WHEREAS, Section 10.02 of the Base Indenture and Section 7.01 of the 2014 Supplemental Indenture provides that the Company and

 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree as
follows: 
 1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture. 
 2. Amendments. 

 (a) The first sentence of Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and
restated as follows: 
 “In case the Company shall desire to exercise any right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of, the
Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such redemption at least 3 business days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of
Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the registry books of the Company and to the Trustee, except as the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors to establish the terms
of any series of Securities may otherwise provide.” 
 (b) The last paragraph of Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture is
hereby amended and restated as follows: 
 “Prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this
Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of money sufficient to
redeem on the redemption date all the Securities or portions thereof so called for redemption, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Company will give the Trustee notice not less than six business days (or such shorter
period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the redemption date as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select or
cause to be selected, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of that series or portions thereof to be redeemed. Securities of a series may be redeemed in part only in multiples of the smallest
authorized denomination of that series. 
 (c) The first sentence of the second paragraph of Section 3.01 of the 2014
Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended and restated as follows: 
 “The Company will mail notice of such redemption to the registered
holders of the Notes to be redeemed not less than 3 business days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. 
 (c) Any
other changes to the Indenture of a technical or conforming nature shall hereby be deemed made to the extent necessary to reflect the amendments and deletions described herein. 

3. Effect and Operation of this Supplemental Indenture. This Supplemental Indenture shall be effective and binding immediately
upon its execution by the Company and the Trustee, and thereupon this Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Note heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be bound
hereby. Except as modified and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, all provisions of the Indenture shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, this Supplemental Indenture relates to the Notes only and shall be not be deemed to affect the
rights of the holders of any other series of securities issued under the Base Indenture.

1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP;
provided, that if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such
provision, regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent and Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that
are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrower after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement

such amount as Agent reasonably determines is appropriate to secure such contingent Obligations, (e) the payment or repayment in full in immediately available funds of all other outstanding Obligations then due and payable (that, for the
avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree (i) excludes (1) unasserted contingent indemnification, contingent liability, contingent guaranty, contingent reimbursement or other similar contingent Obligations, and (2) any Bank Product

 2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 
  

	 	2.1	Revolver Advances. 

(a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Borrower shall deliver, on the date that each Lender’s Commitment becomes
effective, to each such Lender a duly executed Revolving Credit Note, dated as of the date its Commitment becomes effective, and otherwise duly completed. The face amount and maximum principal balance of each Revolving Credit Note shall be the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Interest shall accrue, and any amounts due and owing in respect of any Revolving Credit Note shall be payable, as described herein. 
 (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make aggregate advances (each, an
“Advance” and, collectively, the “Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of: 
 (i) such Lender’s Commitment, or 
 (ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
an amount equal to the lesser of: 
 (A) the amount equal to (1) the Maximum Revolver Amount minus
(2) the Revolver Usage, and 
 (B) the amount equal to (1) the Borrowing Base at such time (based upon the most recent
Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower to Agent) minus (2) the sum of (y) the Revolver Usage. 
 (c)
Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together
with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. 
 (d)
Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), to establish, increase, reduce, eliminate or otherwise adjust reserves from time to time against the Borrowing Base, in
such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, including (i) reserves in an amount equal to the Bank Product Reserve Amount, and (ii) without duplication, reserves
with respect to (A) sums that 

