upon receipt of such notification, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Percentage of such aggregate amount of Swingline Loans. Each Lender’s obligation to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this subsection is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and each
payment by a Lender to acquire such participations shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this subsection by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders under this subsection), and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in Swingline Loans acquired pursuant to this subsection, and thereafter
payments in respect of such Swingline Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or any other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a
Swingline Loan after the Swingline Lender receives the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly remit any such amounts received by it to the Lenders that shall have
made payments pursuant to this subsection and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this subsection will not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

 Section 2.05. Optional Increase in Commitments. At any time prior to the date that is thirty days prior to the Revolving
Availability Termination Date, if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result after giving effect thereto), the Borrower, may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments (each such increase to be in an
aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000), either by designating a financial institution not theretofore a Lender to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and only if such financial institution accepts a Commitment in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000
and not less than $10,000,000), or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Lender or other financial institution of an instrument (a
“Commitment Acceptance”) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other financial institution shall become a Lender with a Commitment as
therein set forth and with all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder, and 

  

 25 

 
any such other financial institution shall be deemed to be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without any amendment
hereto or thereto and without the consent of any other party (other than those required above in this Section 2.05); provided: 
 (a)
that the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders; 
 (b)
that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a copy of the Commitment Acceptance; 
 (c) that the amount of such
increase, together with all other increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.05 since the date of this Agreement, does not exceed $50,000,000; 
 (d) that, before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article 3 of this Agreement
shall be true and correct; and 
 (e) that the Administrative Agent shall have received such evidence (including an opinion of
Borrower’s counsel) as it may reasonably request to confirm the Borrower’s due authorization of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05 and the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower resulting
therefrom. 
 On the date of any such increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) above have been satisfied. 
 Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of
the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.05: 
 (x) within five Domestic Business Days, in the case of any Base Rate
Borrowings then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Borrowing in its entirety and, to the extent the Borrower
elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 4, the Borrower shall reborrow Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Loans are
held by the Lenders in such proportion; and 
 (y) each existing Lender whose Commitment has not increased pursuant to this
Section 2.05 (each, a “Non-increasing Lender”) shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender whose Commitment has been assumed or increased under this Section 2.05 (each, an
“Increased Commitment Lender”), and each Increased Commitment Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from each Non-Increasing Lender, a participation (on the terms specified in
Section 2.04(e) respectively) in each Swingline Loan in which such Non-Increasing Lender has acquired a participation in an amount equal to such Increased Commitment Lender’s Percentage thereof, until such time as all Swingline Exposures
are held by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase. 
  

 26 

 Section 2.06. Funding of Revolving Loans. (a) Each Lender making a Revolving Loan
hereunder shall wire the principal amount thereof in immediately available funds, by 1:00 p.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on the proposed date of such Loan, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in Cleveland, Ohio
and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender
before the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance
with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance on such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender
and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the day such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

 Section 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans initially shall be of the Interest Type specified
in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Interest Type
or, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, to continue such Borrowing for one or more additional Interest Periods, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting that a Borrowing of the Interest Type resulting from such election be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or e-mail transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
  

 27 

 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election shall specify the following information in compliance
with Section 2.02 and subsection (e) of this Section: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election applies
and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to
such Interest Election, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing
or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”. 
 If an Interest Election requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly after it receives an Interest Election, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender as to the details thereof and such Lender’s
portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) if the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election with respect to a Eurodollar
Borrowing before the end of an Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrowing (unless repaid) will be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as
a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) each Eurodollar Borrowing (unless repaid) will be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto on the date of such notice. 
 Section 2.08. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments will terminate on the Revolving
Availability Termination Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided
that (i) the amount of each reduction of the Commitments shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000.000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and
to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.10, the total Exposures would exceed the total Commitments and (iii) the Borrower shall not reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect thereto, the outstanding
Commitments would be less than $50,000,000. 
  

 28 

 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Commitments under Section 2.08(b), at least one Business Day before the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly after it receives any such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section will be irrevocable; provided that any such notice terminating the Commitments may state that it is conditioned on the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of
the Commitments will be permanent and will be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 Section 2.09. Payment at Maturity; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date, for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of
such Lender’s Revolving Loans. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing
the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Interest Type thereof
and each Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts
maintained pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that any failure by any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender
(or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

 Section 2.10. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower will have the right at
any time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the provisions of this Section and Section 2.16. 
  

