 (h) LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association with offices at 135 South
LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, as Issuing Bank; in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and benefits to be derived herefrom, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 Background: 
 A. Amendment. On October 11, 2007, the parties
hereto entered into that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement. The parties hereto desire to further amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 B. Waiver. In addition, the Lead Borrower has advised the Administrative Agent that the Borrowers have exceeded the financial performance covenant
which establishes the limitation on capital expenditures, as set forth in Paragraph 2 on Exhibit M to the Credit Agreement (the “Capex Covenant”), in that the existing limit provides that “The Loan Parties shall not make or
incur Capital Expenditures in any Fiscal year in excess of $17,500,000.00’, and the actual Capital Expenditures, based upon preliminary financial data through the date hereof, are currently estimated to be approximately $18,000,000.00 as of
this date (the “Existing Default”). The Lead Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders waive the Existing Default, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to do so, on the terms and
conditions set forth herein. 
 Accordingly, it is hereby agreed, as follows: 
  

	1.	Amendment to Credit Agreement: Subject to satisfaction of each and all of the Preconditions to Effectiveness set forth in Section 2, below, the Credit Agreement is
amended, as follows: 

  

	 	a.	By deleting the definition of “SOF Investments Loan” in its entirety and substituting the following in its place: 

 “SOF Investments Loan” means the term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $61,000,000 made by SOF Investments to the Borrowers,
the terms of which are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  

	 	b.	By deleting Paragraph 2 on Exhibit M to the Credit Agreement in its entirety and substituting the following in its place: 

 2. Capital Expenditures. The Loan Parties shall not make or incur Capital Expenditures: 
 (a) For the Fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, in excess of $25,000,000.00; 
  

 -2- 

 (b) For the Fiscal year commencing January 1, 2008 and thereafter, in any Fiscal year in excess
of $17,500,000.00; and 
 (c) For any Fiscal quarter, in excess of $5,000,000.00. 
  

	2.	Waiver of Existing Default. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby waive the Existing Default effective as of November 26, 2007, subject to the following:

  

	 	a.	The waiver of the Existing Default is a one-time waiver, and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any other similar circumstance, nor a waiver of any other
Event of Default, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including without limitation, on account of the breach of any other provision of the Credit Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	The limited waiver granted herein is made in reliance upon the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, and agreements of the Borrowers set forth in Section 4, below.

  

	3.	Preconditions to Effectiveness. This Second Amendment shall not take effect unless and until each and all of the following items has been satisfied or delivered, as the case
may be, and in all events, to the satisfaction of the Agents, in their sole and exclusive discretion. The willingness of the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Second Amendment is expressly conditioned upon the prior receipt by the
Administrative Agent of the following items: 

  

	 	a.	The Lead Borrower, the Borrowers, and the Facility Guarantors shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a duly executed copy of this Second Amendment.

  

	 	b.	The Lead Borrower, the Borrowers, and the Facility Guarantors shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such other and further documents as the Administrative Agent
reasonably may require and shall have identified prior to the execution of this Second Amendment, in order to confirm and implement the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment, including without limitation, a corresponding waiver of the
Existing Default by SOF Investments. 

  

	 	c.	The Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an amendment and waiver fee in the amount of $25,000.00. In this regard, the waiver
and amendment fee shall be fully earned as of the date of execution of this Second Amendment, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to make a Revolving Credit Loan under the Credit Agreement to pay the waiver and amendment fee.

  

 -3- 

	4.	Ratification of Loan Documents. No Claims against the Lender: 

  

	 	a.	Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and of each of the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies,
confirms, and re-affirms all terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. 

  

	 	b.	Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lender that as of the date of this Second Amendment, other than with respect to items which remain outstanding under the Post Closing
Letter dated July 2, 2007, no Event of Default exists, or solely with the passage of time or notice, would exist under the Loan Documents. 

  

	 	c.	Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that to its actual knowledge (i) there is no basis nor set of facts on which any amount (or any portion thereof) owed by any of the Loan
Parties under any Loan Document could be reduced, offset, waived, or forgiven, by rescission or otherwise; (ii) nor is there any claim, counterclaim, off set, or defense (or other right, remedy, or basis having a similar effect) available to
any of the Loan Parties with regard thereto; (iii) nor is there any basis on which the terms and conditions of any of the Obligations could be claimed to be other than as stated on the written instruments which evidence such Obligations.