  
 - 45 -

 
Borrower or its Subsidiaries are required to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other
amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay when due, (B) amounts owing by Borrower or its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than a Permitted Lien which is a
permitted purchase money Lien or the interest of a lessor under a Capital Lease), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to Trustee’s Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords,
warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral, (C) the valuation
of any Eligible Loan, and (D) estimated expenses necessary to facilitate the orderly disposition of Collateral and wind-down of Borrower’s business after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided,
that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the aggregate amount of such reserves for the valuation of Collateral as of any date of determination under this Section 2.1(d) shall not exceed 5% of the Maximum
Revolver Amount as of such date. The amount of any reserve established by Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the basis for such reserve and shall not be duplicative of any other
reserve established and currently maintained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, at its option, replace any reserves established pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) with Availability (but only to the extent Borrower is in
compliance with Section 6.1(s) after giving effect thereto), or cash collateral in amount, form and substance satisfactory to Agent. 
 2.2 Accordion. 
 (a) At any time during the period from and after the
Closing Date and so long as Borrower has at no time reduced the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.4(b), at the option of Borrower (but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(b) below), the Commitments and the
Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount not to exceed the Available Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”). Agent
shall invite each Lender to increase its Commitments (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitments) in connection with a proposed Increase at the interest margin proposed by Borrower, and if sufficient Lenders do
not agree to increase their Commitments in connection with such proposed Increase, then Agent or Borrower may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower to become a Lender in connection with a proposed
Increase. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Increases to the Commitments exceed $75,000,000 and the Maximum Revolver Amount shall not exceed $150,000,000.

 (b) Each of the following shall be conditions precedent to any Increase of the Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount:

 (i) Agent or Borrower have obtained the commitment of one or more Lenders (or other prospective lenders) reasonably
satisfactory to Agent and Borrower to provide the applicable Increase and any such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Borrower, and Agent have signed a joinder agreement to this Agreement (an “Increase Joinder”), in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to which such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Borrower, and Agent are party, 

(ii) each of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 2.1(a), 3.2, and 15.1 is satisfied and Borrower shall
not at any time prior thereto have exercised its right to reduce the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.4(b), 

(iii) Borrower has delivered to Agent updated pro forma Projections in accordance with Section 9.12(c) for Servicer, Borrower
and Borrower’s Subsidiaries evidencing compliance on a pro forma basis with Sections 6.1(q), 6.1(r), and 6.1(s), for the 4 fiscal quarters (on a quarter-by-quarter basis) immediately following the proposed date of the
applicable Increase, and 

  
 - 46 -

 (iv) Borrower shall have reached agreement with the Lenders (or prospective lenders)
agreeing to the increased Commitments with respect to the interest margins applicable to Advances to be made pursuant to the increased Commitments (which interest margins may be higher than or equal to the interest margins applicable to Advances set
forth in this Agreement immediately prior to the date of the increased Commitments (the date of the effectiveness of the increased Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount, the “Increase Date”)) and shall have communicated the
amount of such interest margins to Agent. 
 (c) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement
and any other Loan Document to Advances shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include Advances made pursuant to the increased Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount pursuant to this Section 2.2. 

(d) Each of the Lenders having a Commitment prior to the Increase Date (the “Pre-Increase Lenders”) shall assign to any
Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Commitment on the Increase Date (the “Post-Increase Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such
interests in the Advances and participation interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans on such Increase Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Advances and participation
interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Lenders and Post-Increase Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to such increased Commitments. 

(e) The Advances, Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount established pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall constitute Advances,
Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any guarantees and the
security interests created by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents continue to be perfected under the Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount. 
 2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements. 
 (a) Procedure for
Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent and received by Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (i) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for a
Swing Loan or a request for an Advance at any time when there is only one Lender (excluding the Swing Lender and the Issuing Bank), and (ii) on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date in the case of all other
requests, specifying (A) the amount of such Borrowing, (B) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (C) whether the applicable Advance is to be a Pre-Funded Advance, and (D) whether the applicable Advance is
with respect to a Split-Funded Loan; provided, that Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 1:00 p.m. on the applicable Business Day. At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering
the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of
the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request. 