 29 

 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. If at any date the Total Outstanding Amount exceeds the Total
Commitment calculated as of such date, then not later than the next succeeding Business Day, the Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such excess until the Total Outstanding Amount does not exceed the Total
Commitment. 
 (c) Allocation of Prepayments. Before any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall
select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(f). 
 (d) Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted under Section 2.02(b) for a Borrowing of the same Interest Type, except as needed to apply
fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. 
 (e) Accrued Interest. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 or Section 2.13. 
 (f) Notice of Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or e-mail transmission) of any
prepayment of any Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than noon, Prevailing Eastern Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than
noon, Prevailing Eastern Time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory
prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
Section 2.08(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(c). Promptly after it receives any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of
the contents thereof. 
 Section 2.11. Change in Control. (a) If a Change in Control of the Borrower shall occur, the
Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the occurrence thereof, give the Administrative Agent notice thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances giving rise thereto and the date of such Change in Control and each Lender may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a “Termination Notice”) given not later than ten days after the date of such
Change of Control, terminate its Commitment, which shall be terminated, and declare any Loans made by it (together with accrued interest thereon) and any other amounts payable hereunder for its account to be, and such Loans and such amounts shall
become, due and payable, in each case on the day following delivery of such Termination Notice (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby waived by the Borrower. 
 (b) If the Commitment of any Lender is terminated pursuant to this Section at a time when any Swingline
Loan is outstanding, then (i) such Lender shall remain responsible to the Swingline Lender with respect to such Swingline Loan to the same extent as if its Commitment had not terminated and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender an
amount in immediately available funds (which funds shall be held as collateral pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Lender) equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Swingline Loan at such
time. 
  

 30 

 Section 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue during the Revolving Availability Period at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, during the period from and including the
Effective Date to the date on which such Commitment terminates. Such facility fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter in respect of the quarter then ending and on the earlier date on which the Commitment of
such Lender shall be terminated or assigned in whole. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent (to the extent applicable, for its own account, for the account of the Arranger and for the account of each Lender) on the Closing Date such fees as are specified in the letter between the Borrower and the Arranger dated
April 18, 2007. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and will be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed and shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees and utilization fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not
be refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall
bear interest for each day at the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest for each
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Each
Swingline Loan shall bear interest for each day at the rate per annum equal to (i) the rate determined by the Swingline Lender to be its cost of funds in respect of such Swingline Loan, plus (ii) plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar
Borrowings then in effect. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (A) in the case
of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate that otherwise would be applicable to such Loan as provided in the provisions of this Section or (B) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate; and (ii) upon notice
to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and continuing for so long as an Event of Default exists (but without duplication of the interest 

  

 31 

 
accruing pursuant to clause (i), above), interest on the Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus
the rate that otherwise would be applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section. 
 (e) Interest accrued on
each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.13(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) upon any
repayment of any Loan (except a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan before the end of the Revolving Availability Period), interest accrued on the principal amount repaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment and (iii) upon any
conversion of a Eurodollar Loan before the end of the current Interest Period there for, interest accrued on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (f) All interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at
times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate will be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). Each applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and its determination thereof will be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If before the beginning of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (i) the Dow Jones Telerate Service is no longer quoting rates for LIBO Rates and there is no substitute or successor thereto as provided
in Section 1.01, and if deposits in dollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered by KeyBank National Association in the London interbank market for such Interest Period; or 
 (ii) Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be included in such Borrowing advise the Administrative
Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, after giving effect to Section 2.15, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing will be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing will be made as a Base Rate Borrowing. 
  

 32 

 Section 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce
any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional cost incurred or
reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time
following receipt of the certificate referred to in subsection (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be rebuttably presumed to be correct. Each such certificate shall contain a representation and warranty on the part of the Lender to the
effect that such Lender has complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.19 hereof in an effort to eliminate or reduce such amount. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay by any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section will not constitute a waiver of its
right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days before it notifies the Borrower of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of its intention to claim compensation therefor. However, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above will
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 2.16. Break Funding Payments. If (a) any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan is repaid on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) any Eurodollar Loan is converted on a day 

  

 33 

 
other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on
the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) any Eurodollar Loan is assigned on a day other than the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for its loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost and expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had
such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the end of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, the Interest Period that would have begun on the date of such failure), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at
the beginning of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.17. Taxes. (a) All payments by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable will be increased as necessary
so that, after all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) are made, each relevant Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender Party, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Lender Party with respect to any payment by or obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (unless such penalties, interest or expenses arise by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender), 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 any such payment delivered to the Borrower by a Lender Party on its own behalf, or by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Borrower has indemnified any Lender Party pursuant to this 

  

 34 

 
Section 2.17(c), such Lender Party shall take such steps as the Borrower shall reasonably request (at the Borrower’s expense) to assist the
Borrower in recovering the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and any penalties or interest attributable thereto; provided that no Lender Party shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) unless, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender Party, such action (i) would not subject such Lender Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender Party. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after the Borrower pays any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes 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) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the laws of the
United States, or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. If any such Foreign Lender becomes subject to any
Tax because it fails to comply with this subsection as and when prescribed by applicable law, the Borrower shall take such steps (at such Foreign Lender’s expense) as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Lender to
recover such Tax. 
 (f) The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.

 Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each
payment required to be made by it under the Loan Documents (whether of principal, interest or fees, or amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17(c) or otherwise) before the time expressly required under the relevant Loan Document for
such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, before noon, Prevailing Eastern Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amount received after such time on any day may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 127 Public
Square, 6th Floor, Cleveland, Ohio 44114 (or such other address as may from time to time be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower in writing), except payments to be made directly to the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein
and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent
shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly alter receipt thereof. Unless otherwise specified herein, if any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is
not a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, if such payment accrues interest, interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be
made in dollars. 
  

 35 

 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay
fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and
fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the amounts of principal then due. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or any of its participations in Swingline Loans
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the
amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless, before the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of one
or more Lender Parties hereunder, the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower notice 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 on such assumption, distribute to each relevant Lender Party the amount due to it. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, each Lender Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the day such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the day it repays the Administrative Agent, at the greater of
the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter 

  

 36 

 
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.19. Lender’s Obligation to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or eliminate the amount of such compensation or additional amount, including without limitation, by designating a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or by assigning its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates; provided that no Lender shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.19(a) unless, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment or other action (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
(iii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
participations in Swingline Loans) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Swingline Lender), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal
of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a
material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment cease to apply.

requested, but, other than in exigent circumstances, taking into account periodic accounting and regulatory compliance demands on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
  

 49

be sold or transferred by the Borrower or such Material Subsidiary to such Person or to any other Person (other than the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries), to which funds have been or are to be advanced by such Person on the security of
the property subject to such lease (a “Sale-Leaseback Transaction”) if, after giving effect thereto, the Value (as defined below) of all Sale/Leaseback Transactions at such time would exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the
Borrower at such time. For purposes of this Section 6.07, “Value” shall mean, with respect to any Sale-Leaseback Transaction as at any time, the amount equal to the greater of (a) the net proceeds of the sale or transfer
of the property subject to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction and (b) the fair value, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Borrower of such property at the time of entering into such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, in either case divided
first by the number of full years of the term of the lease and then multiplied by the number of full years of such term remaining at the time of determination, without regard to any renewal or extension options contained in such lease; provided
that all obligations under such sale-leaseback agreements shall constitute Debt for purposes of calculating compliance with the covenants set forth in this Article 6.

director, officer or employee of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries and receive reasonable compensation for his or her services in such capacity, (ii) the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries may enter into transactions (other
than extensions of credit by the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries to an Affiliate) providing for the leasing of property, the rendering or receipt of services or the purchase or sale of inventory and other property in the ordinary course
of business if the monetary or business consideration arising therefrom would be substantially as advantageous to the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries as the monetary or business consideration that would obtain in a comparable transaction with
a Person not an Affiliate (or in the case of any management agreement and Intercompany Pooling Arrangement among State Auto Mutual, the Borrower and various Insurance Subsidiaries, that is approved by the Applicable Insurance Regulatory
Authorities), and (iii) nothing in this Section 6.09 shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict (A) the making of Restricted Payments by a Subsidiary to, as the case may be, the Borrower or the Subsidiary that is its immediate parent or
(B) Investments permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(a)(iv) and Section 6.04(a)(viii).

and conditions imposed by law or by any Loan Document, (ii) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions existing on the date hereof and identified on Schedule 6.10 (but shall apply to any amendment or modification expanding the
scope of, or any extension or renewal of, any such restriction or condition), (iii) the foregoing shall not apply to customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of a Subsidiary pending such sale,

agreement relating to secured Debt permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property securing such Debt and (v) clause (a) of this Section shall not apply to customary provisions in leases and other
contracts restricting the assignment thereof. 
 Section 6.11. Ratio of Debt to Capital. The Borrower shall not at any time
permit the ratio of its Consolidated Debt (of the type described in any or all of clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (h) of the definition of “Debt”) to its Total Capitalization to be greater than 0.35 to 1. 
 Section 6.12. Consolidated Net Worth. The Borrower shall not permit its Consolidated Net Worth (i) as of the end of the Fiscal Quarter
ending June 30, 2007, to be less than $688,160,000 and (ii) as of the end of any Fiscal Quarter thereafter, to be less than an amount equal to (a) the Fiscal Quarter Increase for the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter, plus

