to such Incremental Term B Loans prior to any
increase in the Applicable Rate applicable to such Term B-1 Loans then outstanding, and (v) all other terms applicable to such Incremental Term Loans (other than those specified in clauses (i)
through (v) above) shall not be more restrictive (taken as a whole) than those applicable to the Revolving Facility, Initial Term Loans or Term B-1 Loans, except to the extent (a) this Agreement
shall be modified to grant the Revolving Facility, Initial Term Loans and Term B-1 Loans the benefit of such more restrictive provisions, (b) applicable solely to periods after the Latest Maturity Date in
effect at the time of incurrence or issuance of such Incremental Term Loans or (c) as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. The terms of any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be the same as those of the
Revolving Commitment or any Extended Commitment; provided that any Replacement Revolving Commitment may have a later maturity date than, and pricing and fees different from, those applicable to the Revolving Commitment and Extended
Commitment. 
 The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed
by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if a Lender is providing an
Incremental Term Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have an Other Loan having the terms of such Incremental Term Loan. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative 

  
 S-69 

 
Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the
context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans and Loans under any Incremental Revolving Commitment, made pursuant to this Agreement. 

(d) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. If any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit shall be outstanding on the relevant Increase Effective
Date, the Borrower shall have borrowed Revolving Loans from each of the Lenders providing Incremental Revolving Commitments on the Increase Effective Date, and such Lenders shall have made Revolving Loans to the Borrower (in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, with Interest Period(s) ending on the date(s) of any then outstanding Interest Period(s)) and shall be deemed to have acquired participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit, and (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.15
requiring that borrowings and prepayments be made ratably in accordance with the principal amounts of the Loans held by the Lenders) the Borrower in coordination with the Administrative Agent shall have taken such actions, including, if necessary,
prepaying Loans held by the other Revolving Lenders (together with accrued interest thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 as a result of such payment) in such amounts as may be necessary so that after giving effect to such
Revolving Loans, purchases and prepayments the Revolving Loans (and Interest Period(s) of Eurodollar Loan(s)) and the LC Exposure shall be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of their Revolving
Commitments (as so increased) and, in that connection, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have released any Revolving Lenders so deemed to have sold participations in outstanding Letters of Credit on the date of such replacement from
such sold participation. If there is a new borrowing of Revolving Loans on such Increase Effective Date, the Revolving Lenders after giving effect to such Increase Effective Date shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with
Section 2.01(b). 
 (e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall
constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security
interests created by the Collateral Documents, except that the new Loans may be subordinated in right of payment or the Liens securing the new Loans may be subordinated, in each case, as set forth in the Increase Joinder. The Loan Parties and
Pledgors shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving
effect to the establishment of any such Class of Loans or any such new Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.22 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Revolving Loans provided for in
Section 2.01(b), the Borrower may request an Issuing Bank to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, Letters of Credit for its own account in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be

  
 S-70 

 
amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which
shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating
to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such
Issuing Bank now or hereafter applicable to letters of credit generally (including, for the avoidance, with respect to whether such Issuing Bank may issue trade and commercial letters of credit). 

(c) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (A) (and upon issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that) immediately after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed
$150,000,000, (ii) the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank does not exceed its Letter of Credit Sublimit (unless such Issuing Bank agrees to do so in its sole discretion) and (iii) the total Revolving Credit
Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, and (B) the Issuing Bank shall not have received written notice from the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Required Lenders) at least one Business Day prior to the
requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension that one or more of the conditions contained in Section 4.02 shall not be satisfied with respect thereto. 

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve
months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Commitment Termination Date; provided, that a Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic
renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (but shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above). 

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by an
Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of an Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations and fund ABR Loans pursuant to this sentence of this clause (e) and the next sentence hereof in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments. 

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the applicable Issuing Bank promptly upon the request of the applicable Issuing Bank at any time
from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each such payment shall be deemed to be an ABR
Loan by such Revolving Lender and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving
Lender (and Section 

  
 S-71 

 
2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it
from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or,
to the extent that the Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. 

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the
applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives
notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such
time. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. The Borrower’s obligations under this clause (f) shall be satisfied to the extent of the making of ABR Loans under clause (e) above. 

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any
error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of an Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent
of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by any Issuing Bank’s failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an
Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that: 

 

	 	(i)	The applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice
or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 

  
 S-72 

	 	(ii)	The applicable Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; and 

  

	 	(iii)	this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the applicable Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and
the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing). 

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all
documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the applicable
Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving
Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (i) Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to
but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement (including through the making of ABR Loans as
contemplated above), when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.10(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(j) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing
Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(k) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice
from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant 

  
 S-73 

 
to this paragraph, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent, which account may be a “securities
account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an
amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately
due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 
 The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense (provided that absent the Borrower’s express written agreement, the only such investments will be in cash equivalent investments), such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed
and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with
LC Exposure representing 100% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (together with all interest or profits, if any, thereon) within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 

(l) Resignation. Subject to the consent of the Borrower, any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit. 

ARTICLE III 
 REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES 
 The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders that: 

SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers; Governmental Approvals. 

(a) The Borrower and each Principal Subsidiary (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent the concept is
applicable in such jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and (iii) is qualified to do
business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 S-74 

 (b) Each Loan Party’s and each Pledgor’s execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party are within its corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action. Each of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party or Pledgor is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party or Pledgor, enforceable against such Loan Party or Pledgor in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other
laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing). 

(c) Each Loan Party’s and each Pledgor’s execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not
violate or create a default under (i) applicable law, (ii) its constituent documents, or (iii) any contractual provision binding upon it, except to the extent (in the case of violations or defaults described under clauses (i) or
(iii)) such violation or default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and would not have an adverse effect on the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and would
not materially adversely affect any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(d) Except for (i) any Governmental Approvals required in connection with any Borrowing (such approvals being “Borrowing
Approvals”) and (ii) any Governmental Approvals the failure to obtain which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
all Governmental Approvals required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Loan Parties and the Pledgors of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which each is a party and the performance by the Loan Parties and the Pledgors
of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder have been, and, prior to the time of any Borrowing, all Borrowing Approvals will be, duly obtained, are (or, in the case of Borrowing Approvals, will be) in full force and effect without
having been amended or modified in any manner that may impair the ability of the Loan Parties or the Pledgors to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and are not (or, in the case of Borrowing
Approvals, will not be) the subject of any pending appeal, stay or other challenge. 
 SECTION 3.02 Financial Statements. The
Borrower has furnished its most recent filings with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Such Forms 10-K and 10-Q do not, as of the dates specified therein or for the periods covered thereby, as applicable, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make any statement
therein, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not materially misleading as of such dates or for such periods, as applicable, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made. Each of the financial statements in
such Forms 10-K and 10-Q has been, and each of the most recent financial statements to be furnished pursuant to Section 5.02 will be, prepared in accordance with
GAAP applied consistently with prior periods (subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments), except as therein noted and
except for changes in FASB ASC 840, and fairly presents or will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and the results of the operations of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries for the period then ended. 
 SECTION 3.03 No Material Adverse Change. Since the date of the Borrower’s
most recent financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, there has been no material adverse change in, and there has occurred no event or
condition which is likely to result in a material adverse change in, the financial condition, results of operations, business, assets or operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole (it being understood that the consummation of
an Asset Exchange shall not constitute such a material adverse change). 

  
 S-75 

 SECTION 3.04 Titles to Properties; Possession Under Leases. 