  
 - 47 -

 (b) Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for an Advance and so long as
either (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus all payments or other amounts applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested Swing Loan does not exceed, as of
any date of determination, 20% of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders in effect on such date (unless such Swing Loan is an Advance to cover any DZ Borrower Portfolio Loan Amounts as set forth below), or (ii) Swing Lender, in its sole
discretion, agrees to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender shall make an Advance (any such Advance made by Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing
Loan” and all such Advances being referred to as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds in the amount of such requested Borrowing to the
Designated Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in any other Loan Document, or otherwise and regardless of any event or circumstance, including without limitation the existence of any Default, Event of
Default, or Servicer Termination Event, the occurrence of the Maturity Date, the occurrence of an Overadvance, or the termination of the Commitments or any portion thereof, Swing Lender is hereby authorized at any time to make one or more Swing
Loans to pay any DZ Borrower Portfolio Loan Expenses required to be paid pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including
Section 3) applicable to other Advances, except that all payments (including interest) on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Swing
Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (y) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested
Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (z) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by Trustee’s Liens, constitute Advances and Obligations, and bear interest at the rate applicable
from time to time to Advances. 
 (c) Making of Loans. 

(i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing; such notification to be sent on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the
requested Funding Date. If Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the Funding Date, then each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested
Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances from the Lenders,
Agent shall promptly make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, that, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Advance, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding
Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. 
 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 12:30 p.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Borrowing as to which Agent has notified the Lenders of a
requested Borrowing that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will
make such amount available to 

  
 - 48 -

 
Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on
the requested Funding Date, any Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Agent in immediately available funds and if Agent has made available to Borrower such amount on the requested Funding Date, then
such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day
after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing for the Funding Date shall be for Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required
to make available to Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if Agent has made available to Borrower such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Agent, together with interest at
the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is made available to Agent, then such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advance for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day
following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Borrowing. 
 (d)
Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances. 
 (i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.3(d)(iv), at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3 are not satisfied, Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time, in Agent’s sole discretion, to make Advances to, or for the benefit of, Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders, that Agent, in its
Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (the Advances
described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any one time shall not exceed, as of any
date of determination, 10% of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders in effect on such date (unless such Protective Advances are to cover any DZ Borrower Portfolio Loan Expenses). 

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.3(d)(iv),
the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swing Loans) to Borrower
notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than 10% (unless such Overadvance is to cover
any DZ Borrower Portfolio Loan Expenses as set forth below), and (B) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group
Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount (unless such Overadvance is to cover any DZ Borrower Portfolio Loan Expenses as set forth below). In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted
by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding
amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm 

  
 - 49 -

 
to the Collateral or its value, in which case Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders thereupon shall, together with Agent,
jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrower to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such
circumstances, if any Lender objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing
provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrower, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.8. Each Lender shall be obligated to settle with Agent as
provided in Section 2.3(e) (or Section 2.3(g), as applicable) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as
permitted under this Section 2.3(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in any other
Loan Document, or otherwise and regardless of any event or circumstance, including without limitation the existence of any Default, Event of Default, or Servicer Termination Event, the occurrence of the Maturity Date, or the termination of the
Commitments or any portion thereof, Swing Lender is hereby authorized at any time to make one or more Overadvances to pay any DZ Borrower Portfolio Loan Expenses required to be paid pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be an Advance
hereunder, except that prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Extraordinary Advances shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account, except for payments on Extraordinary Advances that consist of Overadvances resulting from a decline
in the value of the Collateral or the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses, which shall be payable to Agent for the account of the Lenders, based on their Pro Rata Shares of such amounts. The Extraordinary
Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Trustee’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d) are for the exclusive
benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower (or any other Loan Party) in any way. 

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: (A) no Extraordinary Advance
may be made by Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Extraordinary Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and (B) to the extent that the making of any
Extraordinary Advance causes the aggregate Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, such portion of such Extraordinary Advance shall be for Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Lender and shall be
entitled to priority in repayment in accordance with Section 2.7(b). 
 (e) Settlement. It is agreed that each
Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which
agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Extraordinary Advances shall
take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i) Agent shall request settlement
(“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent in its sole discretion (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, (2) for itself,
with respect to the outstanding Extraordinary Advances, and (3) with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ payments or other 

  
 - 50 -

 
amounts received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day
immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding
Advances, Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date, or, in the case of the first Settlement Date, since the Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including
Section 2.3(g)): (y) if the amount of the Advances (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing
Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount
such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances), and (z) if the amount of the Advances (including Swing Loans,
and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement
Date transfer in immediately available funds to Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and
Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances and, together with the
portion of such Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date
applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. 

