Employment Agreement with Jeffrey A. Croft

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement is entered into this 6th day of March, 2006, by and between Dominion Homes, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Company”) and Jeffrey Croft (hereinafter called the
“Employee”). 
 WHEREAS, Employee desires to accept employment with the Company and to serve the Company as President and Chief
Operating Officer; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the services of Employee as President and Chief Operating Officer;

 NOW, THEREFORE, and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the adequacy of which is agreed to by the parties, the
Company and the Employee hereby mutually agree as follows: 
 1. Employment and Duties. The Company hereby employs the Employee, and
the Employee hereby accepts continued employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Employee shall serve the Company as President and Chief Operating Officer. In such capacity, the Employee shall have all
powers, duties, and obligations as are normally associated with such position. The Employee shall further perform such other duties related to the business of the Company as may from time to time be reasonably requested of him by the Chief Executive
Officer. The Employee shall devote all of his skills, time, and attention solely and exclusively to said position and in furtherance of the business and interests of the Company. The Employee shall not directly or indirectly render any services of a
business, commercial or professional nature to any person or organization without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that the Employee shall not be precluded from (a) reasonable participation in community, civic,
charitable or similar organizations; (b) personal investments in publicly traded corporations of less than 1% of the total shares of such corporations; or (c) personal investments in any amount in securities issued by the Company.

 2. Term of Employment. This Agreement shall be effective upon execution by both parties and approval by the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”). The term of employment shall begin, or be deemed to have begun, on March 6, 2006 (the “Effective Date”). It shall continue through the three-year period ending on the day before the third anniversary
date of the Effective Date, subject, however, to prior termination or to extension, as herein provided. 
 3. Compensation. For such
services, the Employee shall receive an initial annual base salary of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), less applicable taxes and deductions, which may be increased, but not decreased without the Employee’s written consent, by the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) during the term of this Agreement. In the event that the 

 Committee increases the Employee’s initial base salary, the amount of the initial base salary, together with any
increase(s), shall be his base salary. Said base salary shall be payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. In addition, the Employee shall be included in the Company’s annual incentive
compensation program, which may be amended by the Company, on a calendar year basis, during the term of this Agreement (and any extensions thereof). For 2006, however, Employee shall be entitled to receive a guaranteed minimum bonus of $250,000,
subject to paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement, to be paid at such time as annual incentive bonuses are paid for similarly situated executives of the Company. 
 4. Fringe Benefits. The Company shall further provide the Employee with such health and life insurance coverages, sick leave and disability programs, tax-qualified retirement plans, equity plans, paid holidays,
perquisites, and other fringe benefits of employment as the Company may provide from time to time to actively employed executives of the Company who are similarly situated. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 4, during the
term of this Agreement (including extensions thereof), the Employee shall be entitled to a minimum of four (4) weeks of vacation per year. Further, notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Company may discontinue or
terminate at any time any employee benefit plan or program, now existing or hereafter adopted, to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan and shall not be required to compensate the Employee for such discontinuance or termination. 

5. Extension of Term of Agreement. The Company and Employee agree that the Company’s Board of Directors (or the Committee), shall review
the Employee’s performance with the Chief Executive Officer with the intent that, if the Employee’s performance so warrants, the Board may extend the term of this Agreement for additional time periods to be determined in the discretion of
the Board. By September 12, 2008, or, in the event that this Agreement is extended as provided for in this paragraph 5, within one hundred eighty (180) days preceding the end of any extension period, the Board shall notify the Employee of
its decision whether to grant an extension of this Agreement for an additional time period. In the event that the Board fails to notify the Employee, on or before the date described in the preceding sentence, of the extension of the term of this
Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for an additional one-year period. The first day of any extension shall be deemed the Effective Date for the Agreement, as extended. Each extension of this Agreement will be
treated as a new Agreement and will supercede all prior employment contracts. In the event that the Board of Directors notifies Employee that this Agreement will not be extended, such notice shall constitute a termination without Cause by the
Company.

 6. Termination of Employment. 
 a. Termination of Employment Other Than by Employee. The Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company at any time, with or
without cause. The consequences of termination will differ, however, based on whether the termination is for “cause.” The Company shall be deemed to have terminated the Employee’s employment for “cause,” as determined by the
Board, upon the following: 
 i. Any unauthorized material disclosure by the Employee of the Company’s business
practices or accounts to a competitor. 
 ii. Wrongful misappropriation by the Employee of funds, property, or rights of the
Company. 
 iii. Wrongful destruction of business records or other property by the Employee. 
 iv. Conviction of the Employee of a felony involving knowing, willful or reckless misconduct or, as the result of a plea bargain,
conviction of the Employee of a misdemeanor; provided, the Employee was originally charged (prior to the plea bargain) with a felony involving knowing, willful or reckless misconduct. 
 v. Gross misconduct by the Employee which results in serious damage to the Company. 
 vi. The Employee’s material breach of, or inability to perform his obligations under, this Agreement other than by reason of
Disability. 
 vii. Violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. 
 The foregoing is by way of example and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of events which may be deemed by the Board to give rise to a termination
for “cause.” 
 b. Termination of Employment by Employee. The Employee may terminate his employment at any time. However, he shall
be deemed to have terminated his employment for “Good Reason” only if he terminates his employment by giving Notice of Termination pursuant to Paragraphs 6(d) and 6(e)(iii) within ninety 
  

