(y) ticking fees or unused line fees and (z) customary consent fees paid generally to consenting Lenders; provided, further, for purposes of determining the All-In Yield under Repricing Transactions or Incremental Term Loans,

 “Applicable Percentage” means (a) in respect of
the Term Facility, with respect to any Term Lender at any time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Term Facility, represented by (i) at on or prior to the Closing Date, such Term Lender’s Term Commitment at such

or if the Revolving Credit Commitments have expired, then the Applicable Percentage of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be determined based on the Applicable Percentage of such Revolving Credit Lender most recently in effect, giving effect to any
subsequent assignments. The initial Applicable Percentage of each Lender is set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Assumption, Instrument of Accession or other instrument, as the case may be,
pursuant to which such Lender becomes a party hereto, as applicable. 
 “Applicable Rate” means:

Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such request and determine
whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 12:00 p.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers (which
notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole

 -43- 

 
Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the

Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by

provided above. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans of any Class may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required
Term Lenders, as applicable. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the interest rate
applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any change in Bank of
America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

“Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers. 

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to
applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile,
by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application (other than
for IRB LOCs) must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree
in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, and the timing of submission of the Letter of Credit Application with respect to an IRB LOC shall be as determined by
the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrowers. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, the related Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed
issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the

  
 -47- 

 
case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (w) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (y) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (z) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally,
the Borrowers shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to any requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent may require. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application at the address set forth
in Section 10.02 for receiving L/C Applications and related correspondence, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such
Letter of Credit Application from the Borrowers and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative
Agent or any Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date (which, in the case of an IRB LOC, shall be a date satisfactory to such L/C Issuer), issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower
or its applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each
Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
 (iii) If the Borrowers so request in any applicable
Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not
later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be
required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer
to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has
determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it 

  
 -48- 

 
has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent
that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02
is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 
 (iv) If the Borrowers
so request in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any
drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer to permit such
reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate
all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the applicable L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any
portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), such L/C Issuer shall not permit
such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving
Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such
reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement. 

(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect
thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or, with
respect to any IRB LOC, the time set forth therein), or within 2 hours after notice, if such notice occurs after 11:00 a.m. (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative
Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify 

  
 -49- 

 
each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such
an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Revolving Credit
Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
applicable L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of
the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving
Credit Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each
Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuers for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility, interest in
respect of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer. 

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuers
for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or 

  
 -50- 

 
any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by
the Borrowers of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of
Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii),
then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer
submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any
Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit
Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any
payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) or (d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the
Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 -51- 

 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including,
without limitation, the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers
or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

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

(iv) waiver by such L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of
the Borrowers or any waiver by such L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrowers; 
 (v) honor of a
demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; 

(vi) any payment made by such L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the
expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC or the ISP, as applicable; 

(vii) any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

  
 -52- 

 (viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary. 

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of
any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable
L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Credit Lender
and each of the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuers shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related
Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders or
the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument
related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee under any Applicable Law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of
Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to
pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C
Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuers shall not be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason. The L/C Issuers may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other
commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. 

  
 -53- 

 (g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C
Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP
shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrowers for, and no L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or
inaction of such L/C Issuer required under any law, order, or practice that is required to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Laws or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located,
the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services
Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. 

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender
in accordance with its Revolving Credit Percentage or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to
the Applicable Rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans maintained as Eurodollar Rate Loans then in effect, multiplied by the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed
on a quarterly basis in arrears. For purposes of computing the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Such Letter of
Credit Fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately
for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees
shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
 (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrowers
shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.25% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such
fronting fees shall be (x) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (y) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be
determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of each L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable. 

  
 -54- 

 (j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof
and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (k) Appointment of Additional L/C Issuers. In addition to
Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Comerica Bank, the Borrowers may from time to time, with notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders and the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and
the applicable Revolving Credit Lender being so appointed, appoint additional Revolving Credit Lenders to be L/C Issuers and increase the Letter of Credit Sublimit by the aggregate amount consented to by the consenting increasing or additional L/C
Issuers. Upon the appointment of a Lender as an L/C Issuer hereunder such Person shall become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder. 

(l) Action Taken by Revolving Credit Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.03, the
Revolving Credit Commitments of, or the portion of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings held or deemed held by, any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for purposes of determining the percentage of Revolving Credit Lenders taking or approving any
action under this Section 2.03 and such matters shall be determined as though such Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and portion of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings held by such Defaulting Lenders did not
exist. 
 (m) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is
in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance
of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 

(n) Reporting of Letter of Credit Information. At any time that any Lender other than the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is
an L/C Issuer, then (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (iii) on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any
Letter of Credit, and (iv) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer (or, in the case of part (ii), (iii) or (iv), the applicable L/C Issuer) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer) with respect to each Letter of
Credit issued by such L/C Issuer that is outstanding hereunder. No failure on the part of any L/C Issuer to provide such information pursuant to this Section 2.03(n) shall limit the obligation of the Borrowers or any applicable Lender
hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations, respectively, pursuant to this Section 2.03. 

2.04 Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in 

  
 -55- 

 
this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the
Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, (x) that after giving effect to any Swing Line
Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment, (y) the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may
borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base
Rate Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:30 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum
of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or
in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:30 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to
make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers at
its office by crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. 

  
 -56- 

 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby
irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a
copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Lending Office not later than 1:00
p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line
Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing
Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Revolving Credit
Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date
such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line
Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 -57- 

 (iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit
Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02). No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the
Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is
required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall
pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on
the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest
in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line
Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 2.05 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional. 

(i) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.05(a)(i), the Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative
Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice may be in any form on an electronic platform or electronic
transmission system or another form approved by the Administrative Agent or in a writing appropriately signed by a Responsible Officer and containing the information specified in this Section below and be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 12:00 p.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire
principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant
Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrowers, and to the extent provided therein, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment
of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof as directed by the Borrowers (provided that in the event that the Borrowers do not specify the order in which to apply prepayments, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have elected that such prepayment be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal of such Term Loans in reverse order of maturity), and subject to Section 2.18, each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) the Borrowers shall not be permitted to prepay the Initial Term Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.05(a)(i) during the period from the Closing Date through the date ten Business Days thereafter, and (y) any prepayment of the Initial Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction consummated prior to the
six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date shall be subject to payment of the premium described in Section 2.19. 

(ii) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from
time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or less if less than such amount is outstanding. 

  
 -59- 

 
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, and to the extent provided therein, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and
the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
 (b) Mandatory 

(i) Within fifteen (15) days after annual financial statements have been delivered pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility equal to (x) the Excess Cash Flow Percentage
multiplied by (y) Consolidated Excess Operating Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements, minus (z) the sum of the following: (i) voluntary prepayments (or purchases) during such fiscal year of Indebtedness
under the Term Loan Facility (or any Incremental Term Facility) and Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, (but only to the extent that commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility are permanently reduced by the amount of
such prepayment), (ii) regularly scheduled principal amortization payments made in cash on any of the Borrowers’ Consolidated Funded Debt (including the principal component of payment in respect of Capitalized Leases), and
(iii) mandatory repayments (whether scheduled or otherwise) or repurchases of principal (including any premium, make-whole or penalty payments) of the Term Facility, in each case of clauses (z)(i)-(iii) during such fiscal year or,
at the Parent’s election, on or prior to the 90th day after the end of such fiscal year (and without duplication in the next fiscal year). 

(ii) If any of the Borrower or any Non-Borrower Subsidiary (other than the Insurance Subsidiary) Disposes of any property
(other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, and other than any Excluded Asset Disposition and other than the Permitted Westbrook Disposition) which, in any such case, results in the realization by such Person of Net Cash
Proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the Net Cash Proceeds received from all such Dispositions during the
immediately preceding twelve month period (calculated after giving effect to the proviso below) no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter during which such Disposition occurred (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in
clauses (v) and (viii) below, as applicable); provided that, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a Disposition described in this Section 2.05(b)(ii), at the election of the Borrowers (as
notified by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter during which such Disposition occurred), and so long as no Event Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers may
reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in operating assets of the Borrowers so long as (A) within 330 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, such reinvestment shall have been consummated (or a definitive agreement to so
reinvest shall have been executed), and (B) if a definitive agreement to so reinvest has been executed within such 330-day period, then such reinvestment shall have been consummated within 330 days after the date such definitive agreement was
executed. 

  
 -60- 

 (iii) Upon the occurrence of a Recovery Event with respect to the Borrowers
which, in any such case, results in the realization by such Person of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom in excess of $5,000,000 in the
aggregate for the Net Cash Proceeds received from all such Recovery Events during the immediately preceding twelve month period (calculated after giving effect to the proviso below) no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter during
which such Recovery Event occurred (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (v) and (viii) below, as applicable); provided that, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a Recovery Event described
in this Section 2.05(b)(iii), at the election of the Borrowers (as notified by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter during which such Recovery Event occurred), and so long as
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in the replacement or restoration of any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or
operating assets of the Borrowers so long as (A) within 330 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, such reinvestment shall have been consummated (or a definitive agreement to so reinvest shall have been executed), and (B) if a definitive
agreement (including, without limitation, a construction agreement) to so reinvest has been executed within such 330-day period, then such reinvestment shall have been consummated within 330 days after the date such definitive agreement was
executed. 
 (iv) Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Borrowers of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly
permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrowers
(such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (v) and (viii) below, as applicable). 
 (v)
Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, to the Term Facility and to the principal repayment installments thereof as directed by the Borrowers and specified in
the notice of prepayment, (provided that in the event that the Borrowers do not specify the order in which to apply prepayments, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected that such prepayment be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of
principal of such Term Loans in reverse order of maturity) and, second, to the Revolving Credit Facility without any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments in the manner set forth in clause (viii) of this
Section 2.05(b). Subject to Section 2.18 and clause (vi) below, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the relevant Facilities. 

(vi) The Borrowers shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due. Such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed
calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and, in any event, within one (1)

  
 -61- 

 
Business Day) give notice to each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrowers’ prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Applicable Percentage or other applicable share
provided for under this Agreement of the prepayment. Each Appropriate Lender may elect (in its sole discretion) to decline all (but not less than all) of its Applicable Percentage or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the
prepayment (such amounts so declined, the “Declined Amounts”) of any mandatory prepayment by giving notice of such election in writing (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York
City time), on the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the date that such prepayment is due. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be
deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. The aggregate amount of the Declined Amounts
shall be retained by the Borrowers and/or applied by the Borrower in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. 

(vii) If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time,
the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than the L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

(viii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), first, shall be
applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, and second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans without any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case. 

2.06 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments 

(a) Voluntary. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of
Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving
Credit Facility, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit,
(C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction or
termination of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction provided 

  
 -62- 

 
in this Section. Any reduction of any Commitments hereunder shall be applied to the applicable Commitment of each applicable Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until
the effective date of any termination of any applicable Facility or Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. To the extent practicable, each partial reduction in the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be allocated ratably
among the L/C Issuers in accordance with any additional sublimits they have established as L/C Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit (or as otherwise agreed among the Borrowers and the L/C Issuers). 

(b) Mandatory. The Initial Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of
such Term Lender’s Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date for each such Facility. 

2.07 Repayment of Loans. 

(a) Initial Term Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Term Lenders with Initial Term Loans the aggregate principal amount of the
Initial Term Loans in quarterly principal installments equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date (which principal amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in
accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05), on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on the last Business Day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017);
provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Initial Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date therefor and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans
outstanding on such date. 
 (b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity
Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers
shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten (10) Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date. 

(d) Incremental Term Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Term Lenders with Incremental Term Loans the aggregate principal amount
thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 2.14(c)(i) and any applicable Increase Joinder; provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of each Incremental Term Loan shall be repaid on the Incremental
Term Loan Maturity Date therefor and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans of like tenor outstanding on such date. 

2.08 Interest. 
 (a)
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Facility; (ii) each Base Rate Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for such Facility from the

  
 -63- 

 
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans for such Facility; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans for the Revolving Credit Facility. 

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

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrowers in respect of a Facility is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders (in the case of amounts due in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility), and the
Required Term Lenders (in the case of amounts due in respect of the Term Facility), such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Laws. 
 (iii) Upon the request of (x) the Required Revolving Lenders, while any Financial Covenant Event of
Default exists or (y) the Required Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in clauses 2.08(b)(i) and (b)(ii) above), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all applicable
outstanding Obligations hereunder (and, without duplication, on any past due amount) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. 

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

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i): 

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers jointly and severally in accordance with Section 10.12 agree (to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law) to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) calculated at the
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to the “Commitment Fee” times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and
(ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18. 

  
 -64- 

 
For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments for purposes of determining the Commitment
Fee. The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December with a final payment on the Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Facility shall terminate.
If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally in accordance with Section 10.12 shall pay to the Arrangers and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. 

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion
is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the
financial statements of the Borrowers or for any other reason, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent determine that (i) Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrowers as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a
proper calculation of such ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This
paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Sections 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrowers’ obligations
under this Section 2.10(b) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder for the limited period ending one month following the date of the annual audited financial statements of the
Parent and its Subsidiaries that include the period during which such termination and repayment occurred. 

