required, be assigned and transferred to, and assumed by, the New Revolving Lenders and certain other Continuing Revolving Lenders, with the amount of such interests so assigned to and assumed by each New Revolving Lender or each assignee Continuing

Lenders will be as set forth on Part I of Schedule 2.01 attached as Annex III hereto. From and after giving effect to the assignments and assumptions pursuant to this Section III as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date

subject to any corresponding obligations it was subject to, prior to such release pursuant to be Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the Fourth Amendment

otherwise, to the manner which such assignments are effected pursuant to this Amendment, and waives in all respects the provisions of Section 

  

 3

Commitments contemplated by this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties hereto agrees that on and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the provisions of Section III(a) above, any

transferred or conveyed (or purported to be sold, transferred or conveyed) to the applicable lessor(s) in connection with such transaction or transactions; provided further that (i) the aggregate outstanding Remaining Present Value of
(A) all leases entered into in connection with all Wireless Tower Sale and Leaseback Transactions, plus (B) all leases entered into in connection with all Data Center Sale and Leaseback Transactions, plus (ii) all
Indebtedness arising under Capital Leases and Synthetic Leases entered into in reliance on Section 8.03(n)(i) does not at any time exceed $250,000,000 in the aggregate.

conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from
time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements (with such changes as may be approved by the Borrower’s accountants, subject to subsection (b) of this Section 1.03);
provided, however, that calculations of Attributable Indebtedness under any Synthetic Lease Obligations or the implied interest component of any Synthetic Lease Obligations shall be made by the Borrower in accordance with accepted
financial practice and consistent with the terms of such Synthetic Lease Obligations. 
 (b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any
change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, the application of any representation or warranty or any other provision hereof and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall
so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required
Lenders); provided that, if any party shall so request, then until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall
provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made
before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

have a continuing impact on the Consolidated Parties and (3) factually supportable. 
 1.04 Rounding. 
 Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the
other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number within the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein
(with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

 ARTICLE II 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
 2.01 Committed Loans. 
 (a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment severally agrees to make loans
(each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower (or to distribute as directed by the Borrower the proceeds of such Revolving Loan to the Borrower) 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 such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05(a), and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein. 
 (b) Tranche B Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender having a Tranche B
Term Loan Commitment as of the First Amendment Effective Date agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Tranche B Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Tranche B Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid on the Tranche B Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Tranche B Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans. 
 (a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made
upon the irrevocable notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone (provided that such telephonic notice complies with the information requirements of the form of Committed Loan Notice attached hereto). Each
such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested
date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans; provided that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of
“Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon (x) the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them, and (y) not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of
such Borrowing, conversion or 

  

 40 

 
continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been
consented to by all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in
Section 2.03(c) and Section 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice
(whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of
the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to
which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails
to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate 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 Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest
Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Borrowings of the Tranche B Term Loan made on the First Amendment Effective Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage
of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than
2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,
Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower (or will distribute as directed by the Borrower the proceeds of such Revolving Loan to the Borrower), in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans is given by the Borrower, there are L/C
Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing first shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above. 
  

 41 

 (c) Subject to Section 3.05, 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 may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans having Interest Periods greater than one month without the consent of
the Required Lenders. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower 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 Borrower 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. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of
Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans. 
 2.03 Letters of Credit. 
 (a)
The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each applicable L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders having Revolving Commitments set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the
Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders having Revolving Commitments severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving
effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the
Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain
Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. On the Closing Date, each
L/C Issuer that has issued an Existing Letters of Credit 

  

 42 

 
shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have granted to each Lender and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such L/C
Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with paragraph (b)(ii) below. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit for the purposes hereof. 
 (ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have
approved such expiry date; or 
 (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date; 
 (iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any
Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms
purport to enjoin or restrain the applicable L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such
Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to all applicants for Letters of Credit from such L/C Issuer; 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000; 
 (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; 
 (E) such Letter of Credit contains any provision for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

 (F) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Revolving
Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless (i) the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory 

  