 3 

 (90) days after the occurrence of any of the following events (provided the Company does not cure such
event within ten (10) days following its receipt of the Employee’s Notice of Termination): 
 i. Without his
consent, the Employee’s base salary is reduced for any reason other than in connection with the termination of his employment. 
 ii. For any reason other than in connection with the termination of the Employee’s employment, without his consent, the Company materially reduces any fringe benefit provided to the Employee under Paragraph 4 below the rate of such
fringe benefit provided generally to other actively employed similarly situated executives of the Company, unless the Company agrees to fully compensate the Employee for any such material reduction, either through an adjustment to another fringe
benefit or otherwise. 
 iii. Without his consent, the Company permanently assigns the Employee to duties that are materially inconsistent in
any respect with his position (including, without limitation, his status, office, and title), authority, duties or responsibilities as set forth by Paragraph 1, (but excluding any other duties related to the business of the Company reasonably
requested of him by the Chief Executive Officer) or takes any other action that results in a permanent and material diminution in such position, authority, duties, or responsibilities. 
 iv. The Company otherwise materially breaches, or is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 c. Termination of Employment Upon Death or Disability of the Employee. The Employee’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death, and may be
terminated by the Company in the event of his Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means the Employee (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to
result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company.

  

 4 

 d. Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company hereunder, or
by the Employee other than termination upon the Employee’s death, shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a notice that shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated.

 e. Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means: 
 i. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death. 
 ii. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company as a result of Disability pursuant to Paragraph 6(c), the date that is thirty
(30) days after Notice of Termination is given; provided the Employee shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such thirty- (30-) day period. 
 iii. If the Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to Paragraph 6(b), the date that is ten (10) days after Notice of
Termination is given (provided that the Company does not cure such event during that ten- (10-) day period). 
 iv. If the Employee
terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, the date that is two (2) weeks after Notice of Termination is given; provided, in the sole discretion of the Company, such date may be any earlier date after Notice of Termination is given.

 v. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company either for Cause pursuant to Paragraph 6(a) or other than for Cause, the
date on which the Notice of Termination is given. 
 7. Amounts Payable Upon Termination of Employment or During Disability.

 a. Death. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by his death, the Employee’s beneficiary (as designated by the Employee in
writing with the Company prior to his death) shall be entitled to 
  

 5 

 the following payments and benefits: (i) any base salary that is accrued but unpaid, any vacation
that is accrued but unused, and any business expenses that are unreimbursed — all, as of the Date of Termination; (ii) a pro rata award under the incentive compensation program which is applicable to the Employee at the time of his death,
with proration based on service completed during the calendar year for which the award is determined, and payable when the award (and based on the award that) would have been paid had the Employee’s employment not terminated; and (iii) any
benefit following termination of employment for which he may be eligible under the terms of the fringe benefit plans, policies and programs described in Paragraph 4. In the absence of a beneficiary designation by the Employee, or, if the
Employee’s designated beneficiary does not survive the Employee, benefits described in this Paragraph 7(a) shall be paid to the Employee’s estate. 
 b. Disability. 
 i. During any period that the Employee fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of
incapacity due to physical or mental illness (“Disability Period”), the Employee shall continue to receive his base salary at the rate then in effect for such period until his employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 6(c); provided,
however, that payments of base salary so made to the Employee shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, that were payable to the Employee at or before the time of any such salary payment under any disability benefit plan or plans of the
Company and that were not previously applied to reduce any payment of base salary. 
 ii. Upon his termination of employment because of
Disability [as described in Paragraph 6(c)], the Employee shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits (A) any base salary that is accrued but unpaid, any vacation that is accrued but unused, and any business expenses that are
unreimbursed — all, as of the Date of Termination; (B) a pro rata award under the incentive compensation program which is applicable to the Employee at the time of his Disability, with proration based on service completed during the
calendar year for which the award is determined, and payable when the award (and based on the award that) would have been paid had the Employee’s employment not terminated; and (C) any benefit following termination of employment for which
he may be eligible under the terms of 
  