  
 -65- 

 2.11 Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such
Lender or L/C Issuer and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender or L/C Issuer shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Credit Extensions made by the Lenders and/or the L/C Issuers to or for the account of the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such
matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrowers made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such
Lender (through the Administrative Agent) Note(s), which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrowers, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to
in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in
the absence of manifest error. 
 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed,
at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of
the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed
received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b) (i) Funding by
Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
prior 

  
 -66- 

 
to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.14, as applicable (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in
accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers 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 Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping
period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if
the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such
L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article
IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

  
 -67- 

 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make the
Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any
such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to so make its Loan, as the case may be, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 

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

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward 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, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then
due to such parties. 
 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim
or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations (other than in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in
excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not
due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such
time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (1) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (2) purchase (for
cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that: 

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

  
 -68- 

 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to
(A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and amounts
paid in connection with or after giving effect to the third to final paragraph of Section 10.01), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17, (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrowers thereof (as to which the
provisions of this Section shall apply), (D) any payment of consideration for executing any amendment, waiver or consent in connection with this Agreement so long as such consideration has been offered to all consenting Lenders or
(E) assignments by any Term Lender of all or a portion of its Term Loans to Parent pursuant to Section 10.06(h). 
 Each
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 such Borrower rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

2.14 Incremental Credit Extensions. 

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrowers may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request (x) prior to the Maturity
Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, an increase to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) and/or (y) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (each, an
“Incremental Term Commitment”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of the Maximum Increase Amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrowers
propose that the Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (unless a shorter period is approved by the
Administrative Agent), and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrowers propose any portion of such Incremental Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender
approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment; provided, further, that (i) the principal amount for all such Incremental Commitments
shall not exceed the Maximum Increase Amount; and (ii) each Incremental Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if
such amount represents all remaining availability under the aggregate limit in respect of Incremental Commitments set forth in above). 

  
 -69- 

 (b) Conditions. The Incremental Commitments shall become effective as of the Increase
Effective Date; provided that: 
 (i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; 

(ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective
Date; 
 (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and
correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements
furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.04. 
 (iv) the Borrowers shall
make any breakage payments in connection with any adjustment of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(d); and 

(vi) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered officer’s certificates and legal opinions of the type delivered
on the Closing Date to the extent reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent. 

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Commitments shall be as follows:

 (i) terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Increase
Joinder, identical to the Term Loans (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be a part of the Term Loans) and to the extent that the terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans are not identical to the Term Loans (except to the
extent permitted by clause (iii), (iv) or (v) below) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that in any event the Incremental Term Loans must comply with clauses
(iii), (iv) and (v) below; 
 (ii) the terms and provisions of Revolving Credit Loans made
pursuant to new Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Loans; 
 (iii) the weighted average life to maturity
of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the then existing Term Loans; 

(iv) the maturity date of Incremental Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date”) shall not be
earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date; 

  
 -70- 

 (v) the Applicable Rate for Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the
Borrowers and the Lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; provided that in the event that the All-In Yield for any Incremental Term Loan is greater than the All-In Yield for the Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Rate
for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield for the Incremental Term Loans is not more than 50 basis points higher than the All-In Yield for the Term Loans. 

The Incremental Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.01, the Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. In addition, unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to Incremental Revolving
Commitments and Incremental Term Loans that are Term Loans, respectively, made pursuant to this Agreement. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary. 

(d) Adjustment of Revolving Credit Loans. To the extent the Commitments being increased on the relevant Increase Effective Date are
Incremental Revolving Commitments, then each Revolving Credit Lender that is acquiring an Incremental Revolving Commitment on the Increase Effective Date shall make a Revolving Credit Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving
Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders immediately prior to such Increase Effective Date, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata based on their
Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such Increase Effective Date. If there is a new borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans on such Increase Effective Date, the Revolving Credit Lenders after giving effect to such Increase Effective Date
shall make such Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(b). 
 (e) Making of New Term Loans. On any
Increase Effective Date on which new Commitments for Term Loans are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such new Commitment shall make a Term Loan to the Borrowers in an amount equal to its
new Commitment. 
 (f) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.14
shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security
interests created by the Security Documents, except that the new Loans may be subordinated in right of payment or the Liens securing the new Loans may be subordinated, in each case, to the extent set forth in the Increase Joinder. The Borrowers
shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after
giving effect to the establishment of any such class of Term Loans or any such new Commitments. 

  
 -71- 

 2.15 Currency of Account. All of the Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder shall be
denominated and payable in Dollars. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency (the “first currency”) into any other currency (the “second
currency”) the conversion shall be made at the Spot Rate of exchange of the Administrative Agent (as conclusively determined by the Administrative Agent absent manifest error) on the Business Day preceding the day on which the final
judgment is given. If, however, on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent in the second currency of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder (or any proportion thereof) the Administrative Agent purchases the first currency with
the amount of the second currency so received and the first currency so purchased falls short of the sum originally due hereunder in the first currency (or the same proportion thereof) the Borrowers, shall, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any judgment, pay to the Administrative Agent in the first currency an amount equal to such shortfall. 
 2.16
[Reserved].  
 2.17 Cash Collateral. 

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) such L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of
Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) the Borrowers are required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02 or (iii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any
reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the
request of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 
 (b) Grant of Security Interest. All
Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such
Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security
interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be
applied pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person (other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided), or that the total
amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the
Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. The Borrowers shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in
connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral. 

  
 -72- 

 (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.17 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.18 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of
the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash
Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. 
 (d) Release. Cash
Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise
thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s and such L/C
Issuer’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to,
any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, (y) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event
of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.17 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (z) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 

2.18 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then,
until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 
 (i) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01 and in the definition of “Required
Revolving Lenders” and “Required Term Lenders”. 
 (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of
principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made
available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by
that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or Swing Line

  
 -73- 

 
Lender hereunder; third, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender to Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance
with Section 2.17; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting
Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to
such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement,, in accordance with Section 2.17, sixth, in the case of a Defaulting Lender under any Facility, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other
Lenders under such Facility (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, including the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender) against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of
that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Facility on a pro rata basis (and ratably among all applicable
Facilities computed in accordance with the Defaulting Lenders’ respective funding deficiencies) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender under the applicable Facility until such
time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv). Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. 

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

(B) Each Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.17. 

  
 -74- 

 (C) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any
Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of
any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such
fee. 
 (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders which are Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to
such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender
arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the Parent shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting
Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers agree in writing that a
Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which
may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be
necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to
Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or 

  
 -75- 

 
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

2.19 Loan Repricing Protection. At the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Transaction that is consummated prior to the six
(6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term Lender with Initial Term Loans that are either prepaid, repaid converted or otherwise subjected to a pricing
reduction in connection with such Repricing Transaction (including, if applicable, any Non-Consenting Lender required to assign its Initial Term Loans in connection therewith), a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of (x) in the case of a Repricing
Transaction described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans prepaid, refinanced, converted, substituted or replaced in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (y) in
the case of a Repricing Transaction described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such
Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. 

2.20 Extension of Maturity Date.  

(a) The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an
“Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Loans and Commitments to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (i) set forth the amount of the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments
and/or Term Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in minimum principal amount of $50,000,000 or any whole multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof except that such amount may be less than $50,000,000 and need not be in a whole
multiple of $10,000,000 if such amount represents the remaining amount of the Class to be extended), (ii) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor
more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (iii) identify the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Commitments
and/or Term Loans to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions
as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. If the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans in respect of which
Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the
Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such
Extension Offer. 
 (b) The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (i) no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to 

  
 -76- 

 
and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article V and in each other Loan Document shall be deemed to be made and
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the effective date of such Extension, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and
correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.20(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent
financial statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.04, (iii) the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, to
the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit or making of Swing Line Loans at any time during the extended period and (iv) the terms of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Term
Loans shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (c) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrowers and the
applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than one year after the Maturity Date of the
applicable Class of Facility that is being extended, (ii)(A) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) the average life to maturity of the Extended
Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans, (iii) the Extended Revolving Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the
existing Revolving Credit Loans and the existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrowers and Guarantors with respect to the
existing Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (iv) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment (and the Extended Revolving Loans
thereunder) and Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable extending Lenders, (v)(A) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or
mandatory prepayments with the other Term Loans and (B) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving Loans, or reductions of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, shall be on a pro
rata basis with the other Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (other than upon the maturity of the non-extended Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments) and (vi) the terms of the Extended Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above). 

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of
each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any

amendments necessary to establish Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Term Loans as a new Class or tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, and such
other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of
the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this section.
This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary. 

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

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the
Administrative Agent or a Borrower, as applicable) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower, then the Administrative Agent or such Borrower shall be entitled to make such
deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 

(i) If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both
United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information
and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and
(C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction for Indemnified
Taxes been made. 
 (ii) If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any Applicable Laws other than the
Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and
documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is 

  
 -78- 

 
made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any such required withholding or the making of all such required
deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction for Indemnified
Taxes been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the
Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) Tax Indemnifications (i) Each of the Borrowers shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, and shall
make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01)
payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Borrowers shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days written after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to
Section 3.01(c)(ii) below. Upon making such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below against the applicable
defaulting Lender (other than the right of set off pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.01(c)(ii)). 

(ii) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that a Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in each case, that
are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent
under this clause (ii). 

  
 -79- 

 (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent
shall deliver to the Parent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax
Documentation. 
 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that
such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

  
 -80- 

 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or
any successor form, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS
Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or any successor form, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of
the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
(y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or any successor form; or 
 (4) to the extent a
Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or any successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign
Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  
 -81- 

 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall
deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 3.01,
“Applicable Laws” shall include “FATCA” and, solely for purposes of this clause (D) and the definition of Applicable Laws, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

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

  
 -82- 

 (g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall
survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other
Obligations. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate,
in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or
immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative
Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer
illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or
(ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case
with respect to clause (a) (i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders determine that for any reason the 

  
 -83- 

 
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in
determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of this
section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the
Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section, (2) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such
rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice thereof. 

3.04 Increased Costs. 

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

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

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

  
 -84- 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to,
continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, any Loan), or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing
or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C
Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving
Credit Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer
or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C
Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer
or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for
Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 -85- 

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

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers
shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a)
any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 (b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or
convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or 
 (c) any assignment of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.14; 

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

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

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to the Borrowers through any Lending Office,
provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the
Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable 

  
 -86- 

 
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 or such L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for
the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or is unable to lend under
Section 3.02, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, and in each case, such
Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.14. 

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent. 
 ARTICLE IV.

one year before the applicable Maturity Date or Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date therefor) or any qualification or exception as to the scope of the Accountants’ audit if such qualification or exception as to scope is based upon or results

 The Borrowers hereby authorize the Lenders to disclose any information obtained pursuant to this
Agreement to all appropriate Governmental Authorities where required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Lenders shall, to the extent practicable and allowable under Applicable Law, notify the Borrowers within a reasonable
period prior to the time any such disclosure is made; and provided further, this authorization shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights to object to the disclosure by the Lenders of any such information which any Borrower has or may have
under the federal Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, as in effect from time to time. 
 Documents required to be delivered pursuant to
this Section (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC and available in EDGAR) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which
the Borrowers post such documents, or provide a link thereto on the Borrowers’ website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 10.02; (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrowers’ behalf on an
Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); or (iii) on which such report is filed
electronically with the SEC’s EDGAR system; provided that: the Borrowers shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that requests the Borrowers to deliver such paper copies until a written
request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, in every instance the Borrowers shall be required to provide
paper copies of the Compliance Certificates required by this Section to the Administrative Agent. Except for such Compliance Certificates, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the
documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrowers with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies
of such documents. 
 The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers may, but shall not be
obligated to, make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, the “Borrowers’ Materials”) by posting the Borrowers’ Materials
on IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar, or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to
receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such
Person’s securities. The Borrowers hereby agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrowers’ Materials that may be distributed to Public Lenders and that (w) all Borrowers’
Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by
marking Borrowers’ Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders to treat such Borrowers’ Materials as not containing any material
non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of Securities Laws (including state securities laws) (provided, however, that to the extent such

  
 -100- 

 
Borrowers’ Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (y) all Borrowers’ Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted
to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrowers’ Materials that are not marked
“PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” 

6.05 Legal Existence and Conduct of Business. Except where the failure of a Borrower or Non-Borrower Subsidiary to remain so qualified
would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.04, each Borrower and each Non-Borrower Subsidiary will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
its legal existence, legal rights and franchises; effect and maintain its foreign qualifications, licensing, domestication or authorization except as terminated by its Board of Directors in the exercise of its reasonable judgment; use its reasonable
best efforts to comply with all Applicable Laws; and shall not become obligated under any contract or binding arrangement which, at the time it was entered into would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrowers and Non-Borrower Subsidiaries
taken as a whole. Each Borrower and each Non-Borrower Subsidiary will continue to engage primarily in the business now conducted by it and in any related business. 

6.06 Maintenance of Properties. The Borrowers and the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries will cause all material properties used or useful in
the conduct of their businesses to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Borrowers and Non-Borrower Subsidiaries may be necessary so that the businesses carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent any Borrower or Non-Borrower Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of such Borrower or Non-Borrower Subsidiary,
desirable in the conduct of its or their business and which does not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or is permitted pursuant to Section 7.04. 