  

	5.	Miscellaneous: 

  

	 	a.	Terms used in this Second Amendment which are defined in the Credit Agreement are used as so defined. 

  

	 	b.	This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one agreement.

  

	 	c.	This Second Amendment expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. No prior negotiations or discussions shall limit,
modify, or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. 

  

	 	d.	Any determination that any provision of this Second Amendment or any application hereof is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect and in any instance shall not affect the
validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other instance, or the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provisions of this Second Amendment. 

  

 -4- 

	 	e.	The Borrowers shall pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Agents in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Second Amendment. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to make one or more Revolving Credit Loans to pay all such costs, expenses, and
attorneys’ fees and expenses. 

  

	 	f.	In connection with the interpretation of this Second Amendment and all other documents, instruments, and agreements incidental hereto: 

  

	 	i.	All rights and obligations hereunder and thereunder, including matters of construction, validity, and performance, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and are intended to take effect as sealed instruments. 

  

	 	ii.	The captions of this Second Amendment are for convenience purposes only, and shall not be used in construing the intent of the parties under this Second Amendment.

  

	 	iii.	In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Second Amendment and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Second Amendment shall govern and
control. 

  

	 	g.	The Agents, the Lenders, the Borrowers, and the Facility Guarantors have prepared this Second Amendment and all documents, instruments, and agreements incidental hereto with the aid
and assistance of their respective counsel. Accordingly, all of them shall be deemed to have been drafted by the Agents, the Lenders, the Borrowers, and the Facility Guarantors and shall not be construed against any party.

“$” or “dollars” or to amounts of money shall be deemed to be references to the lawful currency of the United States of America, and (h) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiation among, and
have been reviewed by counsel to, among others, the Borrower and the Agents and are the product of discussions and negotiations among all parties. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are not intended to be construed against the
Agents or any of the Lenders merely on account of the Agents’ or any Lender’s involvement in the preparation of such documents. 
 SECTION 1.03 Accounting Terms; GAAP. 
 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or
financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect on the Closing Date; provided however, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to
reflect the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any
provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately
before such change shall have become effective until such provision shall have been amended in accordance herewith. 
 ARTICLE II 

Amount and Terms of Credit 
 SECTION 2.01 Loans. 
 Each Lender, severally and not jointly with any other Lender, agrees, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions herein set forth, to make a Loan to, or for the benefit of, the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Loans will be made in one drawing on the Closing Date in an aggregate
principal amount of $41,000,000. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not at any time 

  

 - 26 - 

 
exceed the Total Commitments. Each repayment of principal of the Loans shall reduce the Total Commitments by the amount of such principal repayment and shall
reduce the Commitments of the Lenders pro rata in proportion to the amount of the repayment received by each Lender. 
 SECTION 2.02
Making of Loans. 
 Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to
make such Loan; provided however, that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Note. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall
policy considerations, use reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated) to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.06. 
 SECTION 2.03 Notes. 
 (a) The Loans
made by each Lender shall be evidenced by Notes, duly executed on behalf of the Borrower, dated the Closing Date, payable to the order of such Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. 
 (b) Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower to endorse on a schedule attached to each Note delivered to such Lender (or on a continuation of
such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of
principal of any such Loan, each payment of interest on any such Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided however, that the failure of any Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Notes. 
 (c) Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note
in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor. 
 SECTION 2.04 Mandatory Principal and
Interest Payments on Loans. 
 (a) Loans. 
  

	 	(i)	Subject to SECTION 2.05, each Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum that shall be equal
to the Interest Rate compounding quarterly. 

  

	 	(ii)	Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in cash at maturity (whether
by acceleration or otherwise), after such maturity on demand and upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid). 

  

 - 27 - 

	 	(iii)	In addition to interest payments required to be made hereunder, and subject to the Administrative Agent’s rights of acceleration hereunder, the full unpaid principal balance of
the Loans, including any interest paid-in-kind, if any, shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. 