 43 

 
arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Lender or (ii) in the
event no such satisfactory arrangements are made, the Borrower shall have provided cash collateral in an amount not less than the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit on terms satisfactory to the L/C Issuer
(in which case any such cash collateral held by such L/C Issuer will be applied as a payment of any unreimbursed drawing on such Letter of Credit immediately prior to any exercise by such L/C Issuer of its rights to require the funding of
participations in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that if the Borrower provides cash collateral in respect of any Letter of Credit in the amount of any such Revolving
Lender’s participation pursuant to this clause (ii), then the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender will be required to fund participations in the balance of such Letter of Credit under Section 2.03(c) in accordance with their
Applicable Percentages determined without taking into account the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender). 
 (iv) No L/C Issuer
shall increase or extend any Letter of Credit issued by it if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its increased or extended form under the terms hereof. 
 (v) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such
time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
 (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 Borrower delivered to the 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 Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer not later
than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, and notice of
the proposed issuance or amendment of such Letter of Credit shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent contemporaneously therewith. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable 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) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require and (G) the purpose and nature of
the requested Letter of Credit. In the 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 (1) the Letter of Credit
to be amended; 

  

 44 

 
(2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other
matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer
Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C
Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the
applicable Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not then be satisfied, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the
Borrower (or the 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
or amendment thereof, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment 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 Borrower so requests in
any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute 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 the applicable 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 Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the 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 the applicable L/C Issuer shall not
permit any such extension if (A) the applicable 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 under the terms hereof (by reason of the
provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it 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 Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 
 (iv)
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 Borrower and the Administrative
Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
  

 45 

 (v) Any Lender with a Revolving Commitment (in such capacity, a “Discretionary L/C
Issuer”) may from time to time, at the written request of the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and in such Lender’s sole discretion, agree to issue one or more Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on the
same terms and conditions in all respects as are applicable to the Letters of Credit issued by the then existing L/C Issuer(s) hereunder by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a written agreement to such effect, among (and in form
and substance satisfactory to) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Discretionary L/C Issuer. With respect to each of the Letters of Credit issued (or to be issued) thereby, each of the Discretionary L/C Issuers shall have all of the same
rights and obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be entitled to all of the same benefits (including, without limitation, the rights, obligations and benefits set forth in
Sections 2.04, 9.03 and 11.01), as are afforded to the then existing L/C Issuers hereunder and thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders with a Revolving Commitment of the appointment of
any Discretionary L/C Issuer. Each Discretionary L/C Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on a monthly basis, a report that details the activity with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Discretionary L/C Issuer (including an
indication of the maximum amount then in effect with respect to each such Letter of Credit). 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding
of Participations. 
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of
Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and of the date that the L/C Issuer is to make payment under the applicable Letter of Credit (such payment date, the “Honor Date”). Not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date (if the Borrower has received notice of such drawing prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date), the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
amount of such drawing; provided, however, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, the Borrower shall so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent not later
than 12:00 noon on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender having
a Revolving Commitment of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving 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 Committed Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the
applicable 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. 
  

 46 

 (ii) Each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent 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 Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower 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 Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery of a Committed Loan Notice) cannot be
satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower 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 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 Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for
any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer. 
 (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of
Credit, 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 Lender may
have against the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower 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 Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the
Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the applicable L/C Issuer shall
be entitled to recover from such 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

  

 47 

 
applicable L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted
to any 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 Lender such 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 the
applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the
Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) 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) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable L/C
Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable 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 Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower 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 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, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower 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), the applicable 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; 
  

 48 

 (iv) any payment by the applicable 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 the applicable 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 
 (v) 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary. 
 The Borrower 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 Borrower’s instructions or other
irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower 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 Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C
Issuer 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 applicable L/C Issuer, any Related Party of such L/C Issuer, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be
liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument
related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes 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 Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the applicable L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of
Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the applicable L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence or the applicable 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 

  

 49 

 
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer 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 applicable L/C Issuer 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. 
 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit for any
reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to
such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). Section 2.05 and Section 9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash
Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 9.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer
(which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. “Cash Collateral” means cash or deposit account balances used to Cash Collateralize an obligation, and all proceeds
thereof. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash
Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

 (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender having a Revolving
Commitment in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit accruing at the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For the purposes of computing the daily 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. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears, and (ii) 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; provided that no Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue in favor of a Defaulting Lender (except if such
Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender solely pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof) so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists,
all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
  

 50 

 (j) Fronting Fee and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to
the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit in such amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer. Such fronting fee shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears,
and (ii) due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), 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 the purposes of computing the daily 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 Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing
fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the applicable 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 on demand and are nonrefundable.