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Principal Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or other rights to
use or occupy, all its properties and assets, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except as
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens securing Indebtedness, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.01. 

(b) Each of the Borrower and the Principal Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and
all such leases are in full force and effect, except where such failure to comply or maintain such leases in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed
possession under all such material leases except where such failure would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.05 Ownership
of Subsidiaries. The Borrower owns, directly or indirectly, free and clear of any Lien (other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.01 or 6.02), all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of each of the Principal

in accordance with CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that the Borrower may be required to purchase in CoBank in connection with the Loans made
by CoBank hereunder may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan at the time this Agreement is entered into. The Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of (i) CoBank’s most recent annual report
available prior to the Original Effective Date, and if more recent, CoBank’s latest quarterly report available prior to the Original Effective Date, (ii) CoBank’s Notice to Prospective Stockholders as in effect prior to the Original
Effective Date and (iii) CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan as in effect prior to the Original Effective Date, which describe the nature of all of the Borrower’s stock and other equities in CoBank acquired in connection with its
patronage loan from CoBank (the “CoBank Equities”) as well as capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. 

(b) Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time upon notice to the
Borrower) shall govern (x) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the CoBank Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account thereof or on account of the Borrower’s patronage with CoBank,
(y) the Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from CoBank (in the form of CoBank Equities and cash) and (z) patronage distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. CoBank reserves the right to
assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Loans or Commitments on a non-patronage basis. 

(c) Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank has a statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (as amended from time to
time) on all CoBank Equities that the Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit. The CoBank Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other
Lender. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents create a Lien on the CoBank Equities or on patronage accrued by CoBank for the account of the Borrower (including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and
exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro rata sharing hereunder. Neither the 

  
 S-86 

 
CoBank Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of Default, CoBank may elect to apply the cash portion of any patronage
distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due under this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of the Borrower. CoBank shall have no obligation to
retire the CoBank Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by the Borrower or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise. 

SECTION 5.08 Further Assurances. Promptly upon the reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Loan Parties to, (a) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation of any Loan Document, and (b) do,
execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds,
certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably require from time to time in order to (i) carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents, (ii) to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject any Loan Party’s issued and outstanding equity interests to the Liens granted by the Pledge Agreement to the extent required thereunder and (iii) perfect and maintain the validity,
effectiveness and priority of the Pledge Agreement and (upon the execution and delivery thereof) the Security Agreement and any of the Liens created thereunder. 

SECTION 5.09 Post-Closing Actions. The Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such documents and instruments, and take or
cause to be taken such other actions as set forth on Schedule 7 as soon as commercially reasonable and by no later than the date set forth on Schedule 7, as such time periods may be extended by the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion; provided that any extension to after the date that is 270 days after the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall require the consent of the Required Lenders. 

SECTION 5.10 Ratings. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and to maintain public ratings from Moody’s
and Standard & Poor’s for the Term B-1 Loans; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to obtain or maintain any specific rating

portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness (including with respect to any revolving loan commitment) as being incurred at the time of such commitment and thereafter outstanding so long as such commitment remains outstanding, regardless of
whether fully drawn, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed to be an incurrence at such subsequent time; and

assume or Guarantee any Indebtedness, except (i) Indebtedness in effect at the time such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower, so long as such Indebtedness was not entered into solely in contemplation of such Person becoming a

Indebtedness of the Borrower permitted under this Agreement; provided that any such Guarantee shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Guarantee by such Guarantor of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Revolving Facility

(B) customary salary, bonus and other benefits payable to officers and employees of any direct or indirect parent company of
the Borrower to the extent such salaries, bonuses and other benefits are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; 
  

	 	(ix)	payments to holders of Equity Interests (or to the holders of Indebtedness that is convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests upon such conversion or exchange) in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares;

  

	 	(x)	other Restricted Payments; provided that the amount of any such Restricted Payment, when taken together with the amount of all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (x), does not exceed
the greater of (A) $750.0 million and (B) 2.5% of Total Assets; provided, further, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, such Restricted Payment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would
occur as a consequence thereof; and 

  

	 	(xi)	any Restricted Payments made in connection with the closing of the Verizon Acquisition. 

 The amount of all
Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant
to the Restricted Payment. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.10, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in Section 6.10(a), clauses (i) through
(xi) of Section 6.10(b) or the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Borrower will be permitted to classify such Restricted Payment and later reclassify all or a portion of such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies
with this Section 6.10. In addition, a Restricted Payment need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Restricted Payment but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other
provisions of this Section 6.10 permitting such Restricted Payment. 

  
 S-95 

 (c) In the case of the Borrower only, declare or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted
Payment, or incur any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to do so, in each case if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such action or will result therefrom (but excluding the payment of dividends declared and
announced by the board of directors of the Borrower at a time when no Event of Default existed). 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 6.10, the Borrower shall not: 
  

	 	(i)	declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Borrower’s common Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable on account of the Borrower’s common Equity Interests in
connection with any merger or consolidation, in an amount which, when aggregated with all other such dividends or distributions and any amounts paid pursuant to Section 6.10(d)(ii), exceeds $2.40 per share in any fiscal year (subject to
adjustments for any splits and reverse splits or other reductions in the number of outstanding shares of common stock); or 

  

	 	(ii)	purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any common Equity Interests of the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower held by Persons other than the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, including in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation, in an amount which, when aggregated with all other such purchases, redemptions, defeasances, acquisitions or retirements and any amounts paid pursuant
to Section 6.10(d)(i), exceeds $2.40 per share in any fiscal year (subject to adjustments for any splits and reverse splits or other reductions in the number of outstanding shares of common stock). 

SECTION 6.11 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower’s board of directors may designate any
Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. Any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be a designation of each of such entity’s
Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary
designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the tine of such designation and may reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.10 or under one or more of the clauses of the
definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Borrower. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
“Unrestricted Subsidiary.” Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by delivery to the Administrative Agent a certified copy of the board resolution giving
effect to such designation and a certificate of a Financial Officer certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was not prohibited by Section 6.10.

 ARTICLE VIII 

AGENCY 
 SECTION 8.01
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms 

  
 S-99 

 
hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act
as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries to secure any of the Obligations and to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of any Loan Document, together with such powers and discretion as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect
to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or the settle any claim, action or
proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such and, in each case, acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall bind the Lenders. 

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower
shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions except with respect to a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent and the terms of Section 8.03. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers and obligations in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. The term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.
Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as
if such Person were not the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations in its capacity as such except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent: 

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

 (b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the 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 the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
 (c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

  
 S-100 

 Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable to the Lenders 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 the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall believe in
good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 The Administrative
Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders or Issuing Banks for or have any duty to the Lenders or Issuing Banks 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 by any other party
hereto of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. 

The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any
assignment or participation of Loans and/or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. 
 Each of
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and
exercise their respective 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 the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. 
  