 SECTION 2.05
Default Interest. 
 After the occurrence of any Default which remains unremedied for twenty (20) days and at all times
thereafter while such Default remains unremedied, interest shall accrue on all outstanding Loans including on any interest paid-in-kind, if any, that has been added to the principal amount of the Loan (after as well as before judgment, as and to the
extent permitted by law) at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to the Interest Rate in effect from time to time plus five percent (5 %) per annum and such interest shall be payable in cash on each Interest Payment Date (or
any earlier maturity of the Loans). In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late fee equal to 5% of any amount that is past due for more than fifteen (15) days. 
 SECTION 2.06 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 or
any holding company of any Lender; or 

  

	 	(ii)	impose on any Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs 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 the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this SECTION 2.06 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such 

  

 - 28 - 

 
amount or amounts were determined 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 fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part
of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this SECTION 2.06 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 
 SECTION 2.07 Optional Prepayment of Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders. 
 (a) Except as provided in
SECTION 2.07(b), the Borrower shall have the right to prepay any outstanding Loans, in whole or part, upon at least three (3) Business Day’s prior written notice, telex or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent, prior to 5 p.m., New
York time. 
 (b) Prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date the Borrower may not make any prepayment; provided that the
Borrower may prepay the outstanding Loans in their entirety if such prepayment is accompanied by a Make-Whole Payment. After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any prepayment shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to three
percent (3%) of the amount prepaid. 
 (c) Any prepayment made pursuant to this SECTION 2.07 shall be subject to the following
limitations: 
  

	 	(i)	All prepayments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application to the prepayment of outstanding Loans ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage;
and 

  

	 	(ii)	Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall commit the
Borrower to prepay such Loan by the amount and on the date stated therein. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which
are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment. 

 (d) In the event the Borrower fails
to prepay the Loans on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to SECTION 2.07(a), the Borrower, on demand by any Lender, shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, any amounts required to
compensate such Lender for any loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay. Any Lender demanding such payment shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as
determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined. 
  

 - 29 - 

 SECTION 2.08 Mandatory Prepayment; Commitment Termination. 
 The outstanding Obligations shall be subject to prepayment as follows: 
 (a) The Borrower shall, subject to the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement, apply all Net Proceeds and all other cash payments received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any Person or from any source on
account of any Prepayment Event to prepay the Loans. All prepayments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application to the prepayment of outstanding Loans, including any interest paid-in-kind, if any, ratably in accordance with each
applicable Lender’s Commitment Percentage. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower will make an offer (a
“Change of Control Offer”) to the Lenders to repurchase the Loans at a purchase price in cash equal to one hundred and six percent (106%) of (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding plus
(y) accrued and unpaid interest, including any interest paid-in-kind, if any (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within five (5) Business Days following any Change of Control, the Borrower will provide irrevocable notice to
the Administrative Agent describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no later than five (5) Business Days from the date such notice is
given (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of the Loans of each Lender
that has accepted the Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 2.08(b) to the contrary, the Change of Control Offer shall not apply to the consummation of the SPAC Transaction on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 SECTION 2.09 Additional Interest. 
 (a) On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent non- refundable additional interest in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Total Commitment on such date (“Additional
Interest”). 
 (b) All Additional Interest shall be paid on the date due, in immediately available funds, to the Lender. Once due,
all Additional Interest shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.10 Maintenance of Loan
Account; Statements of Account. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrower (the
“Loan Account”) which will reflect (i) all Loans and other advances made by the Lenders to the Borrower or for the Borrower’s account and (ii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable.

 (b) The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or from others for the
Borrower’s account. After the end of each month, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Borrower a statement accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrower during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, be an account stated, which is final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower. 
  

 - 30 - 

 SECTION 2.11 Payments. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, of
amounts payable under SECTION 2.06, SECTION 2.07(d) or SECTION 2.13, or otherwise) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any
date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Until such time as an Administrative Agent shall be appointed hereunder, all
such payments shall be made to the Lender at the address listed on the signature pages hereto; provided that in the event that an Administrative Agent is appointed hereunder, then such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s address as listed in the agreement appointing such Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to SECTION 2.06, SECTION 2.07(d), SECTION 2.13 and SECTION 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 payments to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan
Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) All funds received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 7.03 hereof, as applicable, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest,
and fees then due to such respective parties. Any net principal reductions to the Loans received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents during such period shall not reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of
calculating interest due to that Lender, until the Administrative Agent has distributed to that Lender its applicable Commitment Percentage thereof. 
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders hereunder, that the Borrower
will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at an interest rate that is usual and customary for syndicated financings to be agreed between the Administrative Agent and such Lender. 