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) is less than,
equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments
actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. 
 (iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, any payments or other amounts received by
Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to reduction of the Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Extraordinary
Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has implemented
the provisions of Section 2.3(g)), to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances.
During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Extraordinary Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Advances other than Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to

  
 - 51 -

 
interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable, such amount adjusted on a daily
basis to reflect payments from Borrower deemed (in accordance with Section 2.10) received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest and fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders, without regard to when such
amounts are actually distributed by Agent to the Lenders. 
 (iv) Anything in this Section 2.3(e) to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in
Section 2.3(g). 
 (f) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register
showing the principal amount of the Advances owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Extraordinary Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall,
absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. 
 (g) Defaulting Lenders. 

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7(b)(ii), Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any
payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall
transfer any such payments (A) first, to Swing Lender to the extent of any Swing Loans that were made by Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to Issuing Bank, to the extent of
the portion of a Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent
that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of an Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (D) fourth, to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and
may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower (upon the request of Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other
funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) fifth, from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (N) of Section 2.7(b)(ii). Subject to the
foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the
purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.13(b), such
Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by Section 16.1(a)(i)
through (iii). The provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, Issuing Bank, and
Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.3(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to
Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent or Borrower, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder (on which
earlier date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any remaining cash collateral held by Trustee pursuant to Section 2.3(g)(ii) shall be released to Borrower at the written request of Agent). The operation of
this Section 2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or 

  
 - 52 -

 
excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations
hereunder to Agent, Issuing Bank, or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this
Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with
the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees
that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other
amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the Letters of Credit); provided, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not
be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority
provisions of this Section 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent
possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern. 

(ii) If any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(A) such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders
in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Advance Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total
of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; 
 (B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or
can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause
(A) above) and (y) second, provide Letter of Credit Cash Collateralization for such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above), pursuant
to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; provided, that Borrower shall not be obligated to provide Letter of Credit
Cash Collateralization any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure if such Defaulting Lender is also the Issuing Bank; 
 (C) if Borrower provides Letter of Credit Cash Collateralization for any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.3(g)(ii), Borrower shall
not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender with respect to such cash collateralized portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Letter of Credit
Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (D) to the extent the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated
pursuant to this Section 2.3(g)(ii), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure; 

  
 - 53 -

 (E) to the extent any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash
collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.3(g)(ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees that would have otherwise been payable to such
Defaulting Lender with respect to such portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall instead be payable to the Issuing Bank until such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized or reallocated;

 (F) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Lender shall not be required to make any Swing Loan and the
Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case, to the extent (x) the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loans or Letter of Credit can not be reallocated pursuant to this
Section 2.3(g)(ii) or (y) the Swing Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, and Borrower to eliminate the Swing
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Loans or Letters of Credit; and 
 (G) Agent may release or cause Trustee to release any cash collateral provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(g)(ii) to the Issuing Bank and the Issuing Bank may apply any such cash
collateral to the payment of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement that is not reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(c). 

(h) Independent Obligations. All Advances (other than Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) shall be made by the Lenders
contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder,
nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other
Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
 2.4 Early Termination or Reduction by Borrower; Optional Prepayment of
Advances. 
 (a) Termination. Borrower has the option, at any time upon 10 Business Days’ prior written
notice to Agent, to terminate this Agreement and terminate the Commitments hereunder by repaying to Agent all of the Obligations in full. The foregoing notwithstanding, (a) Borrower may rescind termination notices relative to proposed payments
in full of the Obligations with the proceeds of third party Indebtedness and Disqualified Equity Interests if the closing for such issuance or incurrence does not happen on or before the date of the proposed repayment in full (in which case, a new
notice shall be required to be sent in connection with any subsequent termination), and (b) Borrower may extend the date of repayment in full and termination of the Commitments at any time with the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as such extension is not beyond the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Partial Reduction.
Borrower has the option, at any time upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable, to reduce in part the Commitments hereunder; provided, that (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount is not less
than the Revolver Usage after giving effect to such reduction, (ii) Borrower shall have paid any fees or other amounts due in respect thereof pursuant to any Fee Letter, (iii) any such reduction shall be irrevocable, (iv) such partial
reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (v) such reduction shall be allocated so as to reduce the Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share
(prior to giving effect to the requested reduction) of the aggregate amount of such reduction. 