6.07 Maintenance of Insurance. The Borrowers and the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries will maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies, funds or underwriters’ insurance, including self-insurance, of the kinds, covering the risks and in the relative proportionate amounts usually carried by reasonable and prudent companies conducting businesses similar to
that of the Borrowers and Non-Borrower Subsidiaries. In addition, the Borrowers and the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries will furnish from time to time, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, a summary of the insurance coverage of each of the
Borrowers and Non-Borrower Subsidiaries, which summary shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be named as first loss payee on the Borrowers’ policies of insurance (other than
liability policies), and the Administrative Agent shall be named as an additional insured on the Borrowers’ liability insurance, all in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent,
will furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of the applicable policies of the Borrowers naming the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as a loss payee or additional insured, as the case may be, thereunder.

discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become overdue, all material Taxes (other than Taxes imposed by jurisdictions other than the United States or Canada or a political division thereof which in the aggregate are not
material to the business or assets of any Borrower or Non-Borrower Subsidiary on an individual basis or of the Borrowers and Non-Borrower Subsidiaries taken as a whole) imposed upon each Borrower and its Real Properties, sales and activities, or any
part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom; provided, however, that any such Tax need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if such Borrower
or Non-Borrower Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and provided, further, that such Borrower and Non-Borrower Subsidiary will pay all such Taxes forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to
foreclose any Lien which may have attached as security therefor. 
 6.09 Inspection of Properties, Books and Contracts. The Borrowers
shall permit the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any of their designated representatives, upon reasonable notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrowers, to examine the books of account of the Borrowers (including the
making of periodic accounts receivable reviews), or contracts (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom), and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrowers with, and to be advised as to the same by, their directors,
officers and Accountants, all at such times and intervals as the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their designated representatives shall be accompanied by a
representative of the Borrowers during any meeting with the Accountants pursuant to this Section 6.09 (and the Borrowers agree to cooperate with the Administrative Agent in facilitating the same) and provided, further, that it shall not
be a violation of this Section 6.09 if, despite the request of the Borrowers, the Accountants decline to meet or discuss with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. 

6.10 Compliance with Applicable Laws, Contracts, Licenses and Permits; Maintenance of Material Licenses and Permits. Each Borrower
will, and will cause the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries to, except where noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (a) comply with the provisions of its charter documents, articles of incorporation, other
constituent documents and by-laws and all agreements and instruments by which it or any of its properties may be bound; (b) comply with all Applicable Laws (including Environmental Laws), decrees, orders, and judgments, including all
environmental permits; (c) comply in all material respects with all agreements and instruments by which it or any of its properties may be bound; (d) maintain all material operating permits for all landfills now owned or hereafter
acquired; and (e) dispose of Hazardous Materials only at licensed solid waste facilities operating, to the best of such Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, in compliance with Environmental Laws. If at any time while any Loan or
Letter of Credit is outstanding or any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent has any obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder, any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any Governmental Authority
shall become necessary or required in order that any Borrower may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, such Borrower will immediately take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the power of such Borrower to obtain such authorization,
consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Lenders with evidence thereof.

 6.11 Environmental Indemnification. The Borrowers covenant and agree that they will
jointly and severally, in accordance with Section 10.12, indemnify and hold the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders, and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and shareholders, harmless
from and against any and all claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred by such indemnified parties (including all costs of legal representation incurred by such indemnified parties) relating to (a) any Environmental Release or
threatened Environmental Release of Hazardous Materials on the Real Property; (b) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at the Real Property or the operations conducted thereon; or (c) the investigation or
remediation of offsite locations at which the Borrowers, or their predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly Disposed of Hazardous Materials. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrowers that this covenant of indemnification shall
survive any foreclosure or any modification, release or discharge of any or all of the Security Documents or the payment of the Loans and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns. 

6.12 Further Assurances. The Borrowers will cooperate with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and execute such further
instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. 

6.13 Notice of Potential Claims or Litigation. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 30 days of receipt
thereof, written notice of the initiation of, or any material development in, any action, claim, complaint, or any other notice of dispute or potential litigation (including any alleged violation of any Environmental Law or ERISA and any matter that
would have been required to be disclosed on Schedule 5.16 had it existed on the Closing Date (or within the last 5 years)), wherein the potential liability is in excess of the Threshold Amount, or could otherwise reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, together with a copy of each such notice received by any Borrower. 
 6.14 Notice of Certain Events
Concerning Insurance, Environmental Claims and Accounting Practices. 
 (a) The Borrowers will provide the Administrative Agent with

its Subsidiaries) thereof, including any determination by the Borrowers referred to in Section 2.10(b). 
 6.15 Notice of
Default or Material Adverse Effect. The Borrowers will promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the occurrence of (a) any Default or Event of Default, (b) any event or condition that has resulted or could reasonably be

 -104- 

 
Borrowers to prepay, redeem or repurchase any Permitted Subordinated Debt or other Indebtedness, in each case, in excess of the Threshold Amount. If any Person shall give any notice, or take any

Indebtedness, in each case, in excess of the Threshold Amount as to which any Borrower is a party or obligor, whether as principal or surety, the Borrowers shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, describing the

hereof), and any Subsidiary that ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary (but is not a Non-Borrower Subsidiary) at the election of the Parent or a Non-Borrower Subsidiary (but is not an Excluded Subsidiary) pursuant to the terms hereof (including the

Refinancing Event (the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such existing Indebtedness not so tendered, discharged or satisfied, the “Interim Debt”): 

(A) the Borrowers may elect to designate all or any portion of such Interim Debt as “Excluded Interim Debt” for purposes of
Section 7.03(j) so long as the Deposit Conditions (defined below) are met (and continue to be met); and 
 (B) for a period not
to exceed 90 days from the date of the Refinancing Event the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(j) may exceed the amount otherwise permitted thereby by up to the
lesser of (x) the outstanding amount of the Excluded Interim Debt and (y) $50,000,000 (or such greater amount as agreed by the Administrative Agent); 

As used above, the term “Deposit Conditions” shall mean, with respect to any Excluded Interim Debt, the satisfaction (and continued
satisfaction) of each of the following conditions with respect to such Indebtedness: (x) Net Cash Proceeds of the related new issuance of Indebtedness under Section 7.03(j) in an amount equal to such Excluded Interim Debt is
deposited by the Borrowers with the Administrative Agent and maintained in a blocked deposit account at Bank of America, N.A. pending the redemption, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction thereof and such deposit account is pledged to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Obligations (it being acknowledged that such funds shall be released in connection with the redemption, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of such Excluded Interim
Debt in a manner that does not violate the terms of the Excluded Interim Debt); (y) the Borrowers shall commence the redemption, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of such Excluded Interim Debt in a manner that does not violate the
terms of the Excluded Interim Debt (subject to any contractual notice periods required therein) within five (5) Business Days following the consummation of the applicable Refinancing Event resulting in such Excluded Interim Debt; and
(z) such Excluded Interim Debt is in fact redeemed, repaid, discharged or otherwise satisfied as soon as practicable under the terms governing such Excluded Interim Debt and, in any event, within 90 days following the consummation of the
related Refinancing Event.

(a) Mergers and Acquisitions. None of the Borrowers or the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, become a party to
any merger, amalgamation, or consolidation, or agree to or effect any acquisition of all or substantially all of the stock of another Person or all or substantially all the assets or a business unit of another Person (other than the acquisition of
assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices or the acquisition of Excluded Subsidiaries to the extent permitted under Section 7.02(i)) except the merger or consolidation of, or asset or stock acquisitions
between Borrowers and except as otherwise provided below in this Section 7.04(a).

 The Borrowers and the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries may purchase or otherwise acquire all or
substantially all of the assets or a business unit of another Person or one hundred percent (100%) of the stock or other Equity Interests of any other Person, including by merger, amalgamation or consolidation, (any transaction satisfying the
requirements of this Section 7.04(a), a “Permitted Acquisition”) so long as: 
 (i) the
Borrowers are in current compliance with and, after giving pro forma effect to the proposed acquisition (including any borrowings made or to be made in connection therewith), will continue to be in compliance with all of its covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement and on a pro forma historical combined basis as if the transaction occurred on the first day of the period of measurement; 

(ii) for any acquisition or series of related acquisitions in which the cash consideration (including cash deferred payments,
contingent or otherwise, and the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness assumed or, in the case of an acquisition of Equity Interests, including all Indebtedness of the target company) to be paid by any Borrower in connection with such acquisition:

 (A) is less than or equal to $5,000,000, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio shall be no greater than the then applicable
Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio required under Section 7.11(b) less 0.25x;

less than or equal to $50,000,000, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio shall be no greater than the then applicable Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio required under Section 7.11(b) less 0.50x; 

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any such acquisition or series of related acquisitions with acquisition cash consideration greater than
$50,000,000 (including cash deferred payments, contingent or otherwise, and the aggregate amount of Indebtedness assumed) shall not constitute a Permitted Acquisition and (ii) there shall be no limit to consideration paid in Equity Interests of
the Parent. 
 (iii) at the time of such acquisition, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and such
acquisition will not otherwise create a Default or an Event of Default hereunder (including by way of cross-default to any other Indebtedness that would constitute an Event of Default hereunder);

related or incidental thereto (e.g., solid waste collection, transfer, hauling, recycling, or disposal); 
 (v) the business

 (vi) (A) in the case of an asset acquisition,
all of the assets acquired shall be acquired by an existing Borrower or a newly-created wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent, which, if it is a Domestic Subsidiary, shall become a Borrower hereunder in

the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with Section 10.15, (B) in the case of an acquisition of Equity Interests of a U.S. company, the acquired company, simultaneously with such acquisition,
shall become a Borrower in accordance with Section 6.20 and 100% of its Equity Interests and its assets (to the extent it is Collateral) shall be pledged simultaneously with such acquisition to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Secured Parties, or the acquired company shall be merged or amalgamated with and into a wholly-owned Subsidiary that is a Borrower and such newly-acquired or newly-created Subsidiary shall otherwise comply with the provisions of
Section 6.20; or (C) in the case of acquisition of Equity Interests of a foreign Person that, in connection therewith, becomes a Foreign Subsidiary, the acquiring Borrower shall pledge the capital stock or other Equity Interests of
such Foreign Subsidiary simultaneously with such acquisition to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that not more than 65% of the total voting power of all outstanding capital stock or other Equity Interest of
any such first-tier Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be so pledged and no Equity Interests of any non-first-tier Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged); 

(vii) if the total consideration in connection with any such acquisition, including the aggregate amount of all liabilities
assumed, but excluding the payment of all fees and expenses relating to such purchase, exceeds the Threshold Amount, then not later than seven (7) days prior to the proposed acquisition date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may
agree), the Borrowers shall furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a copy of the purchase agreement, (ii) its audited (if available, or otherwise unaudited) financial statements for the preceding two (2) fiscal years or such
shorter period of time as such entity or division has been in existence, (iii) a summary of the Borrowers’ results of their standard due diligence review, (iv) in the case of a landfill acquisition or if the target company owns a

acquisition, and (vii) such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, which in each case shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent; 

(viii) the board of directors and (if required by Applicable Law) the shareholders, or the equivalent thereof, of the business
to be acquired shall have approved such acquisition; 
 (ix) if such acquisition is made by a merger or amalgamation, a
Borrower, or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent (which may be the acquired company) which shall become a Borrower in connection with such merger, shall be the surviving entity, except with respect to an Excluded Subsidiary or Non-Borrower
Subsidiary; provided, that if the surviving entity is a Foreign Subsidiary, the applicable Borrower shall pledge 

  
 -114- 

 
the capital stock or other Equity Interests of each Foreign Subsidiary within 30 Business Days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) of such merger or amalgamation to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that not more than 65% of the total voting power of all outstanding capital stock or other Equity Interest of any first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of a Borrower shall be required to
be so pledged and no Equity Interests of any non-first-tier Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be so pledged); and 

(x) cash consideration to be paid by any Borrower in connection with any acquisition or series of related acquisitions
(including cash deferred payments, contingent or otherwise, and the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness assumed or, in the case of an acquisition of Equity Interests, including all Indebtedness of the target company) shall not exceed $50,000,000.

 (b) Dispositions of Assets. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, none of the Borrowers or the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries
(other than the Insurance Subsidiary) shall, directly or indirectly, become a party to or effect any disposition of assets (other than (x) an Excluded Asset Disposition which shall be deemed to be permitted by this Section 7.04(b),
and (y) the Disposition of assets or Equity Interests owned by a Borrower or Non-Borrower Subsidiary to a Borrower except that the Parent may not Dispose of all or any material portion of its assets to another Borrower, and for the avoidance of
doubt, and notwithstanding anything else in this Section 7.04(b) to the contrary, in the case of the transactions described in clauses (x) and (y) of this parenthetical, clause (b)(i) below, or clause
(c) below, no such Disposition shall trigger the requirement to provide the deliverables under this Section and no such Disposition shall count against the Disposition Basket (defined below)); provided, that, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result therefrom (including by way of cross-default to any other Indebtedness) during the term of this Agreement, 

(i) the Borrowers may consummate the Permitted Westbrook Disposition; and 

(ii) the Borrowers and the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries may dispose of, sell or transfer assets (including in connection with an asset swap) or
Equity Interests of any Subsidiaries of the Parent from and after the Closing Date having an aggregate fair market value not in excess of 7.5% of Consolidated Total Assets (the “Disposition Basket”) (as measured at the end of the
most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been furnished under Section 6.04(a) or (b)), in each case for fair and reasonable value, which shall, solely in connection with a disposition, sale or
transfer of assets (or a series of related sales or transfers) after the date hereof having a fair market value in excess of $5,000,000, be determined to be fair and reasonable by the board of directors of the Parent in good faith and evidenced by a
resolution of such directors which shall be delivered by the Parent to the Administrative Agent prior to the consummation of such sale or transfer, along with a compliance certificate evidencing compliance with the foregoing limitation and pro forma
compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.11 after giving effect to such sale or transfer, and such other information and documentation related to such Disposition as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and,
in the case of an asset swap, so long as such asset swap in the reasonable business judgment of the Parent does not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that prior to 

  
 -115- 

 
the Full Payment of the Borrowers’ Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will be under no obligation to release their Lien on any of the Collateral subject to a
Disposition pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.04(b)(ii) unless any Liens securing any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(j) in such Collateral are simultaneously being (and are required to be) released by
the holders of such Indebtedness as and to the extent required by the intercreditor agreement applicable thereto. Upon a disposition permitted by this Section 7.04(b)(ii) of all or substantially all of the assets (x) of a Borrower,
such Borrower may be liquidated or dissolved so long as all (if any) remaining assets held by such Borrower are transferred to an existing Borrower and remain subject to a Lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
(y) of a Non-Borrower Subsidiary, such Non-Borrower Subsidiary may be liquidated or dissolved so long as all (if any) remaining assets held by such Non-Borrower Subsidiary are transferred to a Borrower or a Non-Borrower Subsidiary. The
Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly following any such liquidation or dissolution. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 7.04, the Borrowers and the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries may merge, amalgamate or liquidate any De Minimis Subsidiaries (or consummate any transaction permitted by Section 6.05).

not accelerated or otherwise made other than as initially contemplated under the original transaction with such Affiliate, (c) the Borrowers may make cash Distributions in any Fiscal Year up to an aggregate amount that does not exceed
$10,000,000 in any such period; and (d) the Borrowers may make other cash Distributions so long as immediately after giving pro forma effect to any such payment, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is not greater than 3.25 to 1.00. 