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

 - 31 - 

 SECTION 2.12 Settlement Amongst Lenders. 
 The amount of each Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative
Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted based on all Loans and repayments of Loans received by the Administrative Agent as of 5 p.m., New York time, on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the
end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.13 Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear
of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided however, that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct, or an Agent or a Lender shall be required to remit, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or remittances for Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.13) the applicable Credit
Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten (10) days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.13) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party 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 in withholding tax shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming 

  

 - 32 - 

 
exemption from or reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio
interest”, a (i) Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto and (ii) if such Foreign Lender delivers a Form W-8BEN, a certificate representing that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank for purposes of
Section 881(c) of the Code, (B) is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Loan Party and (C) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Loan Parties (within the
meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming, as applicable, complete exemption from or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Loan Parties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption for “portfolio interest” certifying that it is not a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. Such forms shall be delivered by each
Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if
any, such Foreign Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or
invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this SECTION 2.13(e), a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this SECTION 2.13(e)that such Foreign Lender is
not legally able to deliver. 
 (f) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Lender or to pay any additional amounts to
any Foreign Lender in respect of U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Lender to comply
with the provisions of paragraph (e) above. Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall, at such Lender’s expense, take such steps as such Lender shall
reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. 
 (g) If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this SECTION 2.13 to
pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Credit Party to the extent that such Credit Party becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as
a result of any change in the circumstances of such Credit Party (other than a change in Applicable Law), including without limitation a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Credit Party or a change in
the branch or lending office of such Credit Party, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.13(g); provided however,
that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Credit Party that would result in any tax, costs or other expense to such Credit Party (other than a tax, cost or other expense for which such Credit Party shall have been
reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Credit Party have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party. 
  

 - 33 - 

 (h) If any Credit Party reasonably determines that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a
refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under the Loan Documents, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained
and that would result in the total payments under this SECTION 2.13 exceeding the amount needed to make such Credit Party whole, such Credit Party shall pay to the Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date upon which it actually
realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out of pocket expenses incurred in securing such refund, deduction or credit. 
 SECTION 2.14 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.06, 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
2.13, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.06 or SECTION 2.13, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided
however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Closing Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law
occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.06, 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 2.13, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 9.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided however, that (i) the Borrower shall have received
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its 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 2.06 or payments required to be made pursuant to SECTION 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
  

 - 34 - 

 SECTION 2.15 Security Interests in Collateral. 
 To secure their Obligations, the Loan Parties shall grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Credit Parties, a
second priority security interest in all of the Collateral pursuant hereto and to the Security Documents.

powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, membership, partnership or other necessary action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party hereto or thereto and constitutes, and each
other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. 
 The transactions to be entered into and contemplated by the Loan Documents (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except

 The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Agents the consolidated balance sheet, and statements of income, stockholders’ equity,

adjustments and the absence of footnotes. Since the date of such financial statements, there have been no changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than changes in the ordinary
course of business which have not had a Material Adverse Effect.

its business, and the use thereof by the Loan Parties does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Loan Party expects that any of the matters listed on Schedule 3.05(b) will have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c)
Schedule 3.05(c)(i) sets forth the address (including county) of all Real Estate that is owned by the Loan Parties as of the Closing Date, together with a list of the holders of any mortgage or other Lien thereon. Schedule 3.05(c)(ii)

such Leases is in full force and effect and the Loan Parties are not in default of the terms thereof except for any defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. 
 (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the 

  

 - 36 - 

 
Loan Parties, threatened in writing against or affecting any Loan Party or any Subsidiary as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than Disclosed Matters). 
 (b) Except for Disclosed Matters, no Loan Party (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any
permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any
basis for any Environmental Liability, which, in each case, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no material change in the status of the Disclosed Matters. 
 SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. 
 Except as set forth on Schedule 3.07, each Loan Party and each
Subsidiary thereof is in compliance with all Applicable Law, all agreements relating to Material Indebtedness, and all Material Agreements binding upon it or its property, and no default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, except in each case

thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be

returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the
recovery of the excess payment.