  
 - 54 -

 (c) Partial Repayment. In accordance with Section 2.1(c), Advances may be
prepaid prior to the Maturity Date without premium or penalty so long as the Maturity Date has not occurred. 
 2.5
Maturity. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date. 
 2.6
Effect of Maturity. On the Maturity Date, all Commitments of the Lender Group to provide additional credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations immediately shall become due and payable without notice
or demand, and Borrower shall be required to repay all of the Obligations in full. No termination of the obligations of the Lender Group (other than payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments) shall relieve or discharge
any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and Trustee’s Liens in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid
in full and the Commitments have been terminated. When all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Agent will or will
cause Trustee to execute and deliver, at Borrower’s sole expense, any termination statements, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are
reasonably necessary to release, as of record, Trustee’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Trustee or Agent. 
  

	 	2.7	Payments. 

 (a)
Payments by Borrower. 
 (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including without limitation with respect to
any amounts paid to the Collection Account or the Split-Funded Loan Collection Account, as applicable, and then to the Trust Account), all payments by or on behalf of Borrower shall be made to the Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender
Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 2 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 2 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received (unless Agent, in its sole
discretion, elects to credit it on the date received) on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until but excluding such following Business Day. 

(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make
such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on
demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 

(b) Apportionment and Application. 
 (i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments received by Agent shall
be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments 

  
 - 55 -

 
of fees and expenses received by Agent (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account or for the separate account of Issuing Bank) shall be apportioned ratably among the
Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates. Subject to Section 2.7(b)(iv), all payments to be made hereunder by or on behalf of Borrower shall be remitted to Agent
(either directly or through the Collection Account or the Split-Funded Loan Collection Account, as applicable, and then the Trust Account as required herein) and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied,
so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, to reduce the balance of the Advances outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated
Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. 
 (ii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred
and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows: 

(A) first, to pay any Advances with respect to DZ Borrower Portfolio Loan Expenses, 

(B) second, to pay, pro rata, any Trustee Fees and Special Servicer Fees and Expenses (as such term is defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement), until paid in full, 
 (C) third, to pay any Servicing Fees, until paid in full, 

(D) fourth, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements and any Trustee Fees not paid by Borrower)
or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 
 (E) fifth, to pay any fees or premiums
then due to Agent under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 
 (F) sixth, to pay interest due in respect of all
Extraordinary Advances until paid in full, 
 (G) seventh, to pay the principal of all Extraordinary Advances until paid
in full, 
 (H) eighth, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or
indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 
 (I) ninth, ratably, to pay
any fees or premiums then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 
 (J) tenth, to pay
interest accrued in respect of the Swing Loans until paid in full, 
 (K) eleventh, to pay the principal of all Swing
Loans until paid in full, 
 (L) twelfth, ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Advances (other than
Protective Advances) until paid in full, 