7.07 Change in Nature of Business. None of the Borrowers or the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any
material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by the Borrowers and Non-Borrower Subsidiaries on the date hereof or any business substantially related or incidental thereto. 

7.08 Transactions with Affiliates. Except as permitted under Section 5.18, none of the Borrowers or the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries
shall, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction of any kind with any Affiliate (other than for services as employees, officers and directors of any of the Borrowers or Non-Borrower Subsidiaries, and other than transactions among
Borrowers), whether or not in the ordinary course of business, other than where the board of directors (or the equivalent) of such Borrower or Non-Borrower Subsidiary has in good faith determined that such
transaction is on fair and reasonable terms substantially as favorable to the Borrowers or Non-Borrower Subsidiaries as would be obtainable by the Borrowers or Non-Borrower Subsidiaries at the time in a comparable arm’s length transaction with
a Person other than an Affiliate. 

  
 -116- 

 7.09 Negative Pledges. None of the Borrowers or the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries (other than
the Insurance Subsidiary) shall, directly or indirectly, enter into any Contractual Obligation (other than this Agreement or any other Loan Document) that limits the ability any of the Borrowers or Non-Borrower Subsidiaries (other than the Insurance
Subsidiary, if any) to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent on property of such Person; provided, however, that this Section 7.09 shall not prohibit (i) any negative
pledge incurred or provided in favor of any holder of Indebtedness (x) secured by a Lien permitted by Section 7.01(a) or (y) outstanding under (I) Section 7.03(c) and listed on Part B of Schedule 7.03,
(II) Section 7.03(m), or (III) permitted renewals, extensions and refinancings thereof, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), to the extent required by the terms of the documents evidencing the applicable Indebtedness and
solely to the extent any such negative pledge relates to the property financed by or the subject of such Indebtedness, or any Excluded Trust Account established thereunder, (ii) a restriction imposed with respect to Excluded Collateral, or
(iii) a restriction in favor of any holder of secured Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(j) that requires the grant of a junior priority Lien in favor of the holder of such Indebtedness (or an agent or trustee therefor)
to the extent that a Lien is granted in favor of the Administrative Agent on property of such Person (including customary restrictions in any “junior lien” intercreditor agreement delivered in connection therewith) 

7.10 Use of Proceeds. None of the Borrowers shall use the proceeds of any Credit Extension, whether directly or indirectly, and whether
immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the FRB), except as set forth in Section 5.04 (provided it is not in violation of Regulation U of the FRB), 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 for any purpose other than as set forth in Section 5.04. None of the Borrowers shall use the
proceeds of any Credit Extension, whether directly or indirectly, to make any payment of Permitted Subordinated Debt or any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(j) at any time except as expressly permitted under
Section 7.16(d)(iv).

the Agreement, it is understood that the following financial covenants shall be calculated exclusive of the assets, liabilities (except for liabilities of the Excluded Subsidiaries that are recourse to the Borrowers), net worth and operations of the
Excluded Subsidiaries. 
 (a) Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. As at the end of any fiscal quarter, the Borrowers shall not permit

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for the purposes of calculating the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio pursuant to this
Section 7.11(b), Excluded Interim Debt shall not be included in Consolidated Funded Debt during any period in which (and for so long as) such Excluded Interim Debt is properly designated as and qualifies as Excluded Interim Debt under
and in accordance with Section 7.03. 
 7.12 Sale and Leaseback. Except for the Permitted Westbrook Disposition and
Dispositions relating to Equipment Financing Indebtedness, none of the Borrowers or the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries (other than the Insurance Subsidiary, if any) shall, directly or indirectly, enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly,

liabilities.

Amount; provided, that the Borrowers may amend, supplement or otherwise modify the terms of any such Indebtedness with the consent of the Administrative Agent if, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, such amendments, supplements or
modifications do not adversely affect the rights of the Lenders; and provided, further, that, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, the Borrowers may amend any the terms of
such Indebtedness to eliminate covenants or otherwise make such instruments less restrictive on the Borrowers, (b) prepay, redeem or repurchase or issue any notice or offer of redemption with respect to, elect to make, or effect, a defeasance
with respect to, or take any other action which would require the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to, prepay, redeem or repurchase any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(j) in excess of the Threshold Amount (other than

be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
 (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of
all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; 
 (iii) require that the Borrowers Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and 
 (iv) exercise on behalf of the Secured
Parties all rights and remedies available to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents; 
 provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or
deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under any Debtor Relief Law, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid
principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically
become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
 (b) If any Financial Covenant Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Revolving Lenders, take any of the actions specified under Sections 8.02(a)(i) through
(iv) above, but solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (subject to Section 8.02(d) below). 
 (c) If any
Financial Covenant Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Required Revolving Lenders have declared all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility to be due and payable and all outstanding Revolving Credit
Commitments to be terminated, in accordance with this Agreement as a result of such breach, and such declaration has not been rescinded, then the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Term Lenders
(i) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document in each case to the Term Lenders to be immediately
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers and (ii) exercise, on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, all rights and remedies available to it
and the Term Lenders under the Loan Documents (subject to Section 8.02(d) below). 

  
 -124- 

 (d) Notwithstanding Sections 8.02(b) and (c) above, in the event that after a
Financial Covenant Event of Default all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Facility, respectively, have been declared due and payable, and all commitments thereunder terminated, pursuant to
Section 8.02(b) above, then in such case the exercise of rights and remedies under the Loan Documents shall be conducted pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iv). 

8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have
automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: 
 First, to
payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 
 Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities
and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuers) arising under the Loan
Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans,
L/C Borrowings and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the
Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; 
 Fifth, to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers
pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.17; and 
 Sixth, to payment of Obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements
and Secured Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Sixth held by them; 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required
by Law. 
 Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.17, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of
Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy 

  
 -125- 

 
drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount
shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the
preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. 

ARTICLE IX. 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

9.01 Appointment and Authority. 

(a) Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of
any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or
other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

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

  
 -126- 

 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall
have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the
financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty
to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any
Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting
Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken by it
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the L/C Issuer. 

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(iii)

  
 -127- 

 
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents,
(v) the value or sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent. 
 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender
or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the
making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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. 
 9.05 Delegation of
Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 
 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof, to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”),
then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on 

  
 -128- 

 
behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative
Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (a) the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties
under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then
owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent as of
the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).
The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents, including (x) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Secured Parties and (y) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the
agency to any successor Administrative Agent. 
 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall
also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America or any other L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all
Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a
successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be 

  
 -129- 

 
discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for
the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Documentation Agents or
other similar titles or roles listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or
an L/C Issuer hereunder. 
 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.03, 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 (c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. 

  
 -130- 

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any other Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote
in respect of the claim of any other Secured Party in any such proceeding. 
 The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Applicable Laws in any other jurisdictions to which any Borrower is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of
collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Laws. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase,
the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable
basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests
or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid,
(ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or
Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in
clauses (a) through (j) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of
which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the
need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid
being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata
and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any
acquisition vehicle to take any further action. 

  
 -131- 

 9.10 Collateral Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.09, each
of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and each L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent at its option and in its discretion: 

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of
the Commitments and Full Payment of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements
satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and each applicable L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or upon any applicable Borrower being released from its Obligations hereunder, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01; 

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien
on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(a); 
 (c) to release any Subsidiary of the Parent from its Obligations
hereunder if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or otherwise ceases to be a Borrower as expressly permitted hereunder; and 

(d) to enter into any agreements, including customary junior lien intercreditor agreements, in accordance with Section 7.03(j).

 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release a Borrower or its property from its obligations hereunder pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this
Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Borrower such documents as such Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from
the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and this Section 9.10. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire
into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in
connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 

  
 -132- 

 9.11 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Documents shall have any
right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as
a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that
other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with
such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. 

ARTICLE X. 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.01
Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the
Borrowers or applicable Borrower, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,
however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) subject to the last paragraph of Section 4.01, waive any
condition set forth in Section 4.01(a) without the written consent of each Lender except that, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, only a waiver by the Administrative Agent shall be required with respect to immaterial
matters and other items noted in any post-closing letter made available to the Lenders with respect to which the Borrowers have given assurances satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such items shall be delivered within a reasonable period
of time following the Closing Date; 
 (b) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 as to any Credit Extension under a
particular Facility without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Lenders, as applicable (each of which shall not also require the consent of the Required Lenders);

Section 8.02(a)) without the written consent of such Lender (each of which shall not also require the consent of the Required Lenders); 

(d) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (excluding mandatory prepayments) of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any scheduled reduction (other than as a result of mandatory prepayments) of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder or under any other Loan

Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any vote to rescind any acceleration of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other
Obligations under the Loan Documents shall only require the approval of the Required Lenders); 
 (e) reduce the principal of, or the rate
of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iv) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01 set forth below with respect to fees paid pursuant to the Fee Letters) any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby except that only the consent of (i) the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of
“Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate or (ii) the Required Revolving Lenders shall be necessary to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any
defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing, to reduce any fee or to reduce any mandatory prepayment payable hereunder; 

(f) change (i) Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the
written consent of each Lender or (ii) the order of application of any prepayment of Loans among the Facilities from the application thereof set forth in the applicable provisions of Section 2.05(b), in any manner that materially
and adversely affects the Lenders under a Facility without the written consent of (i) if such Facility is the Term Facility, the Required Term Lenders, or (ii) if such Facility is the Revolving Credit Facility, the Required Revolving
Lenders (each of which shall not also require the consent of the Required Lenders); 
 (g) change (i) any provision of this
Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or
grant any consent hereunder, (other than the definitions specified in clause (ii) of this Section 10.01(g)), without the written consent of each Lender or (ii) the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” or
“Required Term Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender under the applicable Facility (each of which shall not also require the consent of the Required Lenders); 

(h) impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Lender under a Facility to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the written consent of (i) if such Facility is the Term Facility, the Required Term Lenders, and (ii) if such Facility is the Revolving Credit Facility, the Required Revolving Lenders (each of which shall not also require the consent of
the Required Lenders); 
 (i) change the provisions of Section 7.11(a) or (b) (or any defined term used therein or
in the definitions of such defined terms) or waive a Default with respect thereto, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (each of which shall not also require the consent of the Required Lenders); or 

(j) other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, release (A) all or substantially all of the Collateral
(excluding, if any Borrower becomes a debtor 

  
 -134- 

 
under any Debtor Relief Law, the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the federal Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor
approved by the Required Lenders) or (B) any Borrower from its Obligations under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender 
 and,
provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the affected L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer under this
Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect
the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of
the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may
be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any
waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 10.01 to the contrary and except for those matters that may
be addressed in an Increase Joinder or an Extension Amendment without the requirement for additional consents pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.20, respectively, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional revolving credit or term loan facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit and all related obligations and liabilities arising
in connection therewith from time to time outstanding to share ratably (or on a basis subordinated to the existing facilities hereunder) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to
time outstanding in respect of the existing facilities hereunder, and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Required Lenders, the Lenders providing such
additional credit facilities to participate in any required vote or action required to be approved by the Required Lenders or by any other number, percentage or class of Lenders hereunder. 

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent
of each Lender, or requires the consent of each Lender directly affected by such proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release, and such amendment, waiver, consent or release has been approved by the Required Lenders or, as applicable, by more than
fifty percent (50%) of the Lenders who would be directly affected by such amendment, waiver, consent or release, or if a Lender does not accept an Extension Offer, the Borrowers may repay such non-consenting Lender’s Loans on a
non-pro-rata basis (and, in 

  
 -135- 

 
the case of repayments of Revolving Credit Loans, reduce such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment on a non-pro-rata basis in
connection therewith) or may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.14; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section
and/or by such repayment (together with all other such repayments effected by, or assignments required by, the Borrowers to be made pursuant to this paragraph), and provided, further, that after giving effect to any such repayment of
Revolving Credit Loans (and corresponding reductions in the Revolving Credit Facility), and the replacement of such non-consenting Lender, the Borrowers have at least $20,000,000 in unused Revolving Credit Commitments. 