 6 

 the fringe benefit plans, policies and programs described in Paragraph 4. In the event of the
Employee’s death prior to the time that all payments described in Paragraph 7(b)(ii) have been completed, such payments and benefits shall continue to be paid in accordance with this Paragraph 7(b) to the Employee’s beneficiary [as
designated pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)], or, in the absence of a beneficiary designation or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Employee, to the Employee’s estate. 
 c. Termination by Company Without Cause, or Termination by Employee for Good Reason. In the event that the Company terminates the Employee’s
employment without Cause or the Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, including any extension thereof, the Employee shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:

 i. (A) any base salary that is accrued but unpaid, any vacation that is accrued but unused, and any business expenses that are
unreimbursed — all, as of the Date of Termination; and (B) any benefit following termination of employment for which he may be eligible under the terms of the fringe benefit plans, policies and programs described in Paragraph 4. In
addition, the Employee shall be entitled to a pro rata award under the incentive compensation program which is applicable to the Employee as of the Date of Termination, with proration based on service completed during the calendar year for which the
award is determined, and based on the award that would have been paid had the Employee’s employment not terminated. Such pro rata award shall be payable on the later of (I) the date on which the award would have been paid had the
Employee’s employment not terminated and (II) the first day of the seventh month following the Date of Termination; and 
 ii. On the
first day of the seventh month following the Date of Termination, the Employee will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to six months’ of the base salary applicable to the Employee on the Date of Termination. Beginning on the first
day of the seventh month following the Date of Termination, the Employee will be entitled to continuation of his base salary (applicable to the Employee on the Date of Termination) for a period of twelve months; provided that these payments will be
made in separate, equal payments no less frequently than monthly over such twelve-month period. 
  

 7 

 iii. Within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination, a lump sum cash payment equal to
eighteen (18) months of the premium applicable to the Employee on the Date of Termination for the Employee and his family (provided the Employee had family coverage on the Date of Termination) under the Company’s group health plan.

 In the event of the Employee’s death prior to the time that all payments described in Paragraph 7(c) have been completed, such
payments and benefits shall continue to be paid in accordance with this Paragraph 7(c) to the Employee’s beneficiary [as designated pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)], or, in the absence of a beneficiary designation or if the designated beneficiary
does not survive the Employee, to the Employee’s estate. 
 d. Termination by Employee Other Than for Good Reason, or Termination by
Company for Cause. In the event that the Employee terminates his employment other than for Good Reason or the Company terminates his employment for Cause, the Employee shall not be entitled to any compensation except as set forth below: 

i. Any base salary (but not incentive compensation) that is accrued but unpaid, any vacation that is accrued but unused, and any business expenses
that are unreimbursed — all, as of the Date of Termination. 
 ii. Any other rights and benefits (if any) provided under plans and
programs of the Company (excluding any incentive compensation program), determined in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of such plans and programs. 
 In the event of the Employee’s death prior to the time that all payments described in Paragraph 7(d) have been completed, such payments and benefits shall continue to be paid in accordance with this Paragraph
7(d) to the Employee’s beneficiary [as designated pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)], or, in the absence of a beneficiary designation or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Employee, to the Employee’s estate. 
 e. No Duty to Mitigate Damages. After any Date of Termination, the Employee shall have no obligation to seek other 
  

 8 

 employment, but, subject to the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 10, shall have the right to be
otherwise employed, and any compensation of any type whatsoever received by the Employee in connection with such employment shall not be offset by the Company against any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. 
 8. Change In Control. 
 a. Occurrence
of Change in Control. Immediately upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control,” the Employee shall become fully vested in all employee benefit programs (other than any tax qualified retirement plan, the Employee’s interest in which
shall vest in accordance with such plan’s terms), including without limitation, all stock options and restricted shares in which he was a participant at the time of the Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in
Control” means the occurrence of the first of any of the following events: 
 i. Douglas Borror and David Borror both cease to be
members of Company’s Board of Directors; or 
 ii. Any direct or indirect acquisition by a “person,” including a
“group” [as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Act”)] after which the “person” or “group” is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 40 percent of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; provided, however, that “person” or
“group” will not include [a] the Company, [b] any entity under common control with the Company [within the meaning of Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”)], [c] BRC Properties Inc. or any of
its shareholders or members of the family [as defined in Code §318] of Donald Borror or [d] any employee benefit plan of any entity described in Section [2][a], [b] and/or [c] of this definition; or 
 iii. The adoption or authorization by the shareholders of the Company of a definitive agreement or a series of related agreements [a] for the merger or
other business combination of the Company with or into another entity in which the shareholders of the Company immediately before the effective date of that merger or other business combination own less than 50 percent of the voting power in the
entity immediately after the effective date of that merger or other business combination; or [b] for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
  