  
 - 56 -

 (M) thirteenth, ratably 

(1) to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, 
 (2) to Trustee, to be held by Trustee, for the benefit of Issuing Bank (and for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders that have an obligation to pay to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, a share
of each Letter of Credit Disbursement), as Letter of Credit Cash Collateralization (to the extent permitted by applicable law, all such cash collateral shall be applied to the reimbursement of any Letter of Credit Disbursement as and when such
disbursement occurs and, if a Letter of Credit expires undrawn, the cash collateral held by Trustee in respect of such Letter of Credit shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(ii),
beginning with tier (A) hereof), 
 (3) ratably, up to the amount (after taking into account any amounts previously
paid pursuant to this clause (3) during the continuation of the applicable Application Event) of the most recently established Bank Product Reserve Amount to (y) the Bank Product Providers based upon amounts then certified by the
applicable Bank Product Provider to Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) to be due and payable to such Bank Product Providers on account of Bank Product Obligations, and (z) with any balance to be paid to Trustee, to be held by
Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral (which cash collateral Trustee may release at the written direction of Agent to the applicable Bank Product Provider and applied by such Bank Product Provider to the
payment or reimbursement of any amounts due and payable with respect to Bank Product Obligations owed to the applicable Bank Product Provider as and when such amounts first become due and payable and, if and at such time as all such Bank Product
Obligations are paid or otherwise satisfied in full, the cash collateral held by Trustee in respect of such Bank Product Obligations shall be remitted to Agent and reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(ii), beginning with tier
(A) hereof, 
 (N) fourteenth, ratably to pay any Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders; and 

(O) fifteenth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

 (iii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender
in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(e); provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be liable for interest relating to any period
occasioned by such a Settlement delay between the time Agent is deemed (in accordance with Section 2.10) to receive payment in good funds from Borrower with respect to principal, interest or fees and the time such amounts are distributed
to the Lenders. 
 (iv) In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing,
Section 2.7(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower to Agent and specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document. 
 (v) For purposes of Section 2.7(b)(ii), “paid in full” of a type of
Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, default interest, interest on interest, and
expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding. 

  
 - 57 -

 (vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this
Section 2.7(b) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in
concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the provisions of Section 2.3(g) and this Section 2.7(b), then the provisions of
Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.7(b) shall control and govern. 
 2.8 Overadvances; Promise to Pay. 
 (a) Overadvances. If, at
any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations but including Letter of Credit Usage) owed by Borrower to the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.14 is greater than any
of the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.14, as applicable (an “Overadvance”), Borrower, within 1 Business Day, shall either (i) pay to the Collection Account, in cash, the amount of such
excess, which amount shall be used by Agent, when received, to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.7(b), or (ii) acquire additional Eligible Loans sufficient to ensure that the amount of
Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations but including Letter of Credit Usage) owed by Borrower to the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.14 is equal to or less than any of the limitations set forth in
Section 2.1 or Section 2.14, as applicable . In the event that after giving effect to any such payment, an Overadvance continues to exist, Borrower immediately shall provide Letter of Credit Cash Collateralization to Trustee
with respect to such remaining excess. 
 (b) Promise to Pay. Borrower agrees to pay the Lender Group Expenses on the
earlier of (i) the first day of the month following the date on which the applicable Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or (ii) the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging
of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9(c) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (ii)). Borrower
promises to pay all of the Obligations (including principal, interest, premiums, if any, fees, costs, and expenses (including Lender Group Expenses)) in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations (other than the
Bank Product Obligations) become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Borrower agrees that its obligations contained in the first sentence of this Section 2.8(b) shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all
other Obligations. 
 2.9 Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.13(c) and Section 2.15(a), all Obligations (except for
the undrawn portion of the face amount of Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin,
or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable laws; provided, that following notice to Borrower in accordance with Section 2.15(a) hereof, all Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to
the terms hereof shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal, during the duration of the circumstances described in Section 2.15(a), to the lesser of (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin as calculated pursuant to
Section 2.15(a) or (B) the maximum rate of interest allowable by applicable laws. 
 (b) Default Rate.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and at the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, 