In addition, in the event that the Borrowers determine that any Lender is the holder of 10% or more of the consolidated debt of the Parent or
relevant Subsidiaries of Parent, as a result of which any Borrower would be in breach of any permit issued by any regulatory authority in connection with such Borrower’s solid waste operations, the Borrowers (i) shall be permitted to repay
such Lender’s Loans on a non-pro-rata basis (and, in the case of repayments of Revolving Credit Loans, reduce such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment on a non-pro-rata basis in connection therewith) to the extent necessary (but only to
the extent necessary) to reduce such Lender’s percentage of the consolidated debt of the Parent to below such 10% in order to eliminate such breach and/or (ii) may request such Lender to assign that portion of its Loans to an Eligible
Assignee that would bring such Lender’s Loans below such 10%, and such Lender agrees that it will make such assignment (to the extent an Eligible Assignee has agreed to purchase the Loans requested to be so assigned) so long as such Lender has
received payment at par for such portion of its Loans being so assigned (together with accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder with respect thereto) from such Eligible Assignee (or the Borrowers, as
applicable, with respect to accrued interest, fees or other amounts) and such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws. 
 This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to correct any mistakes, errors or ambiguities of a technical nature. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such
amendment and such amendment shall become effective five (5) Business Days after such notification unless the Required Lenders object to such amendment in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to such time.

 (b)
Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant
to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, each L/C Issuer or the Borrowers may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and
other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed
received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT
WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWERS’ MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWERS’ MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY

  
 -137- 

 
OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER
CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWERS’ MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any
liability to the Borrowers, the Excluded Subsidiaries, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’ or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrowers’ Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic messaging services or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
are determined by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, breach in bad faith of the Administrative Agent’s obligations under this subsection
(c) or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrowers, the Excluded Subsidiaries, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special,
incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
 (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the
Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each of the Borrowers may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may
change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be
sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or
similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and
state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or
their securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and
Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Loan Notices, Letter of Credit Applications and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or
on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the
recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities
resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent,
and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

  
 -138- 

 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other
Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Applicable Law. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own
behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that
inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08
(subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and
provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the
consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers 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 the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuers in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be

  
 -139- 

 
employees of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify
the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time
charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrowers) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit), or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the
Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by any of the Borrowers against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its
favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(c), this Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for
any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative 

  
 -140- 

 
Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d). 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of the parties hereto shall assert,
and each of the parties hereto hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of
the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such
Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappeable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provision of Section 10.02(e) shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, and the Swing Line Lender the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 

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

  
 -141- 

 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be
null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
Section 10.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to
it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following provisions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

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

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any
assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single
Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; and 

  
 -142- 

 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this Section 10.06(b)(ii) shall not (A) apply to the
Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among any Facilities on a non-pro rata basis; 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
Section 10.06(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, however,
that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment to a Lender, and Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund if
such assignment would result in increased costs to the Borrowers; and provided, further, that with respect to an assignment of all or any portion of any Term Loans advanced hereunder from time to time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented
to such assignment unless it has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Term Commitment or any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an
Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 

(iv) the consent of the L/C Issuers under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Swing Line Lender (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any 

  
 -143- 

 
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or
(C) to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person). 

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.06(b)(iv), from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to
facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
Section 10.06(d). 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers
(and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts (and 

  
 -144- 

 stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation,
of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans (including
such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01 (other than under Section 10.01(a) and (b) and the proviso to Section 10.01(d)) that affects such Participant. 

Subject to Section 10.06(e), the Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations
under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan,
letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) 

  
 -145- 

 
of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 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 Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f)
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at
any time Bank of America or any other L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (i) such Person may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders,
resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to
appoint from among the Revolving Credit Lenders who agree to serve in such capacity a successor L/C Issuer (which may be an existing L/C Issuer) or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such
successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America or the applicable L/C Issuer as L/C an Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and provided, further, that no Lender shall be under any obligation to accept any such appointment as
successor. If Bank of America or any other L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of
such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer (with respect to
such resigning L/C Issuer) and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and
(b) such successor L/C Issuer (or another of the L/C 

  
 -146- 

 
Issuers under such Facility, as may be arranged by the Borrowers) shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or
make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America or such other resigning L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America or such other resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

(h) Term Loan Buybacks. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Term Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of
its Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis to Parent in accordance with this Section 10.06(h), pursuant to an offer made available to all Term Lenders on a pro rata basis (a “Dutch Auction”), subject to the following
limitations: 
  

	 	(A)	[RESERVED]; 

  

	 	(B)	immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of the Parent, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Term Loans from a Term Lender
to the Parent, such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Term Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished,
cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Parent shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Term Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment; 

 

	 	(C)	No proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for any such assignment; and 

  

	 	(D)	no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment. 

  

	 	(ii)	Term Loan Buyback Procedures. 

  

	 	(A)	Parent may purchase (by assignment) Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis by conducting one or more Dutch Auctions pursuant to the procedures described herein; provided that no more than one Dutch Auction may be ongoing at
any one time and no more than four Dutch Auctions may be made in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Parent. 

  

	 	(B)	 In connection with each Dutch Auction, the Parent will notify the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Term
Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Dutch Auction by delivering to the Auction Manager a written notice in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction
Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Parent is 

  
 -147- 

	 	
willing to purchase (by assignment) in the Dutch Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of
thereof, (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 of Term Loans, at which the Parent would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Dutch Auction and (iii) the
date on which the Dutch Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon written notice by the
Parent to the Auction Manager not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time. The Auction Manager will deliver a copy of all terms and conditions of such Dutch Auction (such documents containing such terms and conditions, the
“Offer Documents”) to each Term Lender promptly following completion thereof. 

  

	 	(C)	In connection with any Dutch Auction, each Term Lender holding Term Loans may (but is not obligated to) participate in such Dutch Auction and may, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a written
notice of participation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Return Bid”) to be included in the Offer Documents, which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price
per $1,000 of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by the Auction Manager), that such Term Lender
is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided that each Term Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if
the Reply Amount equals the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Term Lender at such time. A Term Lender may only submit one Return Bid per Dutch Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result
in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Term Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, a participating Term Lender must execute and deliver, to be
held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent (the “Auction Assignment
and Acceptance”). Parent will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such
applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price. 

  

	 	(D)	 Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation
with the Parent, will 

  
 -148- 

	 	
calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Dutch Auction within the Discount Range for the Dutch Auction that will allow the Parent to
complete the Dutch Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Parent has received Qualifying Bids). The Parent shall purchase (by assignment) Term Loans from each Term Lender whose Return Bid is
within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the
Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. If a Term Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices,
then all Term Loans of such Term Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price
and shall not be subject to proration. 

  

	 	(E)	All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable
Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Dutch Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the
Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Parent shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective
principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold
Price. 

  

	 	(F)	The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than the fourth Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be
assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Parent onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon written request of the submitting
Term Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid. 

 

	 	(G)	 Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Parent may withdraw a Dutch Auction by written notice to the Auction
Manager no later than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time so long as no Qualifying Bids have 

  
 -149- 

	 	
been received by the Auction Manager at or prior to the time the Auction Manager receives such written notice from the Parent. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to
the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled; provided that a Term Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid. However, a
Dutch Auction shall become void if the Parent fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 10.06(h). The purchase price for all Term
Loans purchased in a Dutch Auction shall be paid in cash by the Parent directly to the respective assigning Term Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Parent (which shall be no later than ten
(10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date. The Parent shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received
in connection with a Qualifying Bid. 

  

	 	(H)	All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of a Dutch Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Parent, and the Auction
Manager’s determination will be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Parent, will be final and binding. 

 

	 	(I)	None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any of their respective Affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Parent, its Subsidiaries or any
of their Affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information. 

 

	 	(J)	The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such under a Dutch Auction shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article IX and Section 10.04 of this Agreement to the same extent as if
each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, each reference therein to the “Loan Documents” were a reference to the Offer Documents, the Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and
Acceptance and each reference therein to the “transactions contemplated hereby” shall be deemed to include the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.06(h) and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction
Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Dutch Auction. 

  
 -150- 

	 	(K)	None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any of their respective Affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Term Lender should sell by assignment any of
its Term Loans pursuant to the Offer Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by participating in the Dutch Auction as a Term Lender) or whether or not the Purchaser should purchase by assignment any Term Loans from any Term Lender pursuant
to any Dutch Auction. Each Term Lender shall make its own decision as to whether to sell by assignment any of its Term Loans and, if so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Term Lender shall consult
its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning any Dutch Auction and the Offer Documents. 

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and its Related Parties in connection with this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to
whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender under Section 2.14 or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which
payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, in reliance on this clause (f), (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Parent or
its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers of other market identifiers with respect to the credit
facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrowers or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this
Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective businesses, other than any such 

  
 -151- 

 
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that
(a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers, the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries or an Excluded Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Laws, including Securities Laws and state securities laws. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each of the Lenders, each L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent shall, prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Borrowers of any request for disclosure of any such non-public information by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an
examination of the financial condition of such Lender, such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent by such Governmental Authority) or pursuant to legal process. 

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their
respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the
account of any of the Borrowers against any and all of the obligations of any of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or
such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of any of the Borrowers may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office or Affiliate of such Lender or such L/C
Issuer different from the branch or office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off
shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed
held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting
Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender,
such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

  
 -152- 

 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Laws (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (e.g.
“pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 10.11
Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension unless notice of Default in accordance with Section 6.15 has been received and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 

10.12 Concerning Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers 

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability for all of the Obligations in consideration of the financial accommodations
to be provided by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept
joint and several liability for the Obligations of the Borrowers. 

  
 -153- 

 (b) Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts,
not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations of the Borrowers (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under
this Section), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. 

(c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to
perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. 

(d) The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 10.12 constitute full recourse obligations of
each such Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement against any
other Borrower or any other circumstance whatsoever. 
 (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the Borrowers,
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans made under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent,
any L/C Issuer or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, and, generally, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as to notices expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, all demands, notices and other formalities
of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets of the Borrowers and any other entity or Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. Each of the Borrowers,
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance
of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers at any time or times in respect of any default by any of the Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction
of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or
release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any of the Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers with respect to the failure by any of the Borrowers to comply
with any of its respective Obligations including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or 

  
 -154- 

 
to comply fully with Applicable Laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any of the Borrowers,
in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section, it being the intention of each of the Borrowers that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrowers under this Section shall not
be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under this Section shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, re-construction or similar proceeding with respect to any of the other Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any of the other Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers. 

(f) To the extent any Borrower makes a payment hereunder in excess of the aggregate amount of the benefit received by such Borrower in respect
of the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement (the “Benefit Amount”), then such Borrower, after the Full Payment of all of the Obligations, shall be entitled to recover from each other Borrower such excess payment, pro
rata, in accordance with the ratio of the Benefit Amount received by each such other Borrower to the total Benefit Amount received by all Borrowers, and the right to such recovery shall be deemed to be an asset and property of such Borrower so
funding; provided, that each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, any payments made by it to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been Fully Paid. Any claim which any
Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation
as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior Full Payment of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the
Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be Fully Paid before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or
other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. 
 (g) Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its
rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to any of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Administrative
Agent with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been Fully Paid. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the
Lenders, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or
thereunder, to the prior Full Payment of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the Applicable Laws

  
 -155- 

 
of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be Fully Paid before any payment or distribution of any
character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. 
 (h) Each of the Borrowers hereby
agrees that the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior Full Payment of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrences and
during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any Indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been Fully Paid. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness before Full Payment of the Obligations, such amounts shall be collected, enforced, received by such Borrower as
trustee for the Administrative Agent and be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata accounts of the relevant Lenders (in accordance with each such Lender’s Applicable Percentage) to be applied to repay (or be held as security for
the repayment of) the Obligations. 
 (i) The provisions of this Section 10.12 are made for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced in good faith by them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as the occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part
of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Lenders first to marshal any of their claims or to exercise any of their rights against any other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to them against any other Borrower or to resort to any
other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 10.12 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been Fully Paid or otherwise
fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Lenders upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers or is repaid in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 10.12 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though
such payment had not been made. 
 (j) Each of the Borrowers hereby appoints the Parent, and the Parent hereby agrees, to act as its
representative and authorized signor with respect to any notices, demands, communications or requests under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, with respect to any Loan Notice, Letter of Credit Application and
Compliance Certificates and pursuant to Section 10.02 of this Agreement. 
 (k) It is the intention and agreement of the
Borrowers and the Lenders that the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable against the Borrowers to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement creating any
obligation of the Borrowers in favor of the Lenders shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is the stated intention and agreement of the Borrowers and the Lenders that any balance of the obligation
created by such provision and all other obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders created by other 

  
 -156- 

 
provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain valid and enforceable. Likewise, if by final order a court of competent jurisdiction shall declare any sums which the Lenders may be otherwise
entitled to collect from the Borrowers under this Credit Agreement to be in excess of those permitted under any Applicable Law (including any federal or state fraudulent conveyance or like statute or rule of law) applicable to the Borrowers’
obligations under this Agreement, it is the stated intention and agreement of the Borrowers and the Lenders that all sums not in excess of those permitted under such Applicable Law shall remain fully collectible by the Lenders from the Borrowers.