 9 

 iv. The adoption by the shareholders of the Company of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution
of the Company. 
 b. Termination of Employment. If, at any time within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Company
terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause or the Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason, the provisions of this Paragraph 8(b) shall be applicable, instead of the provisions of Paragraph 7(c). To the extent that the
provisions of this Paragraph 8(b) are applicable, the Employee shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits: 
 i. (A) any
base salary that is accrued but unpaid, any vacation that is accrued but unused, and any business expenses that are unreimbursed — all, as of the Date of Termination; (B) a pro rata award under the incentive compensation program which is
applicable to the Employee as of his Date of Termination, with such award calculated based on the Employee’s target award and with proration based on service completed during the calendar year for which the award is determined, and payable on
the first day of the seventh month following the Date of Termination; and (C) any benefit following termination of employment for which he may be eligible under the terms of the fringe benefit plans, policies and programs described in Paragraph
4; provided all cash payments required under subclauses (A) and (C) of this paragraph shall be made within five (5) calendar days of the Date of Termination; 
 ii. The lump sum payment, as described in Paragraph 7(c)(iii); except that such cash payment shall be made within five (5) calendar days of the Date
of Termination; 
 iii. A single lump sum payment, payable on the first day of the seventh month following the Date of Termination, equal to
two (2) times the Employee’s annual base salary in effect upon the Date of Termination; and 
 iv. Reimbursement of all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Employee during the first six (6) months following the Date of Termination through the use of any executive out-placement services to assist him to seek other employment, which shall include, but not be limited to
(A)
  

 10 

 secretarial services, use of an office, phone, office supplies and office services comparable to the
level of such services and supplies available to the Employee prior to the Date of Termination and (B) all unreimbursed travel expenses incurred by the Employee to seek other employment up to a maximum amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).

 9. Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Employee’s continuing or future
participation in any incentive, fringe benefit, deferred compensation, or other plan or program provided by the Company and for which the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Employee may have
under any other agreements with the Company. Amounts that are vested benefits or that the Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Company at or after the Date of Termination, shall be payable in accordance with
such plan or program. 
 10. Noncompetition Covenant. The Employee agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, including any
extension thereof, and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, he shall not: 
 a. Anywhere in any market in which the Company
or any of its affiliates is then conducting business (including, but not limited to Central Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, and any locality in which the Company or any of its affiliates has begun to develop land for the purpose of
entering the residential homebuilding market), without the written consent of the Company, provide advice with respect to, engage in or directly or indirectly supervise or assist the provision of any service or sale of any product which competes
with any service or product of the Company or any of its affiliates; or 
 b. Anywhere in any state, accept employment with, provide advice
to, or engage in or directly or indirectly supervise or assist the provision of any service or sale of any product by any person, company, partnership, corporation or other entity which builds homes, develops land, or otherwise competes with the
Company or any of its affiliates in any market, city or area in which the Company or any of its affiliates then conducts business; or 
 c.
Solicit any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its affiliates on behalf of any business entity that competes with a service or a product of the Company or any of its affiliates; or 
 d. Hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to encouraging any such employee to terminate
his or her employment with the Company or any affiliate. 
  

 11 

 Any breach of these Covenants shall be treated the same as a termination by the Company for Cause. In addition, in the
event of any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to recoupment of all payments made to Employee pursuant to Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement (other than such amounts as Employee would be entitled to under a termination by the Company for
Cause) and to stop any remaining payments still owed to Employee under these provisions. 
 The restrictions on competition provided herein
may be enforced by the Company and/or any successor thereto, by an action to recover payments made under this Agreement, an action for injunction, and/or an action for damages. In the event that the Company prevails in enforcing this Paragraph 10
through judgment, ruling, court order, or settlement, the Company shall be entitled to recover, in addition to damages or any equitable relief, its reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees related to such enforcement. 
 The provisions of this Paragraph 10 constitute an essential element of this Agreement, without which the Company would not have entered into this
Agreement. Notwithstanding any other remedy available to the Company at law or at equity, the parties hereto agree that the Company or any successor thereto, shall have the right, at any and all times, to seek injunctive relief in order to enforce
the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 10. 
 If the scope of any restriction contained in this Paragraph 10 is too broad to permit
enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, then such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any
proceeding brought to enforce such restriction. 
 11. Confidential Information. The Employee shall hold in a fiduciary capacity, for
the benefit of the Company, all secret or confidential information, knowledge, and data relating to the Company and its affiliates, that shall have been obtained by the Employee during his employment with the Company and/or any of its affiliates and
that is not public knowledge (other than by acts by the Employee or his representatives in violation of this Agreement). During and after termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge, or data to anyone other than the Company or those designated by it, unless the communication of such information, knowledge or data is required pursuant to a
compulsory proceeding in which the Employee’s failure to provide such information, knowledge, or data would subject the Employee to criminal or civil sanctions. 
  