Administrative Agent (with the approval of the Required Lenders, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), (i) the Intercompany Pooling Arrangement if such modification, supplement or waiver would result in the ceding to State Auto Mutual
of 70% or more of the catastrophic loss risk subject to such arrangement or (ii) the terms and conditions evidencing or governing the Placed Debt. 
 Section 6.14. Lines of Business. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage to any substantial extent in any line or lines of business activity other than the business

Debt to be accelerated or would permit termination of such commitments, as applicable, only after the lapse of a cure period, so long as the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent immediately upon occurrence of such event, such event shall
give rise to an Event of Default hereunder upon expiration of such cure period; 
 (h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an
involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state or foreign

a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 30 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered; 
 (i) the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation,
reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any

different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared
to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued
hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are waived by the Borrower; and in the case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or
(i) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become

 ARTICLE 8

 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Section 8.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender Party irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
  

 59 

 Section 8.02. Rights and Powers as a Lender. The Administrative Agent shall, in its capacity
as a Lender, have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 Section 8.03. Limited Duties and Responsibilities. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, or
be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by 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 with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and
the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.04. Authority to Rely on Certain Writings, Statements
and Advice. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not incur any liability for relying on, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely on any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any
such counsel, accountants or experts. 
  

 60 

 Section 8.05. Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and
all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections 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 activities in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 Section 8.06. Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and
the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent; provided that consultation with the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing. If no successor Administrative Agent 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, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank or financial institution. Upon acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 Section 8.07. Credit Decisions by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party
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 on this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 8.08. Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon by the Borrower and such Agent. 
  

 61 

 Section 8.09 Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Etc.. Neither the Lead Arranger nor the
Sole Book Runner in their capacities as such shall have any duties or responsibilities or incur any liability under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 8.10 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot
Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other anti-terrorism law, including any programs involving any of the following
items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrower, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any
record keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 9.01. Notices. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and
shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows: 
 (a) if to
the Borrower, to it at 518 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215, Attention of General Counsel (Facsimile No. (614) 719-0740); 
 (b)
if to the Administrative Agent or to the Swingline Lender, to KeyBank National Association, 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114, Attention of Mary K. Young (Facsimile No. (216) 689-4981); and 
 (c) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 
 Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Lender Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are 

  

 62 

 
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Lender Party had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) No Loan Document or provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, by an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the parties thereto with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall: 
 (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without its written consent; 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fee payable hereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender Party affected thereby; 
 (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or the required date of any
mandatory payment of principal (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2.10(b), or any date for the payment of any interest or fee payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender Party affected thereby; 
 (iv) change the
definition of “Percentage” or change Section 2.18(b) or 2.18(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (v) change any provision of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other
provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to take any action thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; or 
 (vi) increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an amount in excess of $100,000,000, or amend Section 2.05(c) to permit
increases in the aggregate Commitments in excess of an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000, in each case during the term of this Agreement, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (it being understood that
an increase in the Commitment of any Lender is subject to clause (i) above); and 
 provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify
or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender without its prior written consent; and provided further that neither a reduction or termination of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.11,
nor an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05, constitutes an amendment, waiver or modification for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
  

 63 

 (c) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, from time to time promulgate revised,
replacement Schedules 2.01 (which, upon such promulgation, absent manifest error, shall become Schedule 2.01 hereto) to reflect changes in the parties constituting the Lenders and their respective Commitments pursuant to Assignments and
Section 2.05, in each instance without the necessity of the agreement of the Borrower and the Required Lenders. 
 Section 9.03.
Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P., special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation
and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by any Lender Party, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender Party, in connection with the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(b), the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with the Loan Documents (including its rights under this Section) or the Loans, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify each of the Lender Parties and their respective Related Parties (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 counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan
Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Financing Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence
or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that (i) such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) such indemnity shall not
be available to any Indemnitee for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a proceeding in which such indemnitee and the Borrower are adverse parties to the extent that the Borrower prevails on the merits, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a claim or suit by the Borrower against any Indemnitee for such Indemnitee’s failure to perform any of its obligations to the
Borrower under the Loan Documents); (iii) the Borrower shall not, in connection with any such proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction and in the absence of conflicts of interest, 