 10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect
only to the extent not so limited. 
 10.14 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04 or is unable to lend under Section 3.02, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender does not accept an Extension Offer under Section 2.20, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender
as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related
Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b)(iii); 

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); 

  
 -157- 

 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section
3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(d) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 10.15 Collateral
Security. 
 (a) The Obligations shall be secured by (a) a perfected first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens
entitled to priority under Applicable Law) in all Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement to which each Borrower is a party to the extent perfected by the filing of UCC financing
statements; (b) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of such Borrowers (other than the Parent) and of the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries (other than the Foreign Subsidiaries) to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties pursuant to the Pledge Agreement; and (c) a pledge of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of each Foreign Subsidiary (provided that not more than 65% of the total voting power of all outstanding capital stock or other
Equity Interest of any such first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of a Borrower shall be required to be so pledged and no Equity Interests of any non-first-tier Foreign Subsidiary shall be provided to be so pledged); provided that the Borrowers hereby
agree, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, to deliver, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after request therefor, or such other later time, if any, to which the Administrative
Agent may agree, (i) certificates of titles for all or substantially all vehicles, trucks, trailers, tractors, automobiles and any other equipment covered by certificates of title owned by a Borrower (collectively, “Motor
Vehicles”) with the Administrative Agent listed as lienholder therein (subject to a limited power of attorney in favor of the Parent to dispose of titled equipment) and, if required by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall retain
Corporation Service Company (or other similar company satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which Corporation Service Company (or such other company) will
agree to act as agent for the Secured Parties with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Motor Vehicles; and (ii) mortgages with respect to Real Property and to take such other steps and make such other deliveries as may be
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the delivery of legal opinions, Consulting Engineer’s reports, surveys, title insurance, environmental assessment reports, flood hazard certifications, evidence of
flood insurance, if required, and a certification of the name and address of each real estate recording office where a mortgage on the real estate on which any Collateral consisting of fixtures may be located would be recorded) so as to provide the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected first-priority security interest in such assets, provided that to the extent that any lease of (or operating/management agreement with respect to) Real Property prohibits
assignment of such lease (or operating/management agreement) without the consent of the lessor or another party thereunder, the Borrowers shall not be required to grant a mortgage on the leasehold interest under such lease, but in such event, the
Borrower agrees to diligently and in good faith use its 

  
 -158- 

 
reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent (which consent shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) of the applicable lessor or other party to such
leasehold mortgage (and, upon the receipt of such consent, the Borrowers shall promptly grant such leasehold mortgage and comply with the other provisions of this Section 10.15 with respect thereto). 

(b) In the event any Borrower disposes of any assets or Equity Interests as permitted under, and in compliance with,
Section 7.04(b) (including any amendment thereof or consent thereunder), or in the event that the Parent designates any Borrower as an Excluded Subsidiary or a Non-Borrower Subsidiary hereunder and no Default would result from such
designation, and so long as such Borrower (or the Parent, in the case of designating a Borrower as an Excluded Subsidiary hereunder) shall have provided the Administrative Agent with such certifications or documents, if any, as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver all such forms, releases, discharges, assignments,
termination statements, and similar documents as the Borrowers may reasonably request in order to release such Person from its Obligations under the Loan Documents and to release the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent with respect to such
assets, Equity Interests or Borrower, as applicable. 
 10.16 Keepwell. Each Borrower that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time
that any guarantee or the grant of the security interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case, by any Specified Borrower, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Borrower with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Borrower from time to time to honor all of its obligations under
such guarantee and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and
undertakings under this Section 10.16 voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this
Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly Fully Paid and performed. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the
obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Borrower for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

10.17 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION

IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER

 -160- 

 
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS

 10.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated
hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging

Governmental Approvals 
 With respect to
certain Real Property and operations of the Borrowers subject to Governmental Approvals, prior to exercising rights and remedies, including completing a foreclosure or taking possession or control of such Real Property or operations, Administrative
Agent or another applicable party would need to make the requisite filings and obtain requisite approvals with respect to such Real Property, operations and related Governmental Approvals. 

Pursuant to permits issued to the Borrowers under Applicable Law, no Lender may hold 10% or more of the consolidated debt of the Parent or relevant
Subsidiaries of Parent. Casella has endeavored to furnish to the Lenders, in each Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the dollar amount of its debt that would serve as the threshold for evaluating
compliance with the restrictions on a Lender owning 10% or more of the consolidated debt of the Parent or relevant Subsidiaries of the Parent, as described in the preceding sentence. As of September 30, 2016 (pro forma for the Closing Date
under the Credit Agreement, including the funding of the Initial Term Loans, initial Revolving Credit Loans of $78.5 million and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to redeem the 2011 Senior Subordinated Notes), that dollar
amount was $53.2 million.

 Potsdam
Environmental Remediation Liability 
 On December 20, 2000, the State of New York Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) issued
an Order on Consent (“Order”) which named Waste-Stream, Inc. (“WSI”), a Subsidiary, General Motors Corporation (“GM”) and Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (“NiMo”) as Respondents. The Order required that the
Respondents undertake certain work on a 25-acre scrap yard and solid waste transfer station owned by WSI in Potsdam, New York, including the preparation of a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (“Study”). A draft of the Study was
submitted to the DEC in January 2009 (followed by a final report in May 2009). The Study estimated that the undiscounted costs associated with implementing the preferred remedies would be approximately $10,219. On February 28, 2011, the DEC
issued a Proposed Remedial Action Plan for the site and accepted public comments on the proposed remedy through March 29, 2011. WSI submitted comments to the DEC on this matter. In April 2011, the DEC issued the final Record of Decision
(“ROD”) for the site. The ROD was subsequently rescinded by the DEC for failure to respond to all submitted comments. The preliminary ROD, however, estimated that the present cost associated with implementing the preferred remedies would
be approximately $12,130. The DEC issued the final ROD in June 2011 with proposed remedies consistent with its earlier ROD. An Order on Consent and Administrative Settlement naming WSI and NiMo as Respondents was executed by the Respondents and DEC
with an effective date of October 25, 2013. On January 29, 2016, a Cost-Sharing Agreement was executed between WSI, NiMo, Alcoa Inc. (“Alcoa”) and Reynolds Metal Company (“Reynolds”) whereby Alcoa and Reynolds elected
to voluntarily participate in the onsite remediation activities at a 15% participant share. It is unlikely that any significant expenditures relating to onsite remediation will be incurred until the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. WSI is
jointly and severally liable with NiMo, Alcoa and Reynolds for the total cost to remediate. 
 Southbridge Recycling & Disposal Park, Inc.

 In October 2015, Southbridge Recycling and Disposal Park, Inc. (“SRD”), a Subsidiary, reported to the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (“MADEP”) results of analysis of samples collected pursuant to its existing permit from private drinking water wells located near the Town of Southbridge, Massachusetts Landfill (“Southbridge Landfill”),
which is operated by SRD. Those results indicated the presence of contaminants above the levels triggering notice and response obligations under MADEP regulations. In response to those results, SRD is carrying out an Immediate Response Action
pursuant to state law. Further, SRD has implemented a plan to analyze and better understand the groundwater near the Southbridge Landfill and is investigating with the objective of identifying the source or sources of the elevated levels of
contamination measured in the well samples. If it is determined that some or all of the contamination originated at the Southbridge Landfill, SRD will work with the Town of Southbridge (“Town”), the Southbridge Landfill owner and the
former operator of an unlined portion of the Southbridge Landfill, which was used prior to SRD’s operation of a double-lined portion of the Southbridge Landfill commencing in 2004, to evaluate and allocate the liabilities related to that
contamination. In July 2016, SRD sent correspondence to the Town pursuant to Chapter 21E of Massachusetts General Laws demanding that the Town reimburse SRD for the incurrence of environmental response costs and that the Town be responsible for all
such costs in the future, as well as any other costs or liabilities resulting from the release of contaminants from the unlined portion of the Southbridge Landfill. The Town responded in September 2016, denying that the Southbridge Landfill is the
source of such contamination, and claiming that if it is, that SRD may owe an indemnity to the Town pursuant to our Operating Agreement between SRD and the Town dated May 29, 2007, as amended. Through the period ended September 30, 2016,
SRD has incurred total costs to date of approximately $1,993,000. 
 In February 2016, SRD received a Notice of Intent to Sue under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act from a law firm representing residents from approximately 40 homes located in the vicinity of the Southbridge Landfill, indicating its intent to file suit against SRD. SRD believes it is reasonably possible that a loss
may occur as a result 

  
 Schedule 5.16 

Environmental Compliance 

 
of this potential matter although an estimate of loss cannot be reasonably provided at this time. SRD believes the Town should be responsible for any costs or liabilities associated with this
suit relative to alleged contamination originating from the unlined portion of the Southbridge Landfill, although there can be no assurance that SRD will not be required to incur some or all of such costs and liabilities. 

In August 2016, SRD filed a complaint against Steadfast Insurance Company (“Steadfast”) in the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, (the
“Litigation”) alleging among other things, that Steadfast breached its Pollution Liability Policy (“Policy”) purchased by SRD in April 2015, by refusing to acknowledge coverage under the Policy, and refusing to cover any of the
costs and liabilities incurred by SRD as described above as well as costs and liabilities that SRD may incur in the future. Steadfast filed an answer and counterclaim in September 2016, denying that it has any obligations to SRD under the Policy,
and seeking declaratory judgment of Steadfast’s obligations under the Policy.

Certain Transactions 
 The
Parent engage Casella Construction, Inc., a company owned by John W. Casella, the Parent’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board, and Douglas R. Casella, the Vice Chairman of the Board, to provide construction services,
including construction, closure and capping activities at the Parent’s landfills. All contracts awarded to Casella Construction, Inc. in excess of $500,000 are approved in accordance with the Parent’s procedures for bidding projects in
which a related person is a bidder. In addition, the Parent approved ongoing contracts with Casella Construction, Inc., which are expected to result in additional payments to Casella Construction, Inc. 

The Parent is also party to two real estate leases with Casella Associates, LLP, a Vermont limited liability company owned by Messrs. John
Casella and Douglas Casella. These leases relate to the corporate headquarters in Rutland, Vermont and the Montpelier, Vermont facility, and provide for aggregate monthly payments by the Parent of $27,375, subject to an annual escalation provision
based on increases in the consumer price index, through their expiration in April 2018. These leases include a five year lessee renewal option with terms consistent with the current leases. 

From 1977 to 1992, the Parent operated an unlined landfill located in Whitehall, New York owned by Bola, Inc., a corporation owned by Messrs.
John Casella and Douglas Casella, which operated as a single-purpose real estate holding company. The Parent paid the cost of closing this landfill in 1992, and has agreed to pay all post-closure obligations.

FORM OF REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE 
  

	 $             
	
            ,         

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (collectively, the “Borrowers”) hereby jointly and severally
promise to pay to                      or its registered assigns (the “Lender”), in accordance with the provisions of the
Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan from time to time made by the Lender to the Borrowers under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2016 (as amended, restated, extended,
supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Agreement,” the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), among the Borrowers, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of
America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. 
 The Borrowers, jointly and severally, promise to pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan from the date of such Revolving Credit Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Agreement. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.04(f) of the Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans, all payments of principal and interest shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds at
the Administrative Agent’s Office. If any amount is not paid in full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after
judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Agreement. 
 This Revolving Credit Note is one of the Revolving Credit Notes
referred to in the Agreement, and is entitled to the benefits thereof and may be prepaid in whole or in part subject to the terms and conditions provided therein. This Revolving Credit Note is also secured by the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and
continuation of one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Revolving Credit Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable all as provided in the Agreement.
Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Lender may also attach schedules to this Revolving Credit Note and endorse thereon
the date, amount and maturity of its Revolving Credit Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 Each of the Borrowers and each of their
respective successors and assigns, and every endorser and guarantor of this Revolving Credit Note, hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and non-payment of this Revolving Credit Note.

by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Lender may also attach schedules to this Swing Line Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Swing Line Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

Each of the Borrowers and each of their respective successors and assigns, and every endorser and guarantor of this Swing Line Note, hereby

 EXHIBIT I 

FORM OF SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT 

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of
            , 20    , is by and among BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent for itself and the other financial institutions, institutional
lenders and other Persons who are or may become party to the Credit Agreement defined below as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), [INSERT NAME OF SUBORDINATING LENDER] (the “Subordinating Lender”), and
Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (the “Parent”) and each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries and Non-Borrower Subsidiaries) identified in the Credit Agreement defined below as borrowers
(collectively, the “Borrowers”). 
 WHEREAS, the Lenders have, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated
October 17, 2016 (as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, to make loans and otherwise to
extend credit to the Borrowers; and 
 WHEREAS, the Subordinating Lender has agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers pursuant to a
promissory note dated as of                     , as in effect from time to time, (the “Note”), issued by the Borrowers in
favor of the Subordinating Lender; and 
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Lenders’ willingness to make loans and
otherwise to extend credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement that the Borrowers and the Subordinating Lender enter into this Agreement with the Administrative Agent; 

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Lenders to make loans and otherwise extend credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
the Borrowers and the Subordinating Lender have agreed to enter into this Agreement with the Administrative Agent; 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as
follows: 
 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement. In
addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 Senior Debt. All principal, interest, fees, costs, enforcement
expenses (including legal fees and disbursements), collateral protection expenses and other reimbursement or indemnity obligations created or evidenced by the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any prior concurrent, or subsequent
notes, instruments or agreements of indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of any type or form whatsoever relating thereto in favor of the Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties. Senior Debt shall expressly include (a) any and all
interest, fees and expenses accruing or out of pocket costs or expenses incurred after the date of any filing 

  
 Exhibit I 

Form of Subordination Agreement 

 
by or against any of the Borrowers of any petition under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent’s or any Secured Party’s claim therefor is allowed or allowable in the case or proceeding relating thereto, and (b) any credit facilities extended to the Borrowers to refinance or refund any of the Senior Debt. 