 12 

 The restrictions imposed on the release of information described in the preceding paragraph may be
enforced by the Company and/or any successor thereto, by an action to recover payments made under this Agreement, an action for injunction, and/or an action for damages. The provisions of this Paragraph 11 constitute an essential element of this
Agreement, without which the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other remedy available to the Company at law or at equity, the parties hereto agree that the Company or any successor thereto, shall have the right,
at any and all times, to seek injunctive relief in order to enforce the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 11. 
 If the scope of any
restriction contained in this Paragraph 11 is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, then such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that
such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction. 
 12. Intellectual Property.
The Employee agrees to communicate to the Company, promptly and fully, and to assign to the Company all intellectual property developed or conceived solely by the Employee, or jointly with others, during the term of his employment, which are within
the scope of the Company’s business, or which utilized Company materials or information. For purposes of this Agreement, “intellectual property” means inventions, discoveries, business or technical innovations, creative or
professional work product, or works of authorship. The Employee further agrees to execute all necessary papers and otherwise to assist the Company, at the Company’s sole expense, to obtain patents, copyrights or other legal protection as the
Company deems fit. Any such intellectual property is to be the property of the Company whether or not patented, copyrighted or published. 
 13. Assignment and Survivorship of Benefits. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Company. If the Company shall at
any time be merged or consolidated into, or with, any other company, or if all or substantially all of the assets or outstanding voting securities of the Company are transferred to another company, then the provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the company resulting from such merger or consolidation or to which such assets or securities have been transferred, and this provision shall apply in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation, or
transfer.

 16. Taxes. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made hereunder by the Company to the Employee shall be subject to withholding of such amounts relating to taxes
as the Company may reasonably determine that it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulations. In lieu of withholding such amounts, in whole or in part, however, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept other provision for
payment of taxes, provided that it is satisfied that all requirements of the law affecting its responsibilities to withhold such taxes have been satisfied.

pursuant to, the laws of the State of Ohio. The captions of this Agreement shall not be part of the provisions hereof, and shall have no force or effect. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this paragraph, the failure of either party to insist in any instance on the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or

 19. Release and
Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to make payments to the Employee upon the termination of his employment as contemplated herein unless the Employee executes a waiver
and release of claims which is acceptable to the Company.

agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and the parties have made no agreement, representations, or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not set forth herein. This Agreement may be amended at
any time by written agreement of both parties, but it shall not be amended by oral agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Employee agrees, without any further consideration, to consent to any amendment necessary

this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided
in paragraph (e) 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 this Agreement, 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 the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply 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 Lenders nor the 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 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 the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the 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 the 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 the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be
deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
  

 42 

 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether
the 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 Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect
to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the 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 Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then
Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of the Issuing
Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the 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 2.11(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. 
 (j) 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 Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, 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 Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the 

  

 43 

 
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, 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 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 greater than 50% 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 within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative
Agent to the Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Borrowing that such Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with 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 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 compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue

  

 44 

 
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion
shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business
Days before the date of the proposed election or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 pm, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed election, of the Type resulting from such election to be made on
the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify
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 which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to
such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR
Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to
be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to
a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.
Notwithstanding any contrary 

  

 45 

 
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 Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted
to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate,
or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments as so reduced. 
 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at
least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the
Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is
made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a Register in accordance
with Section 9.04(b)(iv). 
 (c) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the
Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times 

  

 46 

 
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee
named therein. 
 SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans and Asset Sale Offer. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one
Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment
date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type
as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

 (c) If, at any time, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries shall exceed $10,000,000,
within three Business Days of such date, the entire amount of such Excess Proceeds shall be offered (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to the Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments to be applied to the
permanent reduction of the total Commitments on the date that is 10 Business Days after the making of such Asset Sale Offer. If a Lender does not accept such Asset Sale Offer within five Business Days of the making of such Asset Sale Offer by
providing notice of its acceptance to the Administrative Agent, such amount may be used by the Borrower for any purposes not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. 
 (d) If, at any time, a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day thereof, make an offer (the “Change in Control Offer”) to permanently terminate the
Commitments of all accepting Lenders on that date that is 10 Business Days after the making of such Change in Control Offer. The Commitments of all Lenders that have so accepted such offer shall be permanently terminated on such tenth Business Day.

 (e) Any reduction or termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or (d) shall be accompanied by prepayment of the
Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans of (or participated in by) the Lenders who have accepted the Asset Sale Offer or the Change in Control Offer, as applicable, to the extent, if any, that the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of such Lenders
exceed the total Commitments of such Lenders as so reduced; 

  

 47 

 
provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of (or participated in by) the Lenders who have accepted the
Asset Sale Offer or Change in Control Offer, as applicable, then outstanding is less than the Commitments of such Lenders as so reduced (because L/C Exposure constitutes a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such
excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in immediately available funds in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash
collateral account to secure all L/C Exposure of the Issuing Bank and such Lenders from time to time outstanding and all other Credit Agreement Obligations of such Lenders). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in
such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and such Lenders or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount of such excess, the Borrower shall,
forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount of such excess over (b) the
total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be made,
first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. 
 SECTION 2.11 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Commitment of such Lender terminates, computed at
the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December
of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing 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). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender a participation fee (an “LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Revolving 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 Closing Date to but excluding the later
of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the 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 (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing 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 Issuing Bank’s standard and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. LC 

  

 48 

 
Participation Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the
third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing 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 Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All LC 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) 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) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in
the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and LC Participation Fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.12 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for
the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) 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, 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 of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, upon termination of the Commitments; 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 (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), 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 Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) 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 