  
 - 58 -

 (i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the
Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and 
 (ii) the Letter of Credit Fee shall be
increased as set forth in the Loan Pricing Agreement. 
 (c) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in
Section 2.13, Section 2.14(k), or Section 2.16(a), (i) all interest, all Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in
arrears, on the first day of each month; and (ii) all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable on the earlier of (x) the first day of the month
following the date on which the applicable costs, expenses, or Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or (y) the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such costs, expenses or
Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of the following sentence shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (y)). Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, from time to
time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge to the Loan Account (A) on the first day of each month, all interest accrued during the prior month on the Advances hereunder, (B) on the first day of each month, all Letter of Credit Fees
accrued or chargeable hereunder during the prior month, (C) as and when incurred or accrued, all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.13(a) or (c), (D) on the first day of each month, the Unused Line Fee accrued
during the prior month pursuant to Section 2.13(b), (E) as and when due and payable, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (F) as and when incurred or accrued, the fronting fees and all
commissions, other fees, charges and expenses provided for in Section 2.14(k), (G) as and when incurred or accrued, all other Lender Group Expenses, and (H) as and when due and payable all other payment obligations payable
under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products). Agent shall provide a summary of amounts charged to the Loan Account. All amounts (including
interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any Bank Product Agreement) charged to the Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Advances hereunder, shall
constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances. 
 (d) Computation.
All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Base Rate is
changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. 

(e) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in
executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of
interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment
received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess. 

  
 - 59 -

 2.10 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be
required to be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any
payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be
deemed received by Agent only if it is received into Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 2 p.m. If any payment item is received into Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 2 p.m. on a Business Day (unless Agent, in its
sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. 

2.11 Designated Account. Agent is authorized to make the Advances, and Issuing Bank is authorized to issue the Letters of
Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation
Section 2.3(d)). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders
hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, any Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account; provided, that all Pre-Funded Advances shall be made
to the Designated Account at all times. 
 2.12 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Agent
shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Advances (including Extraordinary Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders
to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Issuing Bank for Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees
and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.10, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account, including any transfers to the Agent’s
Account from the Collection Account or the Split-Funded Loan Collection Account, as applicable, or the Trust Account. Agent shall make available to Borrower monthly statements regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the
Advances, interest accrued hereunder, fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and a summary itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses accrued hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,
and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after Agent first makes such a statement
available to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in such statement. 
 2.13 Fees. 
 (a) Agent Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for
the account of Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Agent Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter. 
 (b) Unused Line Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) in accordance with the Loan Pricing Agreement.

 (c) Lender Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, as and when due and payable under the terms
of the Loan Pricing Agreement and this Agreement, the fees set forth in the Loan Pricing Agreement. 

  
 - 60 -

 (d) Trustee Fees. Borrower shall pay to Trustee, for the account of Trustee, as and
when due and payable under the terms of the Trustee Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Trustee Fee Letter. 
 (e) Field
Examination and Other Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Agent, field examination, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges, as and when incurred or chargeable, as follows (i) a fee of $1,000 per day, per examiner, plus
out-of-pocket expenses (including travel, meals, and lodging) for each field examination of Borrower performed by personnel employed by Agent, and (ii) the fees or charges paid or incurred by Agent (but, in any event, no less than a charge of
$1,000 per day, per Person, plus out-of-pocket expenses (including travel, meals, and lodging)) if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform field examinations of Servicer, Borrower, or Borrower’s Subsidiaries, to
establish electronic collateral reporting systems, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess Servicer’s, Borrower’s, or Borrower’s Subsidiaries’ business valuation; provided, that so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for (i) more than 3 field examinations, appraisals of the Collateral, or valuations, during any calendar year performed by or at the direction
of Agent or (ii) more than $35,000 in the aggregate for all such examinations, appraisals, and valuations for any calendar year performed by or at the direction of Agent. In conducting such field examinations, appraisals, or valuations, Agent
shall be acting on its own behalf and on behalf of Trustee and the Lenders; Borrower shall permit Trustee and any Lender, and each of their respective duly authorized representatives or agents to accompany Agent on any such field examination,
appraisal, or valuation, but, shall not be required to permit such additional Persons to conduct separate or simultaneous field examinations, appraisals, or valuations and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall
not pay any fees, costs or expenses of such additional Persons. 
 2.14 Letters of Credit. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower made in accordance herewith, Issuing Bank agrees
to issue a requested Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower (or at the request of Borrower for the account of a Portfolio Company that is not a Portfolio Company with respect to a Split-Funded Loan) in aggregate face amounts not to exceed the
Letter of Credit Sublimit. By submitting a request to Issuing Bank for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Bank issue the requested Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a Letter
of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of
transmission reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Bank and
(i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) the name and
address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed,
or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as Agent or Issuing Bank may request or require, to the extent that such requests or
requirements are consistent with the Issuer Documents that Issuing Bank generally requests for Letters of Credit in similar circumstances. Issuing Bank’s records of the content of any such request shall be conclusive. Anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of Borrower or its Subsidiaries (including indirectly the obligations of any Portfolio Company) in respect of
(A) a lease of real property, or (B) an employment contract. 