 Upon any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, waiver, election or other action on the part of the Applicable Lenders, action shall be
taken by the Administrative Agent, for and on behalf or for the benefit of all Credit Parties upon the direction of the Applicable Lenders, and any such action shall be binding on all Credit Parties. No amendment, modification, consent, or waiver

 SECTION 8.05 Liability of Agents. 
 (a) The Agents, when acting on behalf of the Credit Parties, may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement by or through any of its

for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment, or for any loss, except to the extent of any liability imposed by law by reason of such Agent’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No Agent or its respective
directors, officers, agents and employees shall in any event be liable to any other Credit Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it pursuant to instructions received by it from the Applicable Lenders, or in reliance upon the advice of
counsel selected by it. Without limiting the foregoing, no Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be: (i) responsible to any other Credit Party for the due execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness,
sufficiency, or enforceability of, or for any recital, statement, warranty or representation in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement, document or order; (ii) required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning
the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, or agreements of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; (iii) responsible to any other Credit Party for the state or condition of any properties

of the failure or delay in performance or breach by any other Credit Party (other than by each such Agent in its capacity as a Lender) of any of its respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in connection
herewith or therewith. 
  

 - 61 - 

 (d) The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing believed by them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without,
limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by any Loan Party or any Credit Party. The Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document unless they shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Applicable Lenders as it deems appropriate or they shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the other Credit Parties against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by them by reason of the taking or failing to take any such action. 
 SECTION 8.06 Notice of Default. 
 No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has actual knowledge of the
same or has received notice from a Credit Party or Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that an Agent obtains such actual
knowledge or receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the other Credit Parties. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall (subject to the provisions of SECTION 9.02) take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Applicable Lenders. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to comply
with any such directions to the extent that the Administrative Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful. 
 SECTION 8.07 Credit Decisions. 
 Each Credit Party (other than the Agents) acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agents or any other Credit Party, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Loan Parties and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into
the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of the Loan Parties and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Credit Party (other than the Agents) also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Credit Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not
conditions precedent to closing any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  

 - 62 - 

 SECTION 8.08 Reimbursement and Indemnification. 
 Each Credit Party (other than the Agents) agrees to (i) reimburse the Agents for such Credit Party’s applicable Commitment Percentage of
(x) any expenses and fees incurred by any Agent for the benefit of Credit Parties under this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services
rendered on behalf of the Credit Parties, and any other expense incurred in connection with the operations or enforcement thereof not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and (y) any expenses of any Agent incurred for the benefit of the Credit
Parties that the Loan Parties have agreed to reimburse pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and have failed to so reimburse and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents, on demand, in the amount of such Credit Party’s applicable Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any Credit Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties, including, without limitation, costs of any suit initiated by each Agent against any Credit Party (except such as shall have been determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent); provided however, 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 Credit Party in its capacity as such. The provisions of this SECTION 8.08 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of
the Commitments. 
 SECTION 8.09 Rights of Agents. 
 It is understood and agreed that the Agents shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as
their rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which they are or may be party, and engage in other transactions with the Loan Parties, as though they were not the Agents. Each Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Loan Parties and their Affiliates as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.10 Notice of Transfer. 
 The Administrative Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Obligations for all purposes, unless and until, and except to the extent, an Assignment and Acceptance shall have

 SECTION 8.11 Successor Agents. 
 Any Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) Business Days’ written notice thereof to the other Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon
any such resignation of an Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which, so long as there is no 

  

 - 63 - 

 
Event of Default under SECTION 7.01(g), SECTION 7.01(h), SECTION 7.01(i), or SECTION 7.0l(j), shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower (whose consent
in any event shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and/or none shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s
giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the other Credit Parties, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a Person capable of complying with all of the duties of such Agent hereunder (in the opinion of the retiring
Agent and as certified to the other Credit Parties in writing by such successor Agent) which, so long as there is no Event of Default under SECTION 7.0l(g), SECTION 7.0l(h), SECTION 7.0l(i), or SECTION 7.0l(j), shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the Borrower (whose consent shall not in any event be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as such Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE
VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement. 
 SECTION
8.12 Relation Among the Lenders. 
 The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or
omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of any Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. 
 SECTION 8.13
Reports and Financial Statements. 
 By signing this Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a) agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent on the first day of each month with a summary of all Other Liabilities due or to become due

become available, copies of all financial statements required to be delivered by the Borrower hereunder and all commercial finance examinations received by the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Reports”); 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the
Reports and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 (d) expressly agrees and
acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Administrative Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely
significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel; 
 (e) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner; and 
  