 (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents,
the terms hereof shall control. 
 (l) 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 Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower
hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

 2.04 Swingline Loans. 
 (a) The Swingline. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders having Revolving Commitments set forth in this Section 2.04, to
make loans (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan”) to the Borrower 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 Swingline Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swingline Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Committed Loans of any Lender (other than the Swingline Lender), plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
all Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the 

  

 51 

 
foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under
Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase
from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swingline Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date (or such later time as the Swingline Lender shall agree to in the case of any
Swingline Borrowing) with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the requested borrowing date,
which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swingline Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such
Swingline Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative
Agent within one hour of the Borrower’s notice requesting a Swingline Borrowing (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied (a copy of which notice shall be delivered simultaneously to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent),
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender will, promptly by in any event not later than 2:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swingline Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the
Borrower in immediately available funds. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swingline Loans. 
 (i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender having a Revolving Commitment make a Base Rate Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed 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 Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the
applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan
Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the 

  

 52 

 
account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 10:00 a.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice (which
day shall be not sooner than the first Business Day following the date on which such Committed Loan Notice is delivered), whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Revolving Loans submitted by the Swingline
Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders having a Revolving Commitment fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such 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 Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline 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. 
 (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
the Swingline Lender, the Borrower 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 Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such funding of risk participations shall
relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d)
Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if
the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender. 
  

 53 

 (ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline
Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Lender having a
Revolving Commitment shall pay to the Swingline 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 Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 (e) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on
the Swingline Loans. Until a Lender funds its Base Rate Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such
Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The
Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender. 
 (g)
Swingline Note. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in the form of Exhibit C-1. 
 2.05 Prepayments. 
 (a)
Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. 
  

	 	(i)	 Committed Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time (i) voluntarily prepay Base Rate Committed Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty, and (ii) subject to Section 3.05, voluntarily prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding) and (iv) any prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loan shall be applied ratably to the remaining
Principal Amortization Payments thereof. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such
notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make 

  

 54 

	 	 
such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that if a notice of
prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06(b), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in
accordance with Section 2.06. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such
prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 

  

	 	(ii)	Swingline Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (or such later time as may be acceptable to the
Swingline Lender) on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower,
the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 

 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 
  

	 	(i)	Aggregate Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall
immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant
to this Section 2.05(b)(i)) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. 

  

	 	(ii)	(A) Dispositions. Not later than the second Business Day following the date of any Disposition Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Tranche B Term Loan in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the related Disposition not applied (or caused to be applied) by the Loan Parties during the related Application Period to make Eligible Reinvestments as contemplated by the terms of
Section 8.05(b)(vii) (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below); provided that no amount shall be required to be applied under this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) until the aggregate Net Cash
Proceeds with respect to all Dispositions (other than Excluded Dispositions) consummated during the fiscal year in which such Disposition Prepayment Event occurred exceeds $25 million, and then only the excess thereof. 

  

 55 

 (B) Involuntary Dispositions. Not later than the second Business Day following the date of any
Involuntary Disposition Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Tranche B Term Loan in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Excess Proceeds of the related Involuntary Disposition (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in
clause (iv) below). 
  

	 	(iii)	Debt Issuances. Not later than the second Business Day following the date of any Debt Issuance Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Tranche B Term Loan in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the related Debt Issuance (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below). 

  

	 	(iv)	Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(ii) or (iii) shall be applied ratably to the
remaining Principal Amortization Payments of the Tranche B Term Loan. 

 Within the parameters of the
applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to
Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. 
 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) Voluntary Reduction of Aggregate
Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such
notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would
exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or Swingline Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments,
such sublimit automatically shall be reduced by the amount of such excess. 
 (b) General. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable
Percentage. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. A notice of termination of all the Revolving Commitments delivered by
the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date)
if such condition is not satisfied. 
  