Subordinated Debt. All principal, interest, fees, costs, enforcement expenses (including legal fees and disbursements), collateral
protection expenses and other reimbursement and indemnity obligations created or evidenced by the Note or any prior, concurrent or subsequent notes, instruments or agreements of indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of any type or form whatsoever
relating thereto in favor of the Subordinating Lender. 
 Subordinated Debt Documents. Collectively, the
[                    ], the Note and any and all other documents or instruments evidencing or further guarantying or securing directly or
indirectly any of the Subordinated Debt, whether now existing or hereafter created. 
 2. General. The Subordinated Debt and any and all Subordinated
Debt Documents shall be and hereby are subordinated and the payment thereof is deferred until the full and final payment in cash of the Senior Debt, whether now or hereafter incurred or owed by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the Borrowers shall be permitted to pay, and the Subordinating Lender shall be permitted to receive, any regularly scheduled payment of interest or principal on the Subordinated Debt so long as at the time of such payment, or
after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or would occur after giving effect thereto. 

3. Enforcement. The Subordinating Lender will not take or omit to take any action or assert any claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt or
otherwise that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Subordinated Lender will not assert, collect or enforce the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or take any action to foreclose or realize
upon the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or enforce any of the Subordinated Debt Documents except (a) in each such case as necessary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing under the Credit Agreement
or would occur after giving effect thereto, to collect any sums expressly permitted to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2 hereof, or (b) to the extent (but only to such extent) that the commencement of a legal action may
be required to toll the running of any applicable statute of limitation. Until the Senior Debt has been finally paid in full in cash, the Subordinating Lender shall not have any right of setoff, recoupment, subrogation, reimbursement, restitution,
contribution or indemnity whatsoever from any assets of any of the Borrowers, or any guarantor of or provider of collateral security for the Senior Debt. The Subordinating Lender further waives any and all rights with respect to marshalling. 

  
 Exhibit I 

Form of Subordination Agreement 
 2

 4. Payments Held in Trust. The Subordinating Lender will hold in trust and immediately pay over to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, in the same form of payment received, with appropriate endorsements, for application to the Senior Debt any cash amount that any of the Borrowers or any guarantor of or provider of collateral
security for the Senior Debt pays to the Subordinating Lender with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or that the Subordinating Lender may receive with respect to the Subordinated Debt in each case except with respect to payments expressly permitted
pursuant to Section 2 hereof. 
 5. Defense to Enforcement. If the Subordinating Lender, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement,
shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against any of the Borrowers, then such Borrowers may interpose as a defense or plea the making of this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may
intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its own name or in the name of such Borrower. If the Subordinating Lender, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, shall attempt to collect any of the Subordinated Debt or enforce any of the
Subordinated Debt Documents, then the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any of the Borrowers may, by virtue of this Agreement, restrain the enforcement thereof in its own name or (as the case may be) in the name of the Borrowers. If the
Subordinating Lender, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, obtains any cash or other assets of any of the Borrowers or any guarantor of or provider of collateral security for the Senior Debt as a result of any administrative, legal or
equitable actions, or otherwise, the Subordinating Lender agrees forthwith to pay, deliver and assign to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Secured Parties, with appropriate endorsements, any such cash for application to the Senior
Debt and any such other assets as collateral for the Senior Debt. 
 6. Bankruptcy, etc. 

6.1 Payments Relating to Subordinated Debt. At any meeting of creditors of any of the Borrowers or in the event of any case or
proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the assets of any of the Borrowers or the proceeds thereof, whether such case or proceeding be for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
any of the Borrowers or any of their businesses, a receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proceeding by or against any of the Borrowers for relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code
(11 U.S.C. §101 et seq.) or any other bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or any other law relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension or marshalling of assets
or otherwise, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such proceeding to receive or collect for the benefit of the Secured Parties any 

  
 Exhibit I 

Form of Subordination Agreement 
 3

 
cash or other assets of the Borrowers distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any securities issued on account of any Subordinated Debt, and apply such cash to or to
hold such other assets or securities as collateral for the Senior Debt, and to apply to the Senior Debt any cash proceeds of any realization upon such other assets or securities that the Administrative Agent in its discretion elects to effect, until
all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash, rendering to the Subordinating Lender any surplus to which the Subordinating Lender is then entitled. 

6.2 Securities by the Plan of Reorganization or Readjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.1,
the Subordinating Lender shall be entitled to receive and retain any securities of any of the Borrowers or any other corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment (i) the payment of which is subordinate,
at least to the extent provided in this Agreement with respect to the Subordinated Debt, to the payment of all Senior Debt under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment and (ii) all other terms of which are acceptable to the Required
Lenders and the Administrative Agent. 
 6.3 Subordinated Debt Voting Rights. At any such meeting of creditors or in the event of
any such case or proceeding, the Subordinating Lender shall retain the right to vote and otherwise act with respect to the Subordinated Debt (including, without limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete
liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension), provided that the Subordinating Lender shall not vote with respect to any such plan or take any other action in any way so as to contest (i) the validity of any Senior
Debt or any collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, (ii) the relative rights and duties of any holders of any Senior Debt established in any instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of such
collateral or guaranties or (iii) the Subordinating Lender’s obligations and agreements set forth in this Agreement. 
 7. Absence of Liens;
Lien Subordination. The Subordinating Lender does not have and agrees not to acquire any Lien in any assets of any Person to secure the Subordinated Debt until the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Subordinating Lender now has or hereafter acquires any Lien securing any Subordinated Debt, such Lien shall be and hereby is made junior in priority and is subordinated to the rights and interests of the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties in the assets subject to such Lien and the Subordinating Lender until the Full Payment of the Senior Debt. The foregoing shall apply irrespective of the time of the execution, delivery or issuance of any thereof or the filing or
recording for perfection of any thereof or the filing of any financing statement or continuation statement relating to any thereof (or the exercise of control over or possession of any Collateral), the order of perfection of any such Liens (or
failure to make any such filing or perfect any Liens securing the Senior Debt) or the avoidance of any such Lien. 

  
 Exhibit I 

Form of Subordination Agreement 
 4

 7.1 Further Assurances. The Subordinating Lender hereby agrees, upon request of the
Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time, to execute such other documents or instruments as may be requested by the Administrative Agent further to evidence of public record or otherwise the senior priority of the Senior Debt as
contemplated hereby. 
 7.2 Books and Records. The Subordinating Lender further agrees to maintain on its books and records such
notations as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination contemplated hereby and to perfect or preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

7.3 Release of Guaranties and Collateral. Without limiting any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party
under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law, in the event that the Administrative Agent releases or discharges (i) any guaranties of the Senior Debt given by guarantors which have also guaranteed the Subordinated Debt
or (ii) any security interests in, or mortgages or Liens upon, any collateral securing the Senior Debt (whether granted by the Borrowers, any guarantor or any other Person) and also securing the Subordinated Debt, such guarantors or (as the
case may be) such collateral shall thereupon be deemed to have been released from all such guaranties or security interests, mortgages or Liens in favor of the Subordinating Lender. The Subordinating Lender agrees that, within ten (10) days
following the Administrative Agent’s written request therefor, the Subordinating Lender will execute, deliver and file any and all such termination statements, mortgage discharges, Lien releases and other agreements and instruments as the
Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate in order to give effect to the preceding sentence. The Subordinating Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, and its successors and assigns, and their respective
officers, with full power of substitution, the true and lawful attorney(s) of the Subordinating Lender for the purpose of effecting any such executions, deliveries and filings if and to the extent that the Subordinating Lender shall have failed to
perform such obligations pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3 within such ten (10) day period. 

8. Lenders’ Freedom of Dealing. The Subordinating Lender agrees, with respect to the Senior Debt and any and all collateral therefor or
guaranties thereof, that the Borrowers and the Secured Parties may agree to increase the amount of the Senior Debt or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Senior Debt, and the Secured Parties may grant extensions of the time of payment or
performance to and make compromises, including releases of collateral or guaranties, 

  
 Exhibit I 

Form of Subordination Agreement 
 5

 
and settlements with the Borrowers and all other persons, in each case without the consent of the Subordinating Lender and without affecting the agreements of the Subordinating Lender or the
Borrowers contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Borrowers to agree or consent to a settlement or compromise of a claim which
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may have against the Borrowers. 
 9. Modification or Sale of the Subordinated Debt. The
Subordinating Lender will not, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, modify any of the terms of any of the Subordinated Debt or any of the Subordinated Debt Documents in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the
Secured Parties without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; nor will the Subordinating Lender sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Subordinated Debt to any person other than a
person who agrees in a writing, satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, to become a party hereto and to succeed to the rights and to be bound by all of the obligations of the Subordinating Lender hereunder. In the case of any
such disposition by the Subordinating Lender, the Subordinating Lender will notify the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) days prior to the date of any of such intended disposition. 

10. Borrowers’ Obligations Absolute. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, as between the Borrowers and the Subordinating Lender,
the obligation of the Borrowers to pay to the Subordinating Lender all amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, or prevent the Subordinating Lender
(except as expressly otherwise provided in Section 3, Section 6 or Section 7 hereof) from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by the Subordinated Debt Documents and by applicable law
upon a default in the payment of the Subordinated Debt or under any Subordinated Debt Document, all, however, subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement. 

11. Termination of Subordination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and the obligations and agreements of the Subordinating
Lender and the Borrowers hereunder shall continue to be fully operative, until all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid and satisfied in full in cash and such full payment and satisfaction shall be final and not avoidable. To the extent that the
Borrowers or any guarantor or provider of collateral for the Senior Debt makes any payment on the Senior Debt that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause (such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such Voided
Payment, that portion of the Senior Debt that had been previously satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such Voided Payment 

  
 Exhibit I 

Form of Subordination Agreement 
 6

 
had never been made. In the event that a Voided Payment is recovered from any Secured Party, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have existed and to be continuing under the Credit Agreement
from the date of such Secured Party’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment until the full amount of such Voided Payment is restored to such Secured Party. During any continuance of any such Event of Default, this Agreement shall be in full
force and effect with respect to the Subordinated Debt. To the extent that the Subordinating Lender has received any payments with respect to the Subordinated Debt subsequent to the date of any Secured Party’s initial receipt of such Voided
Payment and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, the Subordinating Lender shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of such Secured Party, and the Subordinating Lender hereby agrees
to pay to such Secured Party, upon demand, the full amount so received by the Subordinating Lender during such period of time. Upon the final and unavoidable payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Senior Debt, this Agreement will
automatically terminate without any additional action by any party hereto. 
 12. Notices. All notices and other communications which are
required and may be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sufficient and effective in all respects if delivered in hand, mailed by United States registered or certified first-class mail, postage prepaid, sent
by overnight courier, or sent by telegraph, telex or telecopier and confirmed by delivery via courier or postal service, addressed as follows:

LENDER AND THE BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT WHICH IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ANY SPECIAL EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO,
ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH OF THE SUBORDINATING LENDER AND THE BORROWERS (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN. 

15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive any provisions of this Agreement benefiting the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties; provided, however, that such waiver shall be
effective only if in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and shall be limited to the specific provision or provisions expressly so waived. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Subordinating Lender and
each of the Borrowers and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Secured Parties’ successors and assigns, any lender or lenders refunding or refinancing any of the Senior Debt and their respective successors and assigns, but
shall not otherwise create any rights or benefits for any third party. In the event that any lender or lenders refund or refinance any of the Senior Debt, the terms “Credit Agreement,” “Loan Documents,” “Event of

 THIS FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of October 17, 2016 (this “Supplemental
Indenture”) between SPECTRA ENERGY PARTNERS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), 

 
 WITNESSETH 

WHEREAS, the Partnership has heretofore entered into an Indenture, dated as of June 9, 2011 (the “Original Indenture”), with
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 30, 2014 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Base
Indenture”); 
 WHEREAS, the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the
“Indenture;” 
 WHEREAS, a new series of Debt Securities may at any time be established in accordance with the provisions of the
Base Indenture, and the form and terms of such series may be established by a supplemental indenture executed by the Partnership and the Trustee; 

WHEREAS, the Partnership proposes to establish via this Supplemental Indenture a new series of Debt Securities; and 

WHEREAS, all conditions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and to make it a valid and binding
obligation of the Partnership have been done or performed. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 ESTABLISHMENT

 Section 1.01. Establishment. 

(a) There is hereby established a new series of Debt Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the Partnership’s
3.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). 
 (b) There is to be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture $600,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and from time to time thereafter there may be authenticated and delivered an unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes (as defined below). 

(c) The Depositary with respect to the Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). As permitted by
Section 2.15(c)(iii) of the Base Indenture, the Depositary shall surrender any Global Security representing the Notes in exchange for individual Notes in definitive form if an Event of Default with respect to such Notes has occurred and is
continuing, and the Depositary requests the issuance of such Notes in definitive form. 

  
 2 

 (d) Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall bear interest from
October 17, 2016 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. 
 (e) No Notes shall be entitled
to the benefits of any Guarantee pursuant to Article XIV of the Base Indenture. 
 (f) If and to the extent that the provisions of the Base
Indenture are duplicative of, or in contradiction with, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern. 