  

 49 

 
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, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
a 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 for such Interest Period will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy 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 Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition 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 the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
  

 50 

 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (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 applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue
or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of 
  

 51 

 
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of
such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. 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 shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes), the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall 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 the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the 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 (including such Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and 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; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in respect of
penalties or interest attributable to any Indemnified Taxes if (i) written demand therefor has not been made by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank within 90 days from the date on which the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank knew of the imposition of Indemnified Taxes by the relevant Governmental Authority, or (ii) such penalties or interest are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank. After the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank learns of the imposition of Indemnified Taxes, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will act in good faith to promptly
notify the Borrower of its obligations hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes (including
Other Taxes) by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority and in any event within 30 days of any such payment being made, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the 

  

 52 

 
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) Each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully
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 request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States of America is a party; 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; or 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit I, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN. 
 (f) Each Foreign Lender
agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction or any certification previously provided to the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower. 
 (g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified
Taxes (including 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 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 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 or such Lender 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 or such Lender, 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 or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to
the Borrower or any other Person. 

  

 53 

 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower, the payment of which would place such
Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid. 
 SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) 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 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off 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 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment 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 shall be made in U.S. dollars. 
 (b) If at any
time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment
of 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, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements
or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received
by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary
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 Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans; 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 any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express 

  

 54 

 
terms of this Agreement or 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 or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph 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 set-off 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. 
 (d) 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 Bank 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 Bank, 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 Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or 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. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, 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 2.14 or 2.16, 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) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, 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 Section 9.04), all its 

  

 55 

 
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, 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) and (iii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and 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. 
 SECTION 2.19 New Commitments. 
 (a)
The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to request at any time prior to the Maturity Date, an increase to the existing Commitments (any such increase, the “New Commitments”), by an amount (i) not
in excess of $100,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent). Such notice shall specify (A) the
date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date on which such
notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person (each, a “New Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such
allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment and, if such Person shall not already be a Lender
hereunder, such Person shall be approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date so long as
(1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments and the use of the proceeds therefrom; (2) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be
satisfied on such Increased Amount Date and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower; (3) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to
one or more Assignment and Assumption and an amendment to this Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in
Section 2.16(e) and (f); (4) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with the New Commitments; and (5) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions, board
resolutions authorizing the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness (to the extent not previously authorized), or other closing certificates and documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction
(including confirmation that the obligations of the Loan Parties with respect to such New Commitments (and any Loans or extensions of credit thereunder) are secured by the Collateral and the priority of the Administrative Agent’s Lien in such
Collateral has not been affected by the New Commitments. 
  

 56 

 (b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of
the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the New Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such
interests in the Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Loans will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with
their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Commitments to the Commitments, (ii) each New Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Commitment and each Loan made thereunder following such assignment (a
“New Loan”) shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Loan and (iii) each New Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Commitment and all matters relating thereto. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect
thereof (i) the New Commitments and the New Lenders, and (ii) in the case of each notice to any Lender, the respective interests in such Lender’s Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section. 

(d) The terms and provisions of the New Loans shall be identical to the Loans. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 9.02, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any of the Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give
effect to the provision of this Section 2.19. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 Representations and Warranties 
 The Borrower and Holdings each represents and
warrants to the Lenders that: 
 SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 
 SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the corporate or other organizational powers of each of Holdings, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder action. Each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by each of
the Loan Parties party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
  

 57 

 SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any
consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate (i) any applicable law or regulation
or any order of any Governmental Authority except where such violation, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their assets, or give
rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except where such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the GM/OnStar Liens).

 SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of
Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, has been prepared
giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Loans to be made and the New Senior Notes to be issued on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof, (ii) the tender for and/or redemption of any or all of the
Secured Notes on or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing, and (iv) exchanges of approximately $80,000,000 principal amount at maturity of certain Secured Notes for Equity
Interests and repurchase of shares of Holdings’ Series B Preferred Stock for approximately $18,300,000. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to Holdings and the Borrower as of the date of
delivery thereof, and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Holdings, the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005, assuming that the events specified in the
preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. 
 (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of Holdings and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an
unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash
flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the year ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its
consolidated cash flows for the year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by
the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). None of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any material Guarantees, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term 

  

 58 

 
leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in
respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2005 to and including the date hereof there has been no disposition by any of Holdings,
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property. 
 (c) Since December 31, 2005, there has been
no material adverse change in the business, assets, properties, liabilities (actual and contingent), operations or financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than (i) as shall have been disclosed in
Holdings’ and the Borrowers’ public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (ii) as otherwise disclosed to the Lenders in writing, in each case prior to the effective date of the Commitment Letter). 
 SECTION 3.05 Litigation. (a) As of the Closing Date, all significant claims, actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule 3.05 hereto. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 3.05(a) or Schedule 3.05, there are no material claims, actions, suits or proceedings by or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable
possibility of an adverse determination that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. 
 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the matters set forth on Schedule 3.05 that, individually or in
the aggregate, has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.06 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
continuing. 
 SECTION 3.07 Investment Company Status. Neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an
“investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 SECTION 3.08
Taxes. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has (a) timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and all such Tax returns and reports are true and correct in all material
respects, and (b) has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it and all material assessments received by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings 
  