  

 64 

 
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one law firm at any one time for the Indemnitees (which law firm shall be selected (x) by mutual
agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or (y) if no such agreement has been reached following the Administrative Agent’s good faith consultation with the Borrower with respect thereto, by the Administrative Agent in its
sole discretion); (iv) each Indemnitee shall give the Borrower (x) prompt notice of any such action brought against such Indemnitee in connection with a claim for which it is entitled to indemnity under this Section and (y) an
opportunity to consult from time to time with such indemnitee regarding defensive measures and potential settlement; and (v) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the amount of any settlement entered into without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) 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 such Agent or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based on its share of the sum of the total Exposures and unused Commitments
at the time. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and it hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Financing Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall
be payable within five Business Days after written demand therefor. 
 Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (except the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Related Parties of the Lender Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of any Commitment it has at the time and any Loans at the time owing to it); provided that: 
 (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Commitment or any Lender’s
obligations in respect of its 

  

 65 

 
Swingline Exposure, and the Swingline Lender) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld);

 (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; 
 (iii) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the relevant Assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, and the
remaining Commitment or Loans, if any, of the assigning Lender shall not be less than $5,000,000; provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans; 
 (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to more than one Lender Affiliate; and 
 (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed Administrative Questionnaire;

 and provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this subsection shall not be required if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, 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, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). 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 (e) of this Section. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent,
acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Cleveland, Ohio a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their respective
Commitments and the principal amounts of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the parties hereto
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any party hereto at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

 66 

 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), any processing and recordation fee referred to in, and payable pursuant to, subsection (b) of this Section and any written consent
to such assignment required by subsection (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection. 
 (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any
other Lender Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and
the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the other Lender Parties 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 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 9.09 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 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 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g) Any Lender may at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto. 
  

 67 

 Section 9.05. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an
affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or
foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot
Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act. 
 Section 9.06. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and in
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any principal of or accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder is outstanding and unpaid or any Commitment has not expired or
terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Financing Transactions, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 9.07. Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement (i) will become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have signed this Agreement and received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(a) deposit any of such Subject Securities into a voting trust or (b) except for this Agreement, grant a proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement that could restrict or
otherwise affect its legal power, authority and right to vote any of such Subject Securities. 
 2.3 Permitted Transfers.
Notwithstanding Sections 2.1 or 2.2, prior to such time, if it occurs, as MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners L.P., MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners (Bermuda) L.P. and MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities
Partners B.L.P. (collectively “MP”) shall enter into this Agreement as Stockholders and as a holder of beneficial interests in the HMP Trust and through the Voting Covenant Expiration Date, the Stockholders and the Voting Agent may
transfer any Subject Securities if (i) the proposed transferee thereof enters into this Agreement as a Stockholder (which shall be a valid and binding obligation of and enforceable against such transferee) as if an original signatory hereto
agreeing to be bound by the joint covenant and grant of proxy herein with respect to the Subject Securities so Transferred (for the avoidance of doubt, the transferee will not be required to comply with this Agreement with respect to any Company
Common Stock other than such Subject Securities), (ii) the proposed Transfer shall not result in or constitute (A) an assignment of Huntsman Corporation’s rights and obligations under Section 12.4 of the Purchase and Sales
Agreement, dated March 23, 1994, by and among Texaco, Inc., Texaco Limited, Texaco Overseas Holdings Inc., Texaco Chemical Company and Huntsman Corporation or (B) an assignment of Huntsman Specialty Chemical Corporation’s rights and