 - 64 - 

 (f) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in
this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in
connection with any Credit Extensions that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans of the Borrower; and
(ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including
attorney costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 SECTION 8.14 Agency for Perfection. 
 Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other Applicable Law of the United
States of America can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than an Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s
request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 SECTION 8.15 Delinquent Lender. 
 (a)
If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to the Administrative Agent its applicable Commitment Percentage of any Loans, expenses
or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the
other Credit Parties, the Loan Parties or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Loan Parties, whether on account of
outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Obligations until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the
Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages of all outstanding Obligations shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent
Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its applicable Commitment Percentage of any
Obligations, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in SECTION 2.05 hereof from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are
actually paid. 
  

 - 65 - 

 (b) The non-Delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective,
sole and absolute discretion, to cause the termination and assignment, without any further action by the Delinquent Lender for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise
such right), of the Delinquent Lender’s applicable Commitment to fund future Loans. Upon any such purchase of the applicable Commitment Percentage of any Delinquent Lender, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under
the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment
and Acceptance. 
 (c) Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any
and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by the Administrative Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its
applicable Commitment Percentage of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by any Credit 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 Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or
consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by SECTION 9.02(b), 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 or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or
Event of Default at the time. 
 (b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor
any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan
Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided however, that no such
waiver, amendment, modification or other agreement shall: 
  

	 	(i)	Increase the Commitment of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender; 

  

	 	(ii)	Reduce the principal amount of any Obligation or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable under the Loan Documents without the consent of the Lenders affected
thereby; 

  

	 	(iii)	Without prior written Unanimous Consent of all Lenders: 

 (A) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Obligation, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable under the Loan Documents, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment,
or postpone the expiration of the Commitments or postpone the Maturity Date; 
 (B) except for Permitted Dispositions, release
any material portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents; 
 (C) increase the Total Commitments;

 (D) release any Loan Party from its obligations under any Loan Document or limit its liability in respect of such Loan
Document; 
  

 - 67 - 

 (E) change SECTION 2.08 or SECTION 7.03; 
 (F) subordinate the Obligations hereunder or the Liens granted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to any other Indebtedness or
Lien, as the case may be; or 
 (G) change any of the provisions of this SECTION 9.02 or the definition of “Required
Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder. 
  

	 	(iv)	Without prior written consent of the Agents, affect the rights or duties of the Agents. 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 9.02, in the event that the Borrower shall request that this Agreement or any other Loan Document be modified, amended or waived in a manner which
would require the consent of the Lenders pursuant to SECTION 9.02(b) and such amendment is approved by the Required Lenders, but not by the requisite percentage of all of the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to
amend this Agreement without the consent of the Lender or Lenders which did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by the Borrower (such Lender or Lenders, collectively the “Minority Lenders”) subject to their
providing for (i) the termination of each Commitment of each of the Minority Lenders, (ii) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial institutions, subject to the reasonable approval of the Administrative Agent, or an
increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Required Lenders, so that the Total Commitments after giving effect to such amendment shall be in the same amount as the aggregate Commitments immediately before giving effect to such amendment,
(iii) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new or increasing Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full the outstanding Loans (including
principal, interest, and fees) of the Minority Lenders immediately before giving effect to such amendment and (iv) such other modifications to this Agreement or the Loan Documents as may be appropriate and incidental to the foregoing.