ARTICLE II  
 DEFINITIONS
AND 
 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

Section 2.01. Definitions. 

All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined below shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Base Indenture. The
following are additional definitions used in this Supplemental Indenture: 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United
States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for such Notes, yields for the
two published maturities most closely corresponding to such United States Treasury security shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month.

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for Notes, (1) the average of four Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest of all of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
average of all such quotations. 
 “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means, at any date of determination, the total amount of
consolidated assets of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries after deducting therefrom (1) all current liabilities (excluding (a) any current liabilities that by their terms are extendable or renewable at the option of the obligor thereon
to a time more than 12 months after the time as of which the amount thereof is being computed and (b) current maturities of long-term debt), and (2) the value (net of any applicable reserves) of all goodwill, trade names, trademarks,
patents and other like intangible assets, all as set forth, or on a pro forma basis would be set forth, on the consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries for the most recently completed fiscal quarter, prepared in accordance
with GAAP. 

  
 3 

 “Principal Property” means, whether currently owned or leased or subsequently acquired,
any pipeline, gathering system, terminal, storage facility, processing plant or other plant or facility located in the United States of America or any territory or political subdivision thereof owned or leased by the Partnership or any of its
Subsidiaries and used in transporting, distributing, terminalling, gathering, treating, processing, marketing or storing natural gas, natural gas liquids or other hydrocarbons, except (1) any property or asset consisting of inventories,
furniture, office fixtures and equipment (including data processing equipment), vehicles and equipment used on, or useful with, vehicles (but excluding vehicles that generate transportation revenues) and (2) any such pipeline or other plant or
facility that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors as evidenced by resolutions of the Board of Directors, is not material in relation to the activities of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

“Principal Subsidiary” means any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries that owns or leases, directly or indirectly, a Principal
Property. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Partnership. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and its successors; (ii) Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its successors; (iii) Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and its successors; and (iv) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and its successors; provided, however, that if any such Person shall
cease to be a U.S. government securities dealer in New York, New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Partnership shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as
determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 
 “Sale-Leaseback Transaction” means the sale
or transfer by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary of any Principal Property to a Person (other than the Partnership or a Principal Subsidiary) and the taking back by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary, as the case may be, of a
lease of such Principal Property. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
The Partnership shall calculate the Treasury Rate on the third Business Day preceding any Redemption Date and provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Treasury Rate and showing the calculation of such in reasonable
detail prior to the redemption.

 ARTICLE III 

THE NOTES 

Section 3.01. Form. 

The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities. The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes and Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Supplemental
Indenture, and the Partnership and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 

Section 3.02. Issuance of Additional Notes. 

The Partnership may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee, increase the principal
amount of the Notes by issuing additional Notes (“Additional Notes”). Any Additional Notes so issued will have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date
from which interest thereon will begin to accrue and the initial interest payment date), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes that were previously issued, and such Additional Notes will form a single
series with such Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. 
 ARTICLE IV 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

Section 4.01. Optional Redemption. 

(a) The Partnership may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time before July 15, 2026 at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption
Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to
such Redemption 

  
 5 

 
Date. On or after July 15, 2026, the Notes shall be redeemable, at the Partnership’s option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. 
 (b) If
fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, such Notes shall be selected for redemption not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date and such selection shall be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis or by lot (or, in
the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, by such method as the Depositary may require); provided, that no partial redemption of any Note will occur if such redemption would reduce the principal amount of such Note to less than
$2,000. Notices of redemption with respect to the Notes shall be sent at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the address of such Holder as shown on the Debt Security Registrar with
respect to such Notes; provided, however, that such notice may be given more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date if the notice is given in connection with a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes to
be redeemed as provided in Section 11.01(a) of the Base Indenture. 
 (c) The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture
shall apply to any optional redemption of the Notes except to the extent such provisions conflict with the foregoing. 
 (d) The Partnership
may at any time and from time to time repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. Any such repurchase shall not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. 

ARTICLE V 
 COVENANTS

 The following covenants, in addition to the covenants set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture, shall apply to the Notes: 

Section 5.01. Limitations on Liens. 

While any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Partnership shall not, and shall not permit any of its Principal Subsidiaries to, create, or
permit to be created or to exist, any Lien upon any Principal Property of the Partnership or any of its Principal Subsidiaries, or upon any equity interests of any Principal Subsidiary, whether such Principal Property is, or equity interests are,
owned on or acquired after the date of the Indenture, to secure any Debt, unless the Notes then outstanding are equally and ratably secured by such Lien for so long as any such Debt is so secured, other than: 

(a) purchase money mortgages, or other purchase money Liens of any kind upon property acquired by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary
after the date of the Indenture, or Liens of any kind existing on any property or any equity interests at the time of the acquisition thereof (including Liens that exist on any property or any equity interests of a Person that is consolidated with
or merged with or into the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary or that transfers or leases all or substantially all of its properties or assets to the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary), or conditional sales agreements or other title
retention agreements and 

  
 6 

 
leases in the nature of title retention agreements with respect to any property hereafter acquired, so long as no such Lien shall extend to or cover any other property of the Partnership or such
Principal Subsidiary; 
 (b) Liens upon any property of the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary or any equity interests of any Principal
Subsidiary existing as of the date of the initial issuance of the Notes or upon the property or any equity interests of any entity, which Liens existed at the time such entity became a Subsidiary of the Partnership; 

(c) pledges or deposits to secure: (i) any governmental charges or levies; (ii) obligations under workers’ compensation laws,
unemployment insurance and other social security legislation; (iii) performance in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than contracts for the payment of money) or leases to which the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary is a
party; (iv) public or statutory obligations of the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary; and (v) surety, stay, appeal, indemnity, customs, performance or return-of-money bonds or pledges or deposits in lieu thereof; 

(d) Liens created by or resulting from any litigation or proceeding that at the time is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, including Liens relating to judgments thereunder as to which the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary has not exhausted its appellate rights; 

(e) Liens on deposits required by any Person with whom the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary enters into forward contracts, futures
contracts, swap agreements or other commodities contracts in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with established risk management policies and Liens in connection with leases (other than capital leases) made, or existing on property
acquired, in the ordinary course of business; 
 (f) easements (including, without limitation, reciprocal easement agreements and utility
agreements), zoning restrictions, rights-of-way, covenants, consents, reservations, encroachments, variations and other restrictions on the use of property or minor irregularities in title thereto, charges or encumbrances (whether or not recorded)
affecting the use of real property and which are incidental to, and do not materially impair the use of such property in the operation of the business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the value of such property for the
purpose of such business; 
 (g) Liens in favor of the United States of America, any State, any foreign country or any department, agency or
instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any Debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase
price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Liens, including, without limitation, Liens to secure Debt of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type; 

(h) Liens of any kind upon any property acquired, constructed, developed or improved by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary (whether
alone or in association with others) after the date of the Indenture that are created prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months after such acquisition (or in the case of property constructed, developed or improved, after the

  
 7 

 
completion of such construction, development or improvement and commencement of full commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any
part of the purchase price or cost thereof; provided that in the case of such construction, development or improvement the Liens shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary other than
theretofore unimproved real property; 
 (i) Liens in favor of the Partnership, one or more Principal Subsidiaries, one or more
wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any of the foregoing in combination; 
 (j) the replacement, extension or renewal (or
successive replacements, extensions or renewals), as a whole or in part, of any Lien, or of any agreement, referred to in the clauses above, or the replacement, extension or renewal of the Debt secured thereby (not exceeding the principal amount of
Debt secured thereby, other than to provide for the payment of any underwriting or other fees related to any such replacement, extension or renewal, as well as any premiums owed on and accrued and unpaid interest payable in connection with any such
replacement, extension or renewal); provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is limited to all or a part of the same property that secured the Lien replaced, extended or renewed (plus improvements thereon or additions or
accessions thereto); or 
 (k) any Lien not excepted by the foregoing clauses; provided that immediately after the creation or
assumption of such Lien the aggregate principal amount of Debt of the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary secured by all Liens created or assumed under the provisions of this clause, together with all net sale proceeds from any Sale-Leaseback
Transactions (reduced by the amounts applied pursuant to 5.02(a) and 5.02(c)(1)) shall not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets for the fiscal quarter that was most recently completed prior to the creation or
assumption of such Lien. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of making the calculation set forth in clause (k) of the
preceding paragraph with respect to any such secured Debt of a non-wholly-owned Principal Subsidiary of the Partnership with no recourse to the Partnership or any wholly-owned Principal Subsidiary thereof, only that portion of the aggregate
principal amount of such secured Debt reflecting the Partnership’s pro rata ownership interest in such non-wholly-owned Principal Subsidiary shall be included in calculating compliance herewith. 

Section 5.02. Restriction of Sale-Leaseback Transactions. 

While the Notes remain outstanding, the Partnership shall not and shall not permit any of its Principal Subsidiaries to, engage in a
Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless: 
 (a) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of acquisition of the
relevant Principal Property or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property, whichever is later, and the Partnership has elected to designate, as a credit against (but not exceeding) the
purchase price or cost of construction of such Principal Property, an amount equal to all or a portion of the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not being so designated to be applied as set forth in clause
(c) below); 

  
 8 

 (b) the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a
Lien on the Principal Property subject to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or 

(c) the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary within a 270-day period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be
applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (1) the prepayment, repayment, redemption or retirement of any unsubordinated Debt of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (2) invest in
another Principal Property. 
 ARTICLE VI  

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

DEFEASANCE 

Section 6.01. Satisfaction and Discharge Defeasance. 

The provisions of Article XI of the Base Indenture relating to both satisfaction and discharge and defeasance shall be applicable to the
Notes. 
 Section 6.02. Covenant Defeasance. 

If the Partnership effects a covenant defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Sections 11.02(b) and 11.03 of the Base Indenture, the Partnership
shall cease to have any obligation to comply with the covenants set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof.

THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.]2 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. Interest. The Partnership promises to
pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 3.375% per annum from October 17, 2016 until maturity. The Partnership shall pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each such year, or if any such day is not
a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
issuance. The first Interest Payment Date shall be April 15, 2017. 
 2. Method of Payment. The Partnership shall pay interest
on the Notes of this series to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or
before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.17 of the Base Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest, and the Partnership shall pay principal (and premium, if any) of the Notes upon surrender thereof to the Trustee or
a paying agent. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose in New York, New York, or, at the option of the Partnership, payment of interest may be made

 A-1 

 
immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, each Global Security and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided
wire transfer instructions to the Partnership or the paying agent prior to the applicable record date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture,
shall act as paying agent and Registrar. The Partnership may change any paying agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. Indenture. The Partnership has issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 9, 2011 (the “Original
Indenture”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 30, 2014 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Base Indenture”), and by the Fifth
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 17, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between the Partnership and the Trustee. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, is referred to herein as the
“Indenture.” The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred
to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes of this series
are obligations of the Partnership initially in aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000. The Partnership may issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes under the Indenture. Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued
shall be treated as issued and outstanding Notes (and as the same series as the initial Notes, with identical terms other than with respect to the issue date, the date of first payment of interest, if applicable, and the payment of interest accruing
prior to the issue date) for all purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments and redemptions. 
 5. Optional Redemption.
The Partnership may redeem the Notes of this series, in whole or in part, at any time before July 15, 2026, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of
the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date. On or after July 15, 2026, the Notes of this series
shall be redeemable, at the Partnership’s option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed to the
Redemption Date. 
 For purposes of determining any redemption price, the following definitions shall apply: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary 

  
 A-2 

 
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes; provided, however, that if no maturity is within
three months before or after the maturity date for such Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such United States Treasury security shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated
from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means with respect to any
Redemption Date for Notes, (1) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest of all of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Quotation Agent

Certificate setting forth the Treasury Rate and showing the calculation of such in reasonable detail prior to the redemption. 
 6.
Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be sent at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address; provided, however, that such
notice may be given more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date if the notice is given in connection with a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes to be redeemed as provided in Article XI of the Base Indenture.

 A-3 

 
The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Partnership, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Partnership may require a Holder to pay any taxes, fees or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto. The Partnership need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes in respect of which a notice of
redemption has been given or for a period of 15 days before any mailing of notice of redemption. 
 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The
registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 9. Amendment and Supplement. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes
may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth in Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture, including to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption of the Partnership’s obligations to Holders of
the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation of the Partnership or the disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the Notes, to permit the
qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee or to establish the form or terms of any other series of Debt Securities. 

10. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default with respect to the Notes of this series are as follows: (i) default for 30 days in
the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Partnership for 60 days after notice to comply
with any of its other agreements in the Indenture; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Partnership. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes of this series may declare all the Notes of this series to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency with respect to the Partnership, all Outstanding Notes of this series shall ipso facto become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes of this series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. If and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith so determines, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of
principal premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series then Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes of this series waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes of this series or except as
otherwise 

  
 A-4 

 
specified in Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture. The Partnership is required to deliver to the Trustee annually an Officers’ Certificate regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the
Partnership is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

11. Trustee Dealings with the Partnership. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits
from, and perform services for the Partnership or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Partnership or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

12. No Recourse Against Others. The partners, directors, officers, employees, incorporators and members of the Partnership, as such,
shall have no liability for any obligations of the Partnership under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release
all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. 
 13. Authentication. This
Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 14. Abbreviations.

promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Partnership has caused CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