 3 

 
and Sale Agreement, dated March 21, 1997, by and among Texaco Inc., Texaco Chemical Inc. and Huntsman Specialty Chemicals Corporation, and
(iii) each such Transfer shall be effected in a manner that complies with Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). From and after such time as MP executes a voting agreement
pursuant to which MP, among other things, agrees to vote shares of stock of the Company beneficially owned by it and its Affiliates in favor of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and until the Voting Covenant
Expiration Date, (x) the Stockholders may transfer Subject Securities without limitation or restriction on the transferee (each such transferee is referred to as an “Unrestricted Transferee” and the securities so Transferred
are referred to as “Unrestricted Shares”) provided that after each such Transfer, the Stockholders and the HMP Trust collectively beneficially own at least the majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock on a fully diluted basis (as determined at the time of such Transfer) entitled to vote at the meeting of the stockholders of the Company in respect of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (provided that,
for purposes of this clause (x), any shares of stock of the Company that are currently beneficially owned by the HMP Trust are the subject of a demand registration notice served on the Company by a stockholder of the Company or are otherwise
registered by the Company shall no longer be deemed to be beneficially owned by the HMP Trust on the earlier of (1) the date on which any such demand or similar notice is served upon the Company (until such time, if any, as such demand is
withdrawn) and (2) the date on which any such registration statement becomes effective), and (y) the Stockholders (and any transferee of Subject Securities that is not an Unrestricted Transferee) may Transfer shares of Company Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Stockholders (or such transferee) that are subject to the terms of this Agreement on the date hereof; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to each such proposed Transfer, the number of Subject
Securities which remain subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Transferred securities as to which the transferee has complied with (ii) below) shall represent not less than a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (as determined at the time of such Transfer) entitled to vote at the meeting of the stockholders of the Company in respect of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby,
(ii) the proposed transferee thereof enters into this Agreement as a Stockholder (which shall be a valid and binding obligation of and enforceable against such transferee) as if an original signatory hereto agreeing to be bound by the voting
covenant and grant of proxy herein with respect to such Transferred Company Common Stock (for the avoidance of doubt, the transferee will not be required to comply with this Agreement with respect to any Company Common Stock other than such
Transferred Company Common Stock), (iii) the proposed Transfer shall not result in or constitute (A) an assignment of Huntsman Corporation’s rights and obligations under Section 12.4 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated
March 23, 1994, by and among Texaco, Inc., Texaco Limited, Texaco Overseas Holdings Inc., Texaco Chemical Company and Huntsman Corporation or (B) an assignment of Huntsman Specialty Chemical Corporation’s rights and obligations under
Section 10.4(b) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated March 21, 1997, by and among Texaco Inc., Texaco Chemical Inc. and Huntsman Specialty Chemicals Corporation and (iv) each such Transfer shall be effected in a manner that
complies with Section 202 of the DGCL. Any proposed Transfer made in violation of the terms and conditions of this Voting Agreement shall be null and void and shall be of no force or effect.

(2) suffer a loss of economic value or (3) commence any litigation or other proceeding) to cause the Trust Shares beneficially owned by the Voting Agent to be voted as follows): 
 (a) in favor of approval of the Merger, and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof, in favor of each of
the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and in favor of any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; and 
 (b) against any Competing Proposal and against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or impair the ability of the Company to
consummate the Merger or that would otherwise be inconsistent with, prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions. 
 3.2
Proxy.

in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company (if then permitted): 
 (i) in favor of
approval of the Merger, and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof and in favor of each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and in favor of any action recommended by the Board of Directors in
furtherance of any of the foregoing; and 
  

 5 

 (ii) against any Competing Proposal and against any action or agreement that Parent has
advised the Stockholders in writing in advance would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or impair the ability of the Company to consummate the Merger or that would
otherwise be inconsistent with, prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions. 
 (d) The Stockholders and the
Voting Agent may vote the Subject Securities on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters provided that this does not have the effect or

 8.3 Severability. Any term or
provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or
provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such
determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, then this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to
replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business, legal and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

 8.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement and any other documents
and instruments referred to herein or therein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 8.5 Assignment; Binding Effect. Except as expressly permitted herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the interests or obligations hereunder may
be assigned or delegated by any of the Stockholders or the Voting Agent, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be
binding upon each of the Stockholders and the Voting Agent and their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Parent and its successors and assigns. Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Article II or Article VI or
elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon any Person (other than any Unrestricted Transferee) to whom any Subject Securities (other than the Trust Shares) are Transferred or otherwise conveyed. Nothing in this Agreement is
intended to confer on any Person (other than Parent and its successors and assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature. 
 8.6 Specific
Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each of the Stockholders and the
Voting Agent agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by such Stockholder or the Voting Agent of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be
available to it, including monetary damages) to seek and obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or
threatened breach. Each of the Stockholders and the Voting Agent further agrees that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining
any remedy referred to in this Section 8.6, and each of the Stockholders and the Voting Agent irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. 
 8.7 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Parent under this Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which
it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of Parent under this Agreement, and the obligations
and liabilities of the Stockholders and the Voting Agent under this Agreement, are in addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under all applicable Laws. 
 8.8 Governing Law; Venue.

HEARD AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY SUCH A DELAWARE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF
PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 8.2 OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF. 
 (c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND
DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO

 8.12 Waiver. No failure on the part of Parent to exercise any power,
right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or
partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent arising
out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf
of Parent; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company.

in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