  
 S-101 

 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York and which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that, if the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted
such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of any of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to
hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall
instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent
and/or Collateral Agent, their respective sub-agents, as applicable 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 and/or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent. 
 Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their respective securities) 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. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of
the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, without any further consent of any Lender, enter into (i) a
Permitted 

  
 S-102 

 
First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any Indebtedness not prohibited hereby that is to be secured by Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 that are contemplated or
required to be pari passu with any Liens securing the Obligations and/or (ii) a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any Indebtedness not prohibited hereby that is to be secured by Liens permitted pursuant to
Section 6.01 that are contemplated or required to be junior to any Liens securing the Obligations. Any Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall
be binding on the Secured Parties. 
 To the extent required by any applicable law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative
Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.14, each Lender shall, and
does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to
properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a
change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent under
this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.02 Bookrunners, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agents or documentation agents 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 the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.03 Collateral and Guaranty Matters;
Enforcement. The Lenders irrevocably agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Commitments
and payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable and (y) outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to which credit support reasonably satisfactory to the
applicable Issuing Bank shall have been delivered), (ii) if such Lien is no longer required to be granted to secure the Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) subject to the last proviso to Section 9.02(b), if the
release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (iv) upon the sale or disposition of any such property to a Person that is not a Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary or a Pledgor pursuant to any
transaction permitted hereunder. The Lenders irrevocably agree that each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent under any Loan Document in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document so long as any proceeds thereof are shared in accordance with Section 2.15(b), subject to the Intercreditor
Agreements. 

  
 S-103 

 In addition, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably
agree that any Guarantor shall be released from its respective Guarantee (i) automatically upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary or (ii) if the release of
such Guarantor is approved, authorized or ratified by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders whose consent is required in accordance with Section 9.02). 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or, unless this Agreement requires that the Lien securing the Obligations be senior or pari passu, subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this
Section 8.03. In each case as specified in this Section 8.03, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the
Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest
granted under the Collateral Documents; provided, that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower providing certifications with
respect to such release or subordination as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request. 
 By its acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to realize upon any collateral or other security
given to secure the payment and performance of any of the Secured Obligations.

delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or
furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
notices to any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.
The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures

(c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications hereunder
by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). 

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising
any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies

  
 S-105 

 
that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance
of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

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 Borrower or, as applicable, any Subsidiary shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained
exclusively by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and/or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any
Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08, or (iii) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 (b) Amendments. None of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any provision of the
other Loan Documents may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.21 or (y) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, no such agreement shall do any of the following (it being understood
and agreed that this proviso shall not apply to (1) a waiver, extension, postponement or reduction of any default interest, (2) a waiver or extension of Defaults or Events of Default (other than pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b)),
(3) a waiver, extension, postponement or reduction of any mandatory prepayment (or modification of any defined term relating thereto) or (4) an amendment, waiver or other modification to any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term
used therein) or Section 5.02(a), (b) or (c) even if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder): 

 

	 	(i)	increase the Commitment of any Lender, 

  

	 	(ii)	reduce the principal amount of any Loan owed to any Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder to any Lender, 

 

	 	(iii)	postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder to any Lender, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone
the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, 

  

	 	(iv)	change Section 2.15(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (it being understood that transactions contemplated pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, 2.21
or 9.04(b)(v) shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments); 

  
 S-106 

 provided, further, that no such agreement shall (A) change any of the provisions of
this Section 9.02(b) or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that such consent of each Lender shall not be required for amendments as provided in Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.21), (B) change any of
the provisions of Section 2.15(b) relating to the order of payments, without the written consent of each Lender, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral required to be subject to a Lien securing the Obligations pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender (unless such release is in connection with the grant of a Lien on replacement Collateral to secure the Obligations, in which case only the consent of the Required Lenders shall
be required) or (D) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.17) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender except to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.17(a). 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, without the consent of any Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
may (I) enter into any amendment, supplement or modification of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, (w) to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any
Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including entering into and/or modifying any Intercreditor Agreement in connection with other Indebtedness not prohibited hereunder that is or is
contemplated to be subject to a Lien permitted by Section 6.01 (subject to any restrictions set forth herein as to the priority of any such Lien relative to any Lien securing, or required to be granted to secure, the Obligations)), (x) as
required by local law or to comply with advice from local counsel to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or any
Loan Document, (y) to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document or (z) in the case of any Collateral Document, to reaffirm or modify any Collateral Document (i) to add a new class of secured
creditors in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) to release any lien securing any other series of Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof or (iii) to release any Lien securing the Obligations in accordance with
Section 8.03 and (II) enter into any amendment, supplement or modification of any Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, to correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan
Document or to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature. 
 (c) Revolving Facility Amendments. With respect
to the Revolving Facility only, without the consent of each Revolving Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, no such agreement shall do any of the following (it being understood and agreed that this proviso shall not apply to (1) a
waiver, extension, postponement or reduction of any default interest, (2) a waiver or extension of Defaults or Events of Default (other than pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b)), (3) a waiver, extension, postponement or reduction of any
mandatory prepayment (or modification of any defined term relating thereto) or (4) an amendment, waiver or other modification to any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) or Section 5.02(a), (b) or (c) even
if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder):

 S-107 

 provided, further, that no such agreement shall change any of the provisions of this
Section 9.02(c) or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Revolving Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender. 
 (d) Financial
Covenant Loans and Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Financial Covenant Commitments and Financial Covenant Loans only, solely with the consent of the Required Financial Covenant Lenders (but without the consent of
the Required Lenders or any other Lender), any such agreement may waive, amend or modify Section 6.07 (or the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any component definition thereof, in each case, as any such definition is used
solely for purposes of Section 6.07 for purposes of determining compliance with such Section as a condition to taking any action under this Agreement). 

(e) Additional Amendments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or modified to: 

 

	 	(i)	release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Guaranty Agreement without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; or 

 

	 	(ii)	amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Banks hereunder without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Sublimit of any Issuing Bank listed on Schedule 1 may be modified and technical

 S-108 

 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
(and any sub-agent thereof), the Joint Lead Arrangers and each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented

such Indemnitees taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Indemnitees, in each case, selected by the Administrative Agent (plus one additional counsel in the event of an actual or
perceived conflict of interest), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
(ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand
do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) 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 the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; 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 any of its Controlled Related Parties or
(y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its
favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any

respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled Affiliates and (3) the respective agents or representatives of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled

paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or an Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.

law, no Indemnitee shall assert against the Borrower or its Related Parties and the Borrower shall not assert against any Indemnitee, and each Indemnitee and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,

contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity obligations to the extent set forth in

Lender (except as expressly contemplated by and in accordance with clause (ii) of the first proviso to Section 6.04), and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee
in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest

of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)

	 	(i)	Minimum Amounts.

remaining amount of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable, at the time owing to the assigning Lender 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 paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the principal amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) of the assigning Lender or the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender, as applicable, subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption 

  
 S-110 

 
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than
(x) with respect to the Revolving Facility, $10,000,000, (y) with respect to Initial Term Loans and any Other Term Loans that are term A loans, $5,000,000 and (z) with respect to Term B-1 Loans and
any Other Term Loans that are term B loans, $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
  

	 	(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 Commitments
or Loan, as applicable, assigned. 

  

	 	(iii)	Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided that the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days; 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required except
in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender; and 
 (C) the consent of the applicable Issuing
Bank shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding). 

 

	 	(iv)	Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms or documentation required to be delivered under Section 2.14(e). 

  

	 	(v)	Assignment to the Borrower. Any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans to the Borrower but only if: 

(A) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom; 

(B) such assignment is made pursuant to open market purchase; 

  
 S-111 

 (C) any such Term Loans shall be immediately and permanently cancelled
immediately upon acquisition thereof by the Borrower; and 
 (D) the Borrower may not use proceeds from loans under the
Revolving Facility to purchase Term Loans. 
  