 56 

 (c) Tranche B Term Loan Commitment. The Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, if any,
automatically shall terminate at such time as such Lender shall have made available to the Borrower its share of the Tranche B Term Loan. 
 2.07 Repayment of Loans. 
 (a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date
the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (b) Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall repay each
Swingline Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after such Loan is made (or, provided that the aggregate outstanding amount of all Swingline Loans does not exceed $5,000,000, such later date as
shall be acceptable to the Swingline Lender) and (ii) the Maturity Date. 
 (c) Tranche B Term Loan. The Borrower shall
repay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loan in consecutive quarterly installments as follows (which amounts reflect the amount of such required installments as currently in effect after giving effect to all voluntary and
mandatory prepayments of the Tranche B Term Loan made hereunder prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, and as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.05), unless
accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02:

 57 

 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any
Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03: 
 (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee accruing at the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of
Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not
met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date; provided that no
commitment fee shall accrue hereunder with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender (except if such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender solely pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof) so long as such Lender shall
be a Defaulting Lender. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay (i) 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, and (ii) to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. In
each case such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
  

 58 

 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. 
 (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans 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 Borrower or for any
other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage
Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the 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 the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the 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 Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b) or under Article IX. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the
Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
 2.11 Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans in
addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit C (a “Revolving Note”), and 

  

 59 

 
(ii) in the case of the Tranche B Term Loan, be in the form of Exhibit C-2 (a “Tranche B Term Note”). Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Revolving 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 subsection (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 Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect
of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of demonstrable error. 
 2.12
Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 
 (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be
made without deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower 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 (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 4:00 p.m. may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been 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 Borrower shall come due on a day other than a
Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b)(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate
Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed 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 Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (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 and 

  

 60 

 
(B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may
have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions
by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case
may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or L/C Issuers, 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 Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to 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 Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article V 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. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and to fund participations
in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed
Loan, purchase its participation or make its payment pursuant to Section 11.04(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.

  

 61 

 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 any principal of or interest on any of
the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued
interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations 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 
 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained
by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 
 ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01 Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any
Indemnified 

  

 62 

 
Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis
for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower 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. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that
is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any such previously delivered documentation to the Borrower. 
  

 63 

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax
purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
 (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Each Lender and L/C Issuer that is a United States Person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (other than Persons that are corporations
or otherwise exempt from United States backup withholding Tax), shall deliver at the time(s) and in the manner(s) prescribed by applicable law, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (as applicable), a properly completed and duly executed
United States Internal Revenue Form W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding Tax on payments made hereunder. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administration Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of the Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and, if the
Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, determines in good faith that making a claim for a refund will not have an adverse effect on its Taxes or business operations, shall, within 60 days after receipt of a request by the
Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to 

  

 64 

 
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or such L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 3.02 Illegality. 
 If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market,
then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the 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, 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. 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 the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) 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, (b) 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 (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent
will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue into new interest periods Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion or upon the
instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, 

  

 65 

 
the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans 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. 
 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 any L/C Issuer; 
 (ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a
Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or
such L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such 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 such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then the Borrower 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, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, in each case upon receipt of a written request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer showing the computation of such
amount in reasonable detail and certifying that it is the general practice of such Lender or such L/C Issuer to charge such amount to its borrowers. 
 (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 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 Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such 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 

  

 66 

 
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 Borrower 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, in each case upon receipt of a written request of such Lender or L/C Issuer showing the computation of such amount in reasonable detail and certifying that it is the general practice of
such Lender or L/C Issuer to charge such amount to its borrowers. 
 (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 3.04, showing the
computation of such amount or amounts in reasonable detail and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender 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 Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or such L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or 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 six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 (e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower 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 reasonably and in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the
Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender together with a computation in reasonable detail of such additional interest. If a Lender fails
to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 
  

 67 

 3.05 Compensation for Losses; Breakage Payments. 
 Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold
such Lender harmless from any loss, 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 Borrower (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 Borrower; 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 Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13; 
 Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to equal an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of
such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would offer
were it to offer, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from major banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. For the purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall have been 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. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts 

  

 68 

 
payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any significant respect to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13. 
 3.07 Survival.