 59 

 
and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Each of Holdings, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP for all Taxes not yet due and payable. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is unaware of any proposed or pending tax assessments,
deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.09 ERISA. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect
to each Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Plan. Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
indicating that such Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the
Internal Revenue Service, any Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. The present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed
by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans. As of the most recent valuation date
for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA),
when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is $25,000,000. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied
with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan. No such
Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. 
 SECTION 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) None of Holdings, the
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. 
 (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to
purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose that violates the Margin Regulations.

 SECTION 3.11 Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good
and valid record fee simple title to (in the 
  

 60 

 
case of owned real property), or good title to or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, or has a license to use,
all its real and personal property and assets material to its business, 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. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than (in the case of any such properties or assets other than Equity Interests) Permitted Liens and (in the case of Equity Interests) Liens referenced in clauses
(a), (b), (f) and (g) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”. 
 (b) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a party, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in
respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such
leases, other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) owns or has a license to use, on terms not materially adverse to it, all Intellectual
Property and rights with respect thereto necessary for the present conduct of its business, without any conflict (of which the Borrower has been notified in writing) with the rights of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions on the present
conduct of its business, except where the failure to own or have a license to use could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) has taken commercially reasonable steps, consistent with industry standards, to
maintain and protect its Intellectual Property, except where the failure to maintain and protect any such Intellectual Property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is infringing upon, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person, except where any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution, or violation could not reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no pending or threatened claim or litigation against any of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries alleging any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or
other violation. With respect to each item of Intellectual Property, each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) has the right to use and possesses all right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property free and clear of
any Liens, licenses or other restrictions, other than Permitted Liens, and (ii) has performed all acts (including making all necessary recordations and filings) and has paid all required fees and taxes to maintain such Intellectual Property in
full force and effect and to protect and maintain its interest therein, except where the failure to maintain or have the right to use any such Intellectual Property could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and
jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization of each Subsidiary of the Borrower and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or by any such Subsidiary. 
  

 61 

 SECTION 3.13 Disclosure. Each of Holdings and the Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all

requested. If such visit and inspection occurs at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing, such visit and inspection by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be coordinated through the Administrative Agent and shall be limited
to one visit and inspection during any consecutive twelve-month period.

shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower solely by virtue of being unsecured. 
 For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xiv) above, the Borrower

materially adverse to any Loan Party or the Lenders, except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement or with the prior consent of the Required Lenders.

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 The Administrative Agent 
 SECTION 8.01 Appointment. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank
hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 SECTION 8.02 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The
bank 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 such bank and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any 
  

 88 

 
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing
as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall
not 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 Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 SECTION
8.04 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement
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.

 SECTION 8.05 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. 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. 
 SECITON 8.06 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers 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 through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.07 Successor Administrative Agent . Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of 
  

 89 

 
Borrower so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to appoint a
successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. 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 Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and
Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 SECTION 8.09 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective
principal amounts of its applicable outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as applicable and if no such amounts are outstanding, in accordance with the Commitments hereunder as in effect immediately prior to such termination)),
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay
by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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 Bank and the
Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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 the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default
at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or 

  

 92 

 
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 no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any
fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or
(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “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, or (vi) modify the
protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(e) without the written consent of such SPC; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) 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 counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with Intralinks (and related expenses) and the preparation and administration of this Agreement
or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection
with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or, after an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing hereunder, any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection
with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arrangers, the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of claims (other than a
claim by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan 

  

 93 

 
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if
the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, from or to any property currently or formerly
owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way, directly or indirectly, 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 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 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. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, 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, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the 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 or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), Indemnitees and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  

 94 

 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans, reimbursements and other obligations at the time owing to it), solely to the extent (1) required by
law or regulation, (2) such Lender’s risk managers determine (and advise the Borrower in writing) that doing so is advisable in view of safe and sound risk management practices or (3) failure to do so would reasonably jeopardize such
Lender’s ability to address regulatory concerns (and where such Lender shall have provided the Borrower such notice of the same as is reasonable under the circumstances), with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to
giving effect to such assignment or to a branch or an affiliate of an assigning Lender; and 
 (C) the Issuing Bank.