	 	(vi)	No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to a natural person, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries (or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this Section 9.04(b)(vi)), (C) except in accordance with Section 2.20 or Section 9.04(b)(v), to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or (D) to a Disqualified Lender (but
solely to the extent the Disqualified Lender list has been made available to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 9.04(g)). 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (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 Section 2.13 and Section 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph (b) shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices
in New York, New York 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 (and stated interest on) 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 absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time,
without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Disqualified Lender (but solely to the extent the Disqualified Lender list has been posted to the
Intralinks or another similar electronic system pursuant to Section 9.04(g)) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative 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. 

  
 S-112 

 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant or described in the second proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that would require the consent of all Lenders. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14 and 9.08 (subject to the
requirements and limitations of those Sections and Section 2.16, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(e) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender
that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal
amount of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in Commitments and/or the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such
Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the
obligation to disclose all or a portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of the Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that any loans or other obligations are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 and
Section 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central 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) Disqualified Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Borrower and any updates
thereto from time to time on Intralinks or another similar electronic system to “public siders” and/or “private siders” and/or provide such list to each Lender requesting the same. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions relating to Disqualified Lenders. 

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or
other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any 

  
 S-113 

 
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent obligations in respect of which no claim has been made) or any Letter of Credit
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 9.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract between and 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 the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together,
bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like
import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of
their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever
currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative 

  
 S-114 

 
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing
to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction;
Etc. 
 (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New
York. 
 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submit, for themselves and their property,
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Waiver of Venue. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive, 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 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 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. 

SECTION 9.10 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.

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,

requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (and, in the case of any
non-ordinary course disclosure under this clause (b), the disclosing party shall use its reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower thereof prior to any such disclosure and, in any event, shall promptly inform
the Borrower thereof, in each case to the extent legally permitted to do so; provided that requests from any bank examiner or bank auditor shall not be considered to be non-ordinary course), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the disclosing party shall use its reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower thereof prior to any such disclosure and, in any event, shall
promptly inform the Borrower thereof, in each case to the extent legally permitted to do so), (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 the
Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) with the prior consent of the Borrower, by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any lead arranger in respect of any incremental credit facility to be
issued hereunder, in each case on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities hereunder or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Original Effective Date, 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. 

  
 S-116 

 SECTION 9.13 No Fiduciary Duty, etc. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Secured Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Secured Party is acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower
agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Secured Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Secured Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that no Secured Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be
responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Loan Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto. 

The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Secured Party is a full service
securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Secured Party may provide investment banking and other
financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, you and other companies with which
you may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Secured Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any
voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. 
 In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees,
and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Secured Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you
may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Secured Party will use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other
relationships with you in connection with the performance by such Secured Party of services for other companies, and no Secured Party will furnish any such information to other companies. You also acknowledge that no Secured Party has any obligation
to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies. 

SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the 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 “Patriot Act”), such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with said Patriot Act. 

SECTION 9.15 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising
hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

  
 S-117 

 (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on
any such liability, including, if applicable: 
  

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

  

	 	(ii)	a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise
conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 

 

	 	(iii)	the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

defaults described under clauses (i) or (iii)) such violation or default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and would not have an adverse effect on the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this
Amendment or any other Loan Documents and would not materially adversely affect any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with this Amendment or any other Loan Documents. This Amendment constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and general principles of equity, including an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing).

consolidation where appropriate), applied on a consistent basis and, except as expressly provided herein, in a manner consistent with that used in preparing audited financial statements in accordance with Section 8.2(b) and
all accounting or financial terms have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any change after the Fourth Amendment Closing Date in GAAP, and if such change would affect the
computation of any of the financial covenants set forth in Article VIII, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would adjust such financial covenants in a
manner that would preserve the original intent thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Borrower’s financial statements at that time, provided that until so amended such financial covenants shall
continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein,

of determining compliance under Article VIII, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars in a manner consistent with that used in calculating consolidated net income in the most recent financial statements of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 8.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Article VII, with respect to any covenant with respect to the amount of
Indebtedness or investment in a currency other than Dollars, no breach of any basket contained therein shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or investment is
incurred; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the result of any changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or investment is incurred shall otherwise apply in all other cases, including determining whether any
additional Indebtedness or investment may be incurred at any time in accordance with Article VII and for purposes of calculating financial ratios in accordance with Article VIII.

 II. CREDIT FACILITIES 

2.1 Term Loans. 

(a) Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and
warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a delayed draw term loan under its Term Loan Commitment (each such loan, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Delayed Draw Date in a single advance in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $350,000,000; provided that the aggregate amount of Term Loans from each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Each request by the Borrower for a Term Loan shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with Section 4.2 immediately after giving effect to the requested Term Loans. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right
to repay and reborrow any Term Loan under this Section 2.1. 
 (b) Term Loans Request. The
Borrower shall request the Lenders to make the Term Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans; and
(ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to Base Rate Loans (or, in each case, such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Lenders), a duly completed
request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit C. The Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Interest Period; provided that the Borrower may revoke the Loan Request on one (1) occasion
due to a delay in the closing of the Acquisition by delivering a written notice to the Administrative Agent received prior to wiring of such advance, such revocation to be without premium or penalty (except as provided in
Section 3.5). The Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate Term Loan Commitments. 

(c) Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans. Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in
each request for a Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.1 in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. The aggregate of each Lender’s Term Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall never exceed its Term
Loan Commitment. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the
failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make the Term Loans after the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. 

  
 36 

 (d) Repayment of Term Loans. In addition to any prepayments or repayments
made pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, the Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans in equal quarterly principal payments on the last day of each March, June, September and
December beginning one full fiscal quarter after the Delayed Draw Date in an amount equal to $8,750,000. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans shall be due and payable in full in
cash on the Maturity Date. 
 2.2 Interest Rate Provisions. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the
outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply
to different Borrowings at any time outstanding and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of any Borrowing (subject to minimum amounts in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof); provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than five (5) Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans, and provided, further, that if an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew any LIBOR Rate Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Term Loan made by any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Term Loan
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. 
 (a) Interest Rate Options. All other Obligations not constituting the Term
Loans shall bear interest calculated based upon the Base Rate Option. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.4, the Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to
the Term Loans: 
 (i) Base Rate Option: An option to pay interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the
Alternate Base Rate in effect as of any date of determination plus the Applicable Margin as of such date; or 
 (ii)
LIBOR Rate Option: An option to pay interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the applicable Interest Period and as in effect as of any date of determination plus the Applicable Margin as
of such date. 
 (b) Day Count Basis. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (except at times that the Alternate Base Rate is calculated based upon the LIBOR Rate, in which case the interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.) Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans and all other Obligations, including amounts due under Section 3.5, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The date of funding or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan and the first day of an Interest Period shall be included in the calculation of
interest. The date of payment of any Term Loan and the last day of an Interest Period shall be excluded from the calculation of interest; provided, if a Term Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day’s interest
shall be charged. 

  
 37 

 2.3 Interest Periods. In order to convert a Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate
Loan or continue a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed, written request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit G (each, a “Conversion or Continuation
Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) with respect to a conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such conversion or continuation and
(ii) with respect to a conversion to a Base Rate Loan, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed effective date of such conversion. The Conversion or Continuation Notice shall specify (i) which Borrowings (including the
principal amount thereof) are subject to such request, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, (ii) the proposed effective date of such conversion or
continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Borrower is requesting a continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or a conversion of Borrowings from one interest rate option to the other interest rate option, and (iv) if a continuation
of or conversion to LIBOR Rate Loans is requested, the requested Interest Period with respect thereto. In addition, the following provisions shall apply to any continuation of or conversion of any Borrowings: 

(a) Amount of Loans. Immediately after giving effect to such conversion or continuation, each Borrowing of Term Loans
shall be in an amount no less than the applicable minimum amount for such Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.2. 