 All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 The Guarantors
agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as
provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their

(subject only to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents. In addition, at such time as any Foreign Subsidiary ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary, the Loan Parties shall
cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent such local law security documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request and deem necessary for the purpose of effecting such Lien on 66% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of
such Foreign Subsidiary and ensuring the validity and enforceability of such Lien under applicable local law, and a customary legal opinion covering the creation and perfection of such Lien under such applicable local law.

 If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders,
take any or all of the following actions: 
 (a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of all
L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
 (b) 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 Borrower; 
 (c)
require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and 
 (d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents; 
 provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(g) with respect to the Borrower, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of all 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 Borrower 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. 
  

 106 

 9.03 Application of Funds. 
 After the acceleration of the Obligations as provided for in Section 9.02(b) (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 the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in
the following order: 
 First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts
(including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such, ratably among them in
proportion to the amounts described in this clause First payable to them; 
 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 (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the respective L/C
Issuers 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, 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, L/C Borrowings, obligations under Swap Contracts
between any Loan Party and any Lender of Affiliate of any Lender, obligations under an Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender of Affiliate of any Lender and to Cash Collateralize the undrawn amounts of Letters of Credit,
ratably among such parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth 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 Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy 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. If at any time
after any Obligation shall have been Cash Collateralized no Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to the Borrower all the Cash Collateral.

 ARTICLE X 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 10.01 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. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions
on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Lenders and the Agents agree that the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to all of the benefits and privileges of this Article X to the same extent as the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders
and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 10.02 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, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. 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 

  

 108 

 
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; and 
 (c) shall not,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith
shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of
any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth
herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 10.04 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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or
the applicable 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 Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by
it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
  

 109 

 10.05 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. 
 10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

 The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders
that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers 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 (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender and 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 (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to
its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the 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 while the retiring Administrative Agent was
acting as Administrative Agent. 
  

 110 

 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute
its resignation as an L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be 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 the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such
Letters of Credit. 
 10.07 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. 
 10.08 No Other Duties, Etc. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Book Managers, Arrangers or
agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer
hereunder. 
 10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, 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 

  

 111 

 
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 Section 2.03(i) and (j), Section 2.08 and Section 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer(s), 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 2.08 and 11.04. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender
or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 
 The Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize and direct each of the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable: 
 (a) to release (i) any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations outstanding under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and the expiration, termination
or Cash Collateralization of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (C) subject to
Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (ii) any Lien on the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that becomes a Non-Pledged Subsidiary at any time after the Closing Date as a result of a

 112 

 
such Person (including, without limitation, Wireless LLC, as contemplated by Section 7.12(c)) becomes an Excluded Subsidiary at any time
after the Closing Date as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. 
 In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this
Section 10.10, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, at the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s expense, all documents that the Borrower or such
Subsidiary shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Effective immediately upon any Loan Party ceasing to be a Subsidiary or ceasing to be a Guarantor, such Loan Party shall cease to be a party to this Agreement. Upon request
by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of
Property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10; provided that the failure to obtain such confirmation shall not derogate from the rights of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries
under this Section 10.10.

the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the
amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued

the Lenders under one or more tranches but not under any other tranche may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected tranche or tranches of Lenders that
would be required to consent thereto under this Section 11.01 if such tranche or tranches of Lenders were the only tranche or tranches of Lenders hereunder at the time. 
 (b) Incremental Facilities. 
 (i) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) at any time and from time to time to increase
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or to establish one or more additional separate tranches of term loans (each such increase to the Revolving Commitments and/or establishment of a new tranche term loans being referred to herein as an
“Incremental Facility,” and all of such increases and establishments being referred to collectively as the “Incremental Facilities”) to be made to the Borrower by an agreement in writing entered into by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Person (including any Lender) that shall agree to provide any such increase to the Revolving Commitments or such separate tranches of term loans (but without the consent of any other Lender), and each such
Person that shall not already be a Lender shall, at the time such agreement becomes effective, become a Lender with the same effect as if it had originally been a Lender under this Agreement with the Revolving Commitment and/or term loan set forth
in such 