 (d) No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstances. Each holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not a Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and
any consent by a Lender, or any holder of a Note, shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note, whether or not a Note is so marked. No amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective against the Borrower unless
signed by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party. 
 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 - 68 - 

 (b) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Credit Parties and each of their
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all damages, actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, actions, causes of action, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected 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 transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Credit Extension 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 any Loan Party
or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (v) any documentary taxes, assessments or similar charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee (or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of
such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates). In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Loan Parties shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel. 
 (c) No Loan Party shall assert and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Credit Extension or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (d) The provisions of this SECTION 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of
any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of any Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Credit Party. All amounts due under this SECTION 9.03 shall be payable on written demand
therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no 

  

 - 69 - 

 
Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (and any
such attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnitees), any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it);
provided that each assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to an assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not
be less than $5,000,000, or, if less, the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under all of the Loans; and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000.00. Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to SECTION 9.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits
of SECTION 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SECTION 9.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with SECTION 9.04(e). The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Loan Parties to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a
“Credit Party” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this
purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties and Credit Parties may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

 - 70 - 

 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in SECTION 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by SECTION 9.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance 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 SECTION 9.04(d). 
 (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Loan Parties or any other Person, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it), subject to the following: 
  

	 	(i)	such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; 

  

	 	(ii)	such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Loan Parties and other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement; 

  

	 	(iv)	any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation in the Commitments and the Loans 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 however, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to SECTION 9.02(b)(ii) or SECTION 9.02(b)(iii)(A) that affects such Participant; 

  

	 	(v)	subject to clauses (viii) and (ix) of this SECTION 9.04(e), the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.06 and SECTION 2.13
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to SECTION 9.04(b); 

  

	 	(vi)	to the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.08 as though it were a Lender so long as such Participant agrees to be subject
to SECTION 8.03 as though it were a Lender; 

  

	 	(vii)	 each Lender, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any
participation and a register (each a “Participation Register”) meeting the requirements of 26 CFR §5f.103 l(c) for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal
amounts and other Obligations from time to time. The entries in each 

  

 - 71 - 

	 	 
Participation Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties and the Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register
as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of entitlement to benefits under SECTION 2.06, SECTION 2.13, and SECTION 9.08). The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower and any Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; 

  

	 	(viii)	a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 2.06 or SECTION 2.13 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; and 

  

	 	(ix)	a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.13 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with SECTION 2.13(e) as though it were a Lender and such Participant is eligible for exemption from the withholding Tax referred to therein, following
compliance with SECTION 2.13(e). 

 (f) Any Credit Party 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 Credit Party, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12
U.S.C. Section 341, and this SECTION 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided however, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Credit Party from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Credit Party as a party hereto. 
 (g) The Loan Parties
authorize each Credit Party to disclose to any Participant or assignee and any prospective Participant or assignee, subject to the provisions of SECTION 9.15, any and all financial information in such Credit Party’s possession concerning the
Loan Parties which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Loan Parties in connection with such Credit
Party’s credit evaluation of the Loan Parties prior to becoming a party to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.05 Survival. 

All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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 

  

 - 72 - 

 
any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other Obligation is outstanding and
unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been irrevocably terminated. The provisions of SECTION 2.06, SECTION 2.13, SECTION 9.03 and ARTICLE VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the
release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties, may require such assurances and indemnities as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to
protect the Credit Parties against loss on account of such release and termination, including, without limitation, with respect to credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked. 
 SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 
 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all contemporaneous or previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in SECTION 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the applicable Credit Parties and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts
hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07 Severability. 
 Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION
9.08 Right of Setoff. 
 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party, each Participant, and each
of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other obligations at any time owing by such Credit Party, Participant, or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Loan Parties against any of and all the obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing 

  

 - 73 - 

 
under this Agreement or other Loan Document held by a Credit Party, irrespective of whether or not such Credit Party shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or other Loan Document and although such obligations may be matured or unmatured or otherwise fully secured. The Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender shall provide the Borrower with written notice promptly after any exercise of
the right of setoff. The rights of each Credit Party under this SECTION 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Credit Party may have, provided that the proceeds of any setoff shall be shared in
accordance with SECTION 8.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Credit Party will, or will permit its Participant to, exercise its rights under this SECTION 9.08 without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. ANY AND ALL
RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OF ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF UNDER
THIS SECTION ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. 
 SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process. 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (b) Each Loan Party agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the federal or state courts
of the State of New York as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each party to this Agreement hereby waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against a Loan Party or its properties in the courts of
any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each Loan Party agrees that any action commenced by any Loan Party asserting any claim or counterclaim arising under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought solely in the federal or state courts of the State of New York as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction
of such courts with respect to any such action. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in SECTION 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 
 EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY 