(b) Commencement of Interest Period. In the case of any borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Rate
Loan, the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance or continuation of, or conversion to, any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on
which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires. Upon a conversion from a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, interest at the Base Rate Option shall commence on the last day of the existing Interest Period. 

(c) Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower elects to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan but fails to select a new
Interest Period to apply thereto, then a one month Interest Period automatically shall apply. If the Borrower fails to duly request the continuation of any Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans on or before the date specified and otherwise in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, then such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan, commencing on the last day of the Interest Period then in effect. 

2.4 Making of Loans. 

(a) Notifications and Payments. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request (or
revocation thereof) pursuant to Section 2.1(b), notify the applicable Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request (or revocation thereof) specifying the information provided by the Borrower and, in the case of a new Loan
Request, the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Term Loan as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.1. Each applicable Lender shall remit the principal amount of their Pro Rata
Share of the Term Loan to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to the terms and conditions
of Section 2.1, fund such Term Loan to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds to the Borrower’s account specified in the Loan Request prior to 2:00 p.m. on the proposed Borrowing Date. 

  
 38 

 (b) Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each selection of, conversion to or
renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal and interest due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender
and except as provided in Section 2.2, Section 3.1 or Section 3.6) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal
and interest then due or payable such Lenders as set forth in this Agreement. 
 (c) Presumptions by the Administrative
Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Term Loan, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such Term Loan available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a
Lender has not in fact made its Term Loans available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate then applicable
to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its Term Loans to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower and such Lender pay such interest for the same period, the Administrative Agent promptly shall remit to the Borrower the amount of interest
paid by Borrower for such overlapping period. Nothing in this Section 2.4(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the provisions of Section 2.12, shall be deemed to
require the Administrative Agent (or any other Lender) to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 2.5 Fees. 

(a) Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fee. Accruing from the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of (i) the
Delayed Draw Date or (ii) Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitments, a nonrefundable unused
commitment fee (each an “Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.40% (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the maximum available amount of the Term Loan
Commitments; provided, however, that any Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Term Loan Commitment of a Defaulting 

  
 39 

 
Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender
except to the extent that such Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Term
Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the provisos in the directly preceding sentence, all Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees as agreed in the Fee
Letter. 
 2.6 Notes. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans
made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall, at the request of the applicable Lender, be evidenced by a Term Loan Note, dated the Delayed Draw Date payable to the order of such Lender or its registered assigns in a face amount
equal to the Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay, to the order of each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or their registered assigns, as applicable, the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loans and other Obligations as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 2.7
Drawing Payments. 
 (a) Payments Generally. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of
principal, interest, Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fees, other fees referred to in Section 2.5 or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall
immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of Lenders to which they are owed, in each case in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Term Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.” 

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

  
 40 

 2.8 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be due and
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Term Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, also on the date
that is the three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period. Interest on the principal amount of each Term Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation
becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Maturity Date, upon an accelerated Maturity Date or otherwise). 
 2.9 Voluntary
Prepayments and Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right at its
option from time to time to prepay the Term Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 3.5). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Term Loans, it shall provide a prepayment
notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. at least (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans, or (B) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, setting forth the
following information: 
 (i) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made; 

(ii) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment among Borrowings; and 

(iii) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than $250,000 (provided, that the amount of any
prepayment to which this Section 2.9(a)(iii) applies shall be in integral multiples of $250,000). 

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable (provided that any such notice of a prepayment in full may be conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, the incurrence of other Indebtedness or a change of control and revoked by notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. on the date specified in such notice for prepayment if such condition is
not satisfied). The principal amount of the Term Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Term Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the
date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. All prepayments of the Term Loans will be applied pro rata to remaining installments of principal (including, without limitation, the final
installment due at maturity.) Except as provided in Section 2.2, if the Borrower prepays a Term Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing that the Borrower intends to prepay, and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, then such prepayment shall be applied first, to all outstanding portions of the Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and second, to all outstanding portions of the Term Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans. Any prepayment
hereunder shall include all interest and fees due and payable with respect to the Term Loan being prepaid and shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 3.5.

 (b) Reduction of the Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan Commitment shall
be permanently reduced and terminated in full on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. 
 2.10 [Intentionally
omitted]. 
 2.11 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff,
counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on
its Term Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its
pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled hereunder, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Term Loans and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans and other Obligations owing them, provided that: 

(a) 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 other than interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making
such purchase; and 
 (b) the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to
(x) any payment (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender
as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this
Section 2.11 shall apply). 
 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. This Section 2.11 shall not apply to any action taken by CoBank with respect to any CoBank Equities held by the Borrower, including pursuant to
Section 9.2(c). 
 2.12 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

  
 42 

 (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders. 

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 9.2(c) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as
required by this Agreement, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to its Term Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to
the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to
such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Term Loan which such Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded, and (y) such Term Loan was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
Term Loan Commitments under the Term Loan Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.12(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. 

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

  
 43 

 (B) With respect to any Unused Delayed Draw Commitment Fee not required to be
paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a
Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par
that portion of outstanding Term Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Term Loan Commitments
under the Term Loan Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender
was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 III. INCREASED COSTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY; INDEMNITY 

3.1 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 or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate); 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or
such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be,
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 44 

 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines in good faith 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 or liquidity 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 Term Loan Commitments of such Lender or the portions of the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or
such Lender’s 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 liquidity and capital adequacy), then from time to time
the 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 this Section 3.1 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due
under this Section 3.1 and stated on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 3.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 3.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 3.2 Taxes. 

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the term “Law” includes FATCA.

 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding
Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.2) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been made. 

  
 45 

 (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten
(10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.2) payable or paid by such
Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.7(d) relating to the maintenance of
a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender
from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 
 (f) Evidence of
Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(g) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 

  
 46 

 
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.2(g)(ii)(A), (g)(ii)(B), (g)(ii)(C) and (g)(ii)(D) below) shall
not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower: 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying
that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is
legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8
BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8 BEN-E, as applicable (or successor
form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form); 

  
 47 

 (3) 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 Tax Compliance Certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8 BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form); or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 48 

 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole
discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.2 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.2), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will
the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to
such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other
Person. 
 3.3 Illegality. If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law has made it unlawful for any
Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate Option, or if 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 written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate
Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand
from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued and unpaid interest and all other
amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement (including amounts payable under Section 3.5) on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

3.4 LIBOR Rate Option Unavailable; Interest After Default. 

(a) Adjusted LIBOR Rate Unavailable. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Borrowing proposed to
be subject to the LIBOR Rate Option: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that either Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank LIBOR Rate market or that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such
Interest Period; or 

  
 49 

 (ii) the Requisite Lenders determine in good faith (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the lenders of making or maintaining the Term Loans for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any request to convert any Base Rate Loan to, or continue any LIBOR Rate Loan at, the LIBOR Rate Option shall be
ineffective, and (y) the Base Rate Option shall apply to any and all Borrowings upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

(b) Default Rate. To the extent permitted by Law, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default under clause (g) or (h) of Section 9.1, or immediately after written demand by the Requisite Lenders to the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
under clause (a) of Section 9.1, then the principal amount of all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this
Section 3.4(b) reflects, among other things, the fact that such Term Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation
for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 3.5
Indemnity. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss (excluding any Applicable Margin),
cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason, including the revocation of a Loan Request, other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Term Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Term Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 