  

 115 

 
agreement; provided, however, that: (A) without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of increases in the
Revolving Commitments and/or separate term loans effected after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to this Section 11.01(b) shall not exceed $250,000,000; (B) no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time
of the amendment giving effect to any such increase in the Revolving Commitments and/or the making of a separate term loan, as applicable, becomes effective; and (C) no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any such increase by increasing
its own commitment hereunder unless such Lender elects to do so in its sole discretion at the time of such increase. The terms applicable to any additional Revolving Commitments or term loans, as applicable, shall be the same as those applicable to
the initial Revolving Commitments and Tranche B Term Loan, as applicable, (after giving effect to any amendment in connection with the establishment of such additional Revolving Commitments or term loans, as applicable), except in respect of
pricing, amortization and maturity; provided, however, that (A) each such Incremental Facility structured as a separate term loan tranche may be provided the right to ratable (with the Tranche B Term Loan and each other
Incremental Facility structured as a separate term loan tranche) prepayment in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayment, (B) no more than 20% of the initial principal amount of any Incremental Facility structured as a separate term
loan tranche shall amortize (pursuant to schedule amortization) prior to the Maturity Date of the Tranche B Term Loan, and (C) the final maturity date of any Incremental Facility structured as a separate term loan tranche shall not occur prior
to the Maturity Date of the Tranche B Term Loan or the final maturity date of any other then existing Incremental Facility structured as a separate term loan tranche. 
 (ii) Any such amendment (or amendment and restatement) effected pursuant to Section 11.01(b)(i) shall amend the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to set forth the terms of each Incremental Facility established thereby (including the amount and the final maturity thereof, any provisions relating to the amortization or mandatory prepayment thereof,
the interest to accrue and be payable thereon and any fees to be payable in respect thereof (in each case subject to any applicable restrictions set forth in subsection (i) of this Section 11.01(b)) and to effect such other changes
(including changes to the provisions of Section 11.01(a), Section 2.05 and the definition of “Required Lenders”) as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in connection with the
establishment of any such Incremental Facility; provided, however, that no such agreement shall: (A) effect any change described in any of clauses (A), (B), (C), (F) and (G) of Section 11.01(a) without
the consent of each Person required to consent to such change under such clause (it being agreed, however, that any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or establishment of any Incremental Facility consisting of a separate tranche of term
loans will not, of itself, be deemed to effect any of the changes described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (F) and (G) of Section 11.01(a)(i), and that modifications to Section 2.12, Section 9.03 or the
definition of “Required Lenders” or other provisions relating to voting provisions to provide the Persons providing the applicable Incremental Facility with the benefit of such provisions will not, by themselves, be deemed to effect any of
the changes described in clauses (D) and (E) of Section 11.01(a)(i)), or (B) amend Article VII, VIII or 

  

 116 

 
IX in any manner that by its terms benefits one or more tranches, but not all tranches, of Loans or Commitments without the prior written consent of
Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Revolving Commitments then existing, if the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments are not so benefited, and of Lenders holding a majority in interest of each separate tranche of term loans then existing
and not so benefited, (it being agreed that no provision requiring the Borrower to prepay term loans of one or more Incremental Facilities with the proceeds of Dispositions, Involuntary Dispositions, Debt Issuances, Equity Issuances or with the
proceeds of excess cash flow will be deemed to violate this clause). The loans, commitments and borrowings of any Incremental Facility established pursuant to this Section 11.01(b) shall constitute Loans, Commitments and Borrowings
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 Guaranty set forth in Article IV hereunder and the
security interests and Liens created by the Collateral Documents, and the Borrower shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the requirements of this sentence are satisfied after the
establishment of any such Incremental Facility. 
 (c) Voting Rights of Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the unfunded Commitments of, and the outstanding Loans, L/C Obligations and participations therein held, or deemed held by, any Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of any determination of whether all Lenders or the Required
Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder, except if such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender solely pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof) (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this
Section 11.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender (i) which by its terms affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders,
(ii) increases or extends the Commitment of any such Defaulting Lender, (iii) reduces the principal of or (except as provided in Section 11.01(a)(i)(C) above) the rate of interest for Loans of such Defaulting Lender, or fees or other
amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to such Defaulting Lender or (iv) amends or modifies any provision of this Section 11.01(c), shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 (d) Voting Rights of Lenders During Bankruptcy Proceedings. Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain
circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and
such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders. 
 (e) Additional Borrower. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement that would have the effect of adding one or more additional Borrowers hereunder shall be effective without the consent of all the Lenders. Any Lender not providing such consent may be replaced by the Borrower in accordance with
Section 11.13. 
  