 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) 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, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of
one Class of Commitments or Loans; 
 (C) 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; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information 

  

 95 

 
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be
made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitment of, and principal amount, Class, Type and Interest Period
of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall also set forth the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the
account of the Lenders and such Lender’s share thereof. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), 

  

 96 

 
the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein
in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans,
reimbursements and other obligations owing to it) solely to the extent (x) (1) required by law or regulation, (2) such Lender’s risk managers determine (and advise the Borrower in writing) that doing so is advisable in view of
safe and sound risk management practices or (3) failure to do so would reasonably jeopardize such Lender’s ability to address regulatory concerns, and (y) such Lender shall have provided the Borrower such notice of the same as is
reasonable under the circumstances; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender shall 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 affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 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 Section 9.10 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold
to such 

  

 97 

 
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of
such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Revolving Loans that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Revolving Loans and (ii) if an SPC elects not to
exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Revolving Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Revolving Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Revolving Loan by an SPC hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Revolving Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under
this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one
year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without
the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Revolving Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions
(consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Revolving Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Revolving Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 SECTION 9.05 Agreements of Holdings. (a) Holdings hereby agrees that it will be bound by each of the covenants in Article V and Article VI of
this Agreement as if named therein as the Borrower (except that references to its Subsidiaries shall not include any Person that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower), except as provided in Schedule 9.05(a), until such time as
(a) the Release Date shall have occurred and (b) all of the operating assets of Holdings necessary for the conduct of the Borrower’s business (other than the XM-4 Satellite Collateral) have been transferred to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Loan Party (the “Holdings Collateral Transfer”) and Holdings shall have delivered a notice to the Administrative Agent in 
  

 98 

 
the form of Exhibit H hereto (the “Holdings Covenant and Collateral Release Notice”) certifying that such Holdings Collateral
Transfer has occurred (the “Holdings Covenant and Collateral Release Date”). From and after the Holdings Covenant and Collateral Release Date, (i) Holdings shall not be bound by any of the covenants in Article V or Article VI (other
than Sections 5.10, 6.03(a), 6.11(a), 6.12 and 6.13, to which it shall continue to be bound as if named therein as the Borrower) of this Agreement and (ii) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.04(c), 3.05, 3.11, 3.13 and 3.14, as such
representations and warranties apply to Holdings, shall be limited as provided Schedule 9.05(b). 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
until the first extension of credit is made under this Agreement, Holdings shall not be bound by any of the covenants set forth in Article VI (other than Sections 6.03(a), 6.11(a), 6.12 and 6.13, with respect to which it shall at all times be bound
as if named therein as the Borrower). In addition, Holdings agrees that at all times, whether before, on or after the date of the first extension of credit under this Agreement and whether before, on or after the Holdings Covenant and Collateral
Release Date, it shall not incur secured Indebtedness other than Permitted Holdings Debt and its Guarantor Obligations. 
 (c) For the
avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree (x) that the Excluded Entities shall not be restricted by the covenants set forth in Articles V and VI hereof, and (y) that liabilities appearing on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings
which are liabilities of one or more Excluded Entities but which are not liabilities of Holdings shall not be considered liabilities of Holdings for purposes of determining compliance by Holdings with any of the covenants set forth in Articles V or
VI hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06 XM-4 Satellite Collateral. In the event that the XM-4 Satellite Collateral shall no longer
constitute “Collateral” in accordance with the terms hereof and one or more of the Loan Parties creates a security interest in all or part of the XM-4 Satellite Collateral in favor of secured parties other than the New Secured Parties, the
Loan Parties shall have the right to enter into license and/or access agreements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and which agreements shall be deemed acceptable so long as and to the extent that they cover
only such matters described in this Section 9.06 in the manner set forth herein) (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to approve the commercial terms of any such license agreement unless any such term
contravenes this Section 9.06) under which the Loan Parties shall grant to the representative of such secured parties one or more licenses (which may be royalty free) or other rights to use, and reasonable access to, Indivisible Ancillary XM-4
Satellite Collateral; provided that the Loan Parties certify to the Administrative Agent that such use of and/or access will not impair in any material respect the use or access to such Indivisible Ancillary XM-4 Satellite Collateral by any
of the Loan Parties in the conduct of their business. At the request of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent shall consent to such agreements and enter into one or more agreements on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
whereby it agrees to be bound by the terms of such license and access agreements in the event of any foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on such Indivisible Ancillary XM-4 Satellite Collateral. 
 SECTION 9.07 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and Holdings 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 
  

 99 

 
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the 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 Loan or any fee or any
other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII
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 9.08 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement 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 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 which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.09
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 9.10 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by
such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each of its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender or Affiliate may have. 
 SECTION 9.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
  

 100 

 (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive 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 for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby 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 or, to the extent permitted by 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 shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each of Holdings and the Borrower
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement 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 to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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 THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.13 Headings. Article and Section headings and
the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.14 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, 
  

 101 

 
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel (including outside counsel), auditors (including independent auditors), and other advisors (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), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority,
(iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action
or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations,
(vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) 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, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender or its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from
the Borrower 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. 
 (b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.14(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 (c) ALL
INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE
QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW. 
  

 102 

 SECTION 9.15 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.16 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and the
Administrative Agent hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan
Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act.