(c) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a
request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.6; 

  
 50 

 including interest paid but excluding any Applicable Margin on LIBOR Rate Loans and including any loss or expense
arising from the cost, liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Term Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to
have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such Term 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 LIBOR Rate
Loan was in fact so funded. 
 3.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.1, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2, or
suspends making or continuing LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 or eliminate the cause of the suspension pursuant to Section 3.3, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject
such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.1, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2, or
if any Lender suspends making or continuing LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.3 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with
Section 3.6(a) above or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.7), all of its interests, rights
(other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) the Borrower or applicable
assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.7; 

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

  
 51 

 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 3.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and 

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting
Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

3.7 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Article III shall survive the resignation of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

IV. CONDITIONS OF LENDING 

The effectiveness of this Agreement and the obligation of each Lender to make its Term Loans hereunder are subject to (in addition to, in the
case of the Term Loans, the performance by the Borrower of its obligations to be performed hereunder at or prior to the making of any such Term Loans) the satisfaction of the following conditions: 

4.1 Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Agreement on the Closing Date is subject to the satisfaction of the following

 V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loans, the Borrower hereby
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 5.1 Organization, Powers, Governmental
Approvals. 
 (a) Each Loan Party and each Pledgor (1) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (2) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and (3) is qualified to do business in every
jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party’s and each Pledgor’s execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents are within
its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not violate or create a default under (i) Law, (ii) its constituent documents, or (iii) any contractual provision binding upon it, except to the extent (in the
case of violations or defaults described under clauses (i) or (iii)) such violation or default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and would not have an adverse effect on the validity, binding effect or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and would not materially adversely affect any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. Each of the
Loan Documents to which such Loan Party or Pledgor is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party or Pledgor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and general principles of equity, including an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing). 

  
 56 

 (b) Except for (1) any Governmental Approvals required in connection with
the funding of the Term Loans (such approvals being “Borrowing Approvals”) and (2) any Governmental Approvals the failure to obtain which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or affect
the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all Governmental Approvals required in connection with the execution and delivery by each Loan Party and each Pledgor of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party and the performance by such Loan Party or Pledgor of its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been, and, prior to the time of any Borrowing, all Borrowing Approvals will be, duly obtained, are (or, in the case of Borrowing
Approvals, will be) in full force and effect without having been amended or modified in any manner that may impair the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and are not (or, in the case of Borrowing Approvals, will
not be) the subject of any pending appeal, stay or other challenge

Such Forms 10-K and 10-Q do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
make any statement therein, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading. Each of the financial statements in such Forms 10-K and 10-Q has been,

adverse change in, the financial condition, results of operations, business, assets or operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole (it being understood that the consummation of an Asset Exchange shall not constitute such a
material adverse change).

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Principal Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in,
or other rights to use or occupy, all its properties and assets, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their
intended purposes, and except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens securing Indebtedness, other than Liens expressly permitted by
Section 7.1. 
 (b) Each of the Borrower and the Principal Subsidiaries has complied with all
obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and all such leases are in full force and effect, except where such failure to comply or maintain such leases in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases except where such failure would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 57 

 5.5 Ownership of Subsidiaries. The Borrower owns, free and clear of any Lien

Section 5.2 and which have been delivered or otherwise made available to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date hereof, (1) the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have complied with all Environmental Laws,
except to the extent that failure to so comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (2) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has failed to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other

default could reasonably be anticipated to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

6.1 Existence; Businesses and Properties. 

(a) Preserve and maintain, cause each of the Principal Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, and cause each other
Subsidiary to preserve and maintain (where the failure by any such other Subsidiary to so preserve and maintain would likely result in a Material Adverse Effect), its corporate existence, rights and franchises, except in connection with an Asset
Exchange, provided, however, that the corporate existence of any Principal Subsidiary may be terminated if such termination is not disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or any Lender; 

(b) continue to own (directly or indirectly) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of each Principal
Subsidiary, except in connection with an Asset Exchange or pursuant to any sale of shares of common stock of such Principal Subsidiary not prohibited hereunder;

 (d) pay, and cause each of the Subsidiaries to pay, before any such
amounts become delinquent, (i) all Taxes imposed upon it or upon its property, and (ii) all claims (including claims for labor, materials, supplies, or services) which might, if unpaid, become a Lien upon its property, unless, in each
case, the validity or amount thereof is being disputed in good faith, and the Borrower has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto, in each case where the failure to so pay would be reasonably expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect; 
 (e) keep, and cause each of the Subsidiaries to keep, proper books of record and account, containing
complete and accurate entries of all financial and business transactions of the Borrower and such Subsidiary in all material respects; 

(f) continue to carry on, and cause each Principal Subsidiary to continue to carry on, substantially the same type of business

to its properties and business and the properties and business of the Subsidiaries against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by reputable companies in the same or similar businesses, such insurance to be of such types and in
such amounts (with such deductible amounts) as is customary for such companies under similar circumstances; 
 provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any transaction not otherwise prohibited by Section 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4. 

6.2 Maintaining Records. Maintain all financial records in accordance with GAAP and, upon reasonable notice, permit the
Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect the financial records of the Borrower at reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested and to make extracts from and copies of such financial records, and permit any
representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to discuss the affairs, finances and condition of the Borrower with the appropriate officers thereof and, with the Borrower’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably

this Section 6.2; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent or any Lender may do any of the foregoing, upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business
hours (without appointment of a single representative by the Lenders). 
 6.3 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the
proceeds of the Term Loans solely for the purposes described in the recital paragraphs to this Agreement. 
 6.4
CoBank Equity. So long as CoBank is a Lender hereunder, the Borrower will acquire equity in CoBank in such amounts and at such times as CoBank may require in accordance with CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each
may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that the Borrower may be required to purchase in CoBank in connection with the Term Loans made by CoBank hereunder may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by
CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan at the time this Agreement is entered into. The Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of (i) CoBank’s most recent annual report, and if more recent, CoBank’s latest quarterly report,
(ii) CoBank’s Notice to Prospective Stockholders and (iii) CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan, 

  
 61 

 
which describe the nature of all of the Borrower’s stock and other equities in CoBank acquired in connection with its patronage loan from CoBank (the “CoBank
Equities”) as well as capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. 
 (a) Each
party hereto acknowledges that CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time) shall govern (x) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the CoBank Equities and any patronage refunds or other
distributions made on account thereof or on account of the Borrower’s patronage with CoBank, (y) the Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from CoBank (in the form of CoBank Equities and cash) and (z) patronage
distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. CoBank reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments on a
non-patronage basis. 
 (b) Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank has a
statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (as amended from time to time) on all CoBank Equities that the Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit. The
CoBank Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other Lender. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents create a Lien on the CoBank Equities or on patronage accrued by CoBank for the account of the Borrower
(including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro rata sharing hereunder. Neither the CoBank Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset
against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of Default, CoBank may elect to apply the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due under this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that any
corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of the Borrower. CoBank shall have no obligation to retire the CoBank Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by the Borrower or at any
other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise. 
 6.5 Collateral Documents; Additional Guarantors.

 (a) Execute, and cause the Loan Parties and Pledgors to execute, any and all further documents, financing statements,
agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, and other documents), that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement and to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied (with respect to any assets that are required to constitute Collateral at the time of such request pursuant to this Agreement), all at the expense of the
Borrower and provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the
Collateral Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not require the delivery of any document, financing statement, legal opinion or instrument, or the taking of any action, described on Schedule 6.7 until the date required pursuant
to Section 6.7. For the avoidance of doubt, the Liens created by the Pledge Agreement securing the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be subject to automatic termination or release pursuant
to Section 4.13 of the Pledge Agreement. 