  

 - 74 - 

 
IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY) AND WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM IN RESPECT OF, AND ALL STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS WHICH MAY BE RELEVANT TO, SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING; AND WAIVES DUE
DILIGENCE, DEMAND, PRESENTMENT AND PROTEST AND ANY NOTICES THEREOF AS WELL AS NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.11 Press Releases and Related Matters. 
 Each Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public
disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with the Administrative Agent before
issuing such press release or other public disclosure. The Borrower consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using the
Borrower’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. The Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. 
 SECTION 9.12 Headings. 
 Article and
Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, the
“Charges”), shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order to exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender
holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest
and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such 

  

 - 75 - 

 
Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of
other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

 SECTION 9.14 Additional Waivers. 
 (a) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or
exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any Loan Party from, any of the
terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party. 
 (b) The obligations of each Loan Party, whether set forth hereunder or pursuant to any
Guaranty, to pay the Obligations in full shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to
any Loan Party under any Loan Document), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by
reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the
failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof,
any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a
discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document). 
 (c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party
or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination
of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an
assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party,
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full after the termination 

  

 - 76 - 

 
of Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. Pursuant to Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election
even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

 (d) Any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the
prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of any such indebtedness of any
Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or
other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security
for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Loan Party by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Loan Party
waives all rights and defenses that such Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate which means, among other things: (i) a Credit Party may collect from any Loan Party without first foreclosing on any Real Estate or
personal property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party; (ii) if any Credit Party forecloses on any Real Estate pledged by any Loan Party, the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Real Estate is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the Real Estate is worth more than the sale price; and (iii) the Credit Parties may collect Obligations from a Loan Party even if a Credit Party, by foreclosing on any such Real Estate, has destroyed any right any Loan
Party may have to collect from the other Loan Parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate. These rights and defenses include, but are
not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or
benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California. 
 (f) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to keep each other Loan Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of its business, affairs, finances, and financial condition, and its ability to perform its Obligations, and
in particular as to any adverse developments with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to undertake to keep itself apprised at all times as to the status of the business, affairs, finances, and financial condition of each other Loan Party,
and of the ability of each other Loan Party to perform its Obligations, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect to any thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, in light of the foregoing mutual covenants to inform each other, and
to keep themselves and each other informed as to such matters, that the Credit Parties shall have no duty to inform any Loan Party of any information pertaining to the business, affairs, finances, or financial condition of any 

  

 - 77 - 

 
other Loan Party, or pertaining to the ability of any other Loan Party to perform its Obligations, even if such information is adverse, and even if such
information might influence the decision of one or more of the Loan Parties to continue to be jointly and severally liable for, or to provide Collateral for, Obligations of one or more of the other Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any duty of the Credit Parties to inform any Loan Party of any such information. 
 SECTION 9.15 Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and any actual or prospective counterparty or advisors to any swap or derivative transactions relating to the Loan Parties and the Obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Loan Parties or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Loan Parties. For the purposes of this Section, the term “Information,” means all information received from the Loan Parties relating to their business, other than any such information that is available to the Credit Parties on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties provided that, in the case of information received from the Loan Parties after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 (b) Each of the Loans Parties agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Lender Information (as defined below), except that Lender Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to the extent required by the Merger Agreement, (e) to any other party to this Agreement, (f) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, or (g) with the consent of the Credit Parties. In the event that
any Loan Party is permitted to disclose Lender Information pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above, such Loan Party will notify the Credit Parties as 

  

 - 78 - 

 
early as practicable prior to such disclosure. For the purposes of this Section, the term “Lender Information,” means all information received from
the Loan Parties in connection with the Loan Documents or set forth therein, including, without limitation, the identity of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Lender Information as
provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information. 
 SECTION 9.16 Patriot Act. 
 Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower is in
compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party,
candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

 SECTION 9.17 Foreign Asset Control Regulations. 
 Neither the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or
any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating
thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support
Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)).
Furthermore, none of the Borrower or its Affiliates (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) engages or will
engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.