 117

losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages).

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 Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States
Federal or state securities laws. 
 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swingline Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such
notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any 

  

 119 

 
confirmation thereof. The Borrower 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 Borrower. 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. 
 11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies. 
 (a) No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative
Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 (acting with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders) for the benefit of all 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
Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising
setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (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 Loan Party 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 9.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to
Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Agreement 

  

 120 

 
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 each L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and

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), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Parties, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any 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), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, 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 its Related Parties or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach of contract, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and
nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders.
To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (or any
sub-agent 

  

 121 

 
thereof), each L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent), each L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent),
the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the applicable L/C Issuer 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), the Collateral Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or the applicable L/C Issuer 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, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for

shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive
the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 11.05 Payments Set Aside. 
 To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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, the Collateral 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, 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 

  

 122 

 
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
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 11.06 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of 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 and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing
to it); provided that 
 (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) or, if the Commitments are not then in effect, the outstanding principal 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 (A) in the case of a Revolving Commitment and/or Revolving Loans,
$5,000,000 and (B) in the case of the Tranche B Term Loan, $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, 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; 
  

 123 

 (ii) 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 clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of the Swingline Loans; 
 (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each L/C Issuer
unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and 
 (iv) 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, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 11.06, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 11.06,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and
principal amounts of the Loans 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, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by each of the Borrower and the L/C Issuers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan 

  

 124 

 
Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders 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. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e)
Limitation on Participation Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender or a Lender not otherwise exempt from backup
withholding and information reporting if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of
the Borrower, to comply with Section 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) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in
any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be 

  

 125 

 
of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (h) Resignation Swingline Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if at any time PNC assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, PNC may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as
Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of
PNC as Swingline Lender. If PNC resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline 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 Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor Swingline Lender, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender. 
 (i)
Resignation as an L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America, PNC or any other Lender that is also acting as an L/C Issuer hereunder assigns all of its Commitment and
Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America, PNC or such Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be
entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America, PNC or such Lender as an L/C
Issuer. If Bank of America, PNC or such other Lender 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 Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).
Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) 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, PNC or such Lender to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America, PNC or such
applicable Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

 Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, auditors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons
to whom such 

  

 126 

 
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 11.06(f) or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 11.07 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 Borrower. 
 For purposes of this Section 11.07, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary
relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information
and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 
 11.08 Set-off. 
 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party 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 

  

 127 

 
Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such
Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application 
 11.09
Interest Rate Limitation. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed
to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 
 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, 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 shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 11.11 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 any Lender may have had notice or knowledge 

  

 128 

 
of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until such time as the Obligations under the Loan Documents
have been Fully Satisfied. 
 11.12 Severability. 
 If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11.13 Replacement of Lenders. 
 If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 with respect to circumstances that do not affect the other Lenders hereunder, (iv) a Lender does not consent to a proposed change, waiver,
discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document that requires unanimous consent of all Lenders and that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01, or (v) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 11.06(b); 
 (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 assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (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; and 
  

 129 

 (e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender’s failure to consent
to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document, the applicable amendment, modification and/or waiver of this Agreement that the Borrower has requested shall become effective upon giving effect to such
assignment (and any related assignments required to be effected in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 11.13 and Section 11.06). 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply.

Loan Party receives any payment of any Intercompany Debt at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Section 11.18, such payment shall be held by such Loan Party, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and