  
 62 

 (b) If any additional direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower is formed or
acquired following the Fourth Amendment Closing Date and such Subsidiary is (1) a wholly owned domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) or (2) any other domestic Subsidiary that may be designated by the Borrower in its sole
discretion, within twenty (20) days after the date such Subsidiary is formed or acquired or meets such criteria (or first becomes subject to such requirement) (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion),
notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, within sixty (60) days after the date such Subsidiary is formed or acquired or meets such criteria (or first becomes subject to such requirement) or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may
agree in its sole discretion, cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and Pledgor and cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary; provided that the foregoing shall not require the
delivery of any document, financing statement, legal opinion or instrument, or the taking of any action, described on Schedule 6.7 until the date required pursuant to Section 6.7. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) in no circumstance shall any Excluded Subsidiary become a Guarantor or a Pledgor unless designated as a Guarantor or Pledgor, as applicable, by the Borrower in its sole discretion and
(ii) to the extent the holders of any Subsidiary’s equity interests are prohibited from granting Liens on such equity interests to secure the Secured Obligations by any applicable Law, or the grant of any such Lien would require consent,
approval, license or authorization of a Governmental Authority (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received), in no circumstance shall such equity interests required to be pledged to secure the Secured Obligations. 

6.6 Further Assurances. Promptly upon the reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Loan Parties to, (a) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation of any Loan Document, and (b) do,
execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds,
certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably require from time to time in order to (i) carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents, (ii) to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject any Loan Party’s issued and outstanding equity interests to the Liens granted by the Pledge Agreement to the extent required thereunder and (iii) perfect and maintain the validity,
effectiveness and priority of the Pledge Agreement and any of the Liens created thereunder. 
 6.7 Post-Closing
Actions. The Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such documents and instruments, and take or cause to be taken such other actions as set forth on Schedule 6.7 as soon as commercially reasonable and by no later
than the date set forth on Schedule 6.7, as such time periods may be extended by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion; provided that any extension to after the date that is 240 days after the Fourth Amendment Closing Date shall
require the consent of the Required Lenders.

connection with a financing or factoring transaction (other than in the ordinary course of business), other than: (a) Liens listed on Schedule 7.1 and Liens securing any Indebtedness incurred to refinance, refund, renew or extend any
Indebtedness secured by Liens listed on Schedule 7.1 to the extent not increasing the principal amount thereof except by the amount of accrued and unpaid interest and premium thereon and reasonable fees and expense in connection with such
refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension so long as the Liens securing such Indebtedness shall be limited to all or part of the same property that secured the Indebtedness refinanced, refunded, renewed or extended (and improvements on and

commitment and thereafter outstanding so long as such commitment remains outstanding, regardless of whether fully drawn, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed to be an incurrence at such
subsequent time; and 
 (iv) accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of
additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock and the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles or the application

incurred a liability to or on account of a Plan under Section 4062, 4063, 4064, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA, and there shall result from any such event or events a Material Adverse Effect; or 

(k) Change in Control. A Change in Control shall occur. 

(l) Events Regarding Collateral Documents. After execution thereof, (1) any material provisions of any
Collateral Document shall cease to be in full force and effect, or any Loan Party or any Pledgor shall so assert in writing, or (2) any Lien required hereby that is created by any Collateral Document shall cease to be enforceable and of the
same effect and priority purported to be created thereby, or any Loan Party or any Pledgor shall so assert in writing, in each case, for any reason other than (x) pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof including as a result of a transaction
not prohibited under this Agreement or (y) the failure of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of any certificates representing or evidencing the Collateral actually delivered to it. 

9.2 Consequences of Event of Default. 

(a) Events of Default Other Than Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings. If an Event of Default specified
under Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(g) or (h)) shall occur and be continuing, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be under no further obligation to make Term Loans and the
Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall by written notice to the Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other
Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to be forthwith due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and 
 (b)
Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings. If an Event of Default specified under Section 9.1(g) or (h) shall occur, the Lenders shall be under no further obligations to make Term Loans
hereunder and the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder automatically shall be immediately due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and 

  
 74 

 (c) Set-off. 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 the
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such
right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

(d) Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 9.2
(or after the Term Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: 

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts
(including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting indemnities, expenses, and other amounts (other than
principal, interest and fees) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and amounts payable under Article X), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this
clause Second payable to them; 

  
 75 

 Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Term Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them; 

Fourth, to payment of all other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described
in this clause Fourth held by them; 
 Last, the balance, if any, after Payment in Full of all of the
Obligations, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
 X. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably
appoints CoBank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with
reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 10.2 Rights as a Lender. The
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 10.3 No Fiduciary Duty. The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith opinion or the good
faith opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or 

  
 76 

 
applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or
termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 10.4 Exculpation. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice
describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 (a) The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for or have any duty to the Lenders to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions
set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or
(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

10.5 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

  
 77 

 10.6 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article X shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the Term Loan Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of
competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents. 

10.7 Filing Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relating to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand therefor) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the owing and unpaid principal and interest in respect to the Obligations
and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7 and 3.5) allowed in such proceeding; 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and 
 (c) 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 the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7,
2.9(b) and 3.5. 
 10.8 Resignation or Removal of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may
at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent
that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of
its resignation (or such earlier date as the Requisite Lenders may approve)(the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then the Administrative Agent’s
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance 

  
 78 

 
with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition thereof, the Requisite
Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Requisite Lenders) (the “Removal Effective
Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 
 With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable, (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a
successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.8. Upon the acceptance of
a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired or removed) Administrative Agent (other than any
rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 10.9 Non-Reliance on the Administrative
Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 10.10 Enforcement. By its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees that (i) the Loan Documents may be enforced only by the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions or with the consent of Requisite Lenders as provided in this Agreement and (ii) no
Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to realize upon any collateral or other security given to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations. 

  
 79 

 10.11 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 

10.12 No Reliance on the Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer
identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP
Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrower, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions
hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or
such other Laws. 
 10.13 Authorization to Release Collateral. 

(a) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien
on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document upon repayment in full and termination of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made), or
subject to Section 11.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 10.13. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or
warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the
Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 

10.14 Collateral and Guaranty Matters; Enforcement. 

(a) The Lenders hereby agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), (ii) if such
Lien is no longer required to be granted to secure the Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) subject to Section 11.1, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders
or (iv) upon the sale or disposition of any such property to a Person that is not a Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary or a Pledgor pursuant to any transaction permitted hereunder. The Lenders irrevocably agree that each of the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document in 

  
 80 

 
connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document so long as any proceeds thereof are shared in accordance with Section 2.11, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreements. In addition, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall be released from its respective Guarantee (i) automatically upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to
constitute a Subsidiary or (ii) if the release of such Guarantor is approved, authorized or ratified by the Requisite Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders whose consent is required in accordance with
Section 11.1). 
 (b) In addition, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall be
released from its respective Guarantee (i) automatically upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary or (ii) if the release of such Guarantor is approved,
authorized or ratified by the Requisite Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders whose consent is required in accordance with Section 11.1). 

(c) Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing
the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or, unless this Agreement requires that the Lien securing the Obligations be senior or pari passu, subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property
pursuant to this Section 10.14. In each case as specified in this Section 10.14, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such
item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents; provided, that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a
Financial Officer of the Borrower providing certifications with respect to such release or subordination as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request. 

XI. MISCELLANEOUS 

11.1 Modifications, Amendments or Waivers. With the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, the Administrative Agent,
acting on behalf of all the Lenders, and the Borrower may from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or
thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Lenders and the Borrower; provided, that no such agreement, waiver
or consent may be made that will: 
 (a) extend or increase the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any
obligation to make the Term Loans terminated pursuant to Section 9.2) without the written consent of such Lender whose Term Loan Commitment is being extended or increased (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any
condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or 4.3 or of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or a mandatory reduction in Term Loan Commitments is not considered an extension or increase in Term Loan
Commitments of any Lender); 

  
 81 

 (b) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any
payment (excluding mandatory prepayments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any scheduled or mandatory reduction of the Term Loan Commitments hereunder or under any other Loan Document) without the
written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment or whose Term Loan Commitments are to be reduced, it being understood that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans (or any definition relating thereto) shall not
constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest; 
 (c) reduce the principal of, or
the rate of interest specified herein on, any Term Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only
the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be necessary (A) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (B) to amend any financial covenant hereunder
(or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on the Term Loans or to reduce any fee payable hereunder; 

(d) change Section 2.11 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (e) change any provision of this
Section 11.1 or the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or otherwise change the percentage of the Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders to take any action hereunder without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (f) release the Borrower without the consent of each Lender; or 

(g) except as otherwise provided in Section 10.13, release all or substantially all of the Collateral
without the written consent of each Lender whose Obligations are secured by such Collateral. 
 provided that (i) no agreement, waiver or
consent that would modify the interests, rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent may be made without the written consent of such Administrative Agent, and (ii) only the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be
required for any amendment to the Fee Letter; and provided, further that, if in connection with any proposed waiver, amendment or modification referred to in Sections 11.1(a) through 11.1(f) above, the
consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower
shall have the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 3.6. 

  
 82 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than
Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Term Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender or amounts due to it permanently reduced without the consent of such Lender, and
(z) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders (other than solely as a
result of differing amounts of the Term Loans held by such Defaulting Lender vis-à-vis the other Lenders) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 11.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. 
 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 Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained
exclusively by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to
its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.2 (subject to the terms of
Section 2.12), 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 the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law. 

11.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single external counsel for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility, 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (selected by the
Administrative Agent) plus one additional counsel if any Lender reasonably determines that due to a conflict its interests are better represented by separate counsel), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in
connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring
or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans. 

  
 83 

 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and 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 reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Indemnitees (selected by the Administrative Agent) plus one
additional counsel if any Indemnitee reasonably determines that due to a conflict its interests are better represented by separate counsel) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower) other
than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom,
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Specified Substances on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to the 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 the Borrower, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; 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 the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith
of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This
Section 11.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages and other similar amounts arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount
required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any
Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. 

  
 84 

 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred
to in Section 11.3 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand
therefor. 
 (f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.3 shall
survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
obligations under any Loan Document. 
 11.4 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication. 

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by
telephone (and except as provided in paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent
by facsimile (i) if to a Lender, at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (ii) if to any other Person, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth on Schedule 1.1(B). Notices
sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal
business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below,
shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 
 (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other
communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative
Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

  
 85 

 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications
sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at
its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both
clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next
business day for the recipient. 
 (c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. 
 (d) Platform. 

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined
below) available to the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). 

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not
warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for
a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall
the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation,
direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s , the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications
through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform. 

  
 86 

 11.5 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be
severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. 

11.6 Duration; Survival. All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein or made in connection
herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the completion of the transactions hereunder, the termination of this Agreement and Payment In Full. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein relating to the
payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set forth in the Term Loan Notes, Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 11.3 or in
any other provision of any Loan Document, shall survive Payment In Full and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other Indemnitees against events arising after such termination as well as before. All other covenants and
agreements of the Borrower shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof and until Payment In Full. 
 11.7
Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of this Section, (ii) by way
of participation in accordance with the provisions of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions 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
this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loan 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 Term Loan Commitment and/or the
Term Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause (B) below in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

  
 87 

 (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this clause (b), the aggregate
amount of the Term Loan Commitments (which for this purpose includes Term Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Term Loan Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loan owed to the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as
of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). 
 (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 Term Loan or the Term Loan Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph
(b)(i)(B) of this Section and in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided,
further, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Term Loan Facility; and 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Term Loan Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any
Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 
 (iv) Assignment and
Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v). 

  
 88 

 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to
a natural Person. 
 (vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of
any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in
an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Term Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and
satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all
Term Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to 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 2.4, 3.1, 3.2 (subject to the requirements and
limitations of Section 3.2) and 11.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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
Section 11.7(d) below. 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Greenwood Village, Colorado 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
Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 89 

 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and/or the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.3(c) with respect
to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). A sale of a participation interest may include certain voting rights, which unless such participant is a Voting Participant, shall be limited to significant matters such as
(A) increases in the commitment of such participant, (B) reductions of interest rates, principal or fees, (C) extensions of scheduled maturities or times for payment or (D) reductions in voting percentages, in each case directly
affecting such participant. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Section 11.1 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.1, 3.5 and 3.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.2 (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 3.2 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 11.7; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this
Section 11.7; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been
entitled to receive, except in the case of a Voting Participant only, to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that
sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2(c) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as
though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and
stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the 

  
 90 

 
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such Term Loan Commitment, the Term Loans or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. CoBank reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or part of its Term Loan
Commitments or its outstanding Term Loan hereunder on a non-patronage basis. 
 Notwithstanding the
preceding paragraph, any Participant that is a Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a participation in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) has been designated as a voting Participant (a “Voting Participant”) in a notice
(a “Voting Participant Notice”) sent by the relevant Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (iii) receives, prior to becoming a Voting Participant, the prior written
consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent to be required only to the extent and under the circumstances it would be required if such Voting Participant
were to become a Lender pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.7(b)) and such consent is not required for an assignment to an existing Voting Participant), shall be entitled to vote as if such Voting
Participant were a Lender on all matters subject to a vote by Lenders, and the voting rights of the selling Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) shall be correspondingly reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Voting Participant Notice shall include, with respect to each Voting Participant, the information that would be included by a prospective Lender in an Assignment and Assumption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Participant in Schedule 11.7 shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notice and without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent. The selling Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) and the purchasing Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of any termination, reduction or increase of
the amount of, such participation. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in Voting Participant Notices and all other notices delivered pursuant hereto. The voting rights of each Voting Participant
are solely for the benefit of such Voting Participant and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of such Voting Participant that is not a Farm Credit Lender. 

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central 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. 

  
 91 

 11.8 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree
to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (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 required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related
Parties (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 and obligations under this
Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder;
(g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Term Loan Facility, (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and
monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Term Loan Facility or (iii) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its Obligations; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
the Borrower. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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. 
 11.9 Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. 
 (a) 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, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided
in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each
of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement. 

  
 92 

 (b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

11.10 CHOICE OF LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action
(whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles that require or permit application of the laws of any other state or jurisdiction. 

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

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

  
 93 

 (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER 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
THIS SECTION 11.10. 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 AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY SUCH DEFENSE. 
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO

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

ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 11.11 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act. 
 11.12 Payments Set Aside. To the extent the Borrower
makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any such payment which payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, other applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the
Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 94 

 11.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded
to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment
that is not principal as an expense, fee, 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. 
 11.14 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto
acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and
consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 
 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an
EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