  
 - 61 -

 (b) Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the
following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance: 
 (i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Letter
of Credit Sublimit, or 
 (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount
of Advances (including Swing Loans), or 
 (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time less
the outstanding amount of Advances (inclusive of Swing Loans) at such time. 
 (c) In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as
of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent (x) the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to
such Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.3(g)(ii) or (y) the Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk
with respect to the participation in such Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, which arrangements may include Borrower cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with
Section 2.3(g)(ii). Additionally, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if (I) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain
Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request
that Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (II) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit
generally, or (III) such Letter of Credit is to be issued in connection with a Split-Funded Loan. 
 (d) Any Issuing Bank (other
than Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates) shall notify Agent in writing no later than the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issued any Letter of Credit; provided that (i) until Agent advises
any such Issuing Bank that the provisions of Section 3.2 are not satisfied, or (ii) unless the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by Agent and such Issuing Bank,
such Issuing Bank shall be required to so notify Agent in writing only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice
to be furnished on such day of the week as Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be
payable in Dollars. If Issuing Bank makes a payment under any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Agent, directly or through the Collection Account, an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of
Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent
set forth in Section 3 or otherwise in this Agreement) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrower’s obligation to
pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.14(e) to reimburse Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

  
 - 62 -

 (e) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to
Section 2.14(d), each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.14(d) on the same terms and conditions as if Borrower had requested the amount thereof as an Advance and Agent
shall promptly pay to Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of Issuing Bank or the
Lenders, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of
Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank and not reimbursed
by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.14(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that Agent or Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrower for any reason.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) shall
be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3 or otherwise in this
Agreement. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the
account of Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full. 
 (f) Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Lender Group (including Issuing Bank and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective
directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Bank, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions,
investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in
connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall
be governed by Section 2.17) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of: 
 (i) any Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance; 
 (ii) any transfer,
sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any Letter of Credit; 
 (iii) any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to
compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit; 

  
 - 63 -

 (v) any unauthorized instruction or request made to Issuing Bank in connection with any
Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit or error in computer or electronic transmission; 
 (vi) an adviser, confirmer or
other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated; 
 (vii) any third party seeking to enforce the
rights of an applicant (including any Portfolio Company), beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document; 

(viii) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Letter of Credit Related Person; 

(ix) Issuing Bank’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation;

 (x) the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or
regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Related Person; or 
 (xi) any act or omission
of any Portfolio Company; 
 in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence;
provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i) through (xi) above to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may
be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. Borrower hereby
agrees to pay the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under this Section 2.14(f). If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.14(f)
are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters
of Credit. 
 (g) The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or
arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrower that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter
of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care
if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower’s aggregate remedies against Issuing Bank and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a
presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Borrower to Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit
under Section 2.14(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. Borrower shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Issuing Bank or any other Letter of Credit Related
Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of 

  
 - 64 -

 
Credit. Any claim by Borrower under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by Borrower as a result of the
breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrower taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically
and timely authorizing Issuing Bank to effect a cure. 
 (h) Borrower is responsible for preparing or approving the final text of
the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrower. Borrower is solely responsible
for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrower’s purposes. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrower does not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, Borrower will so notify Agent and Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before Issuing Bank
is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (i) Borrower’s reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.14 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including: 
 (i) any lack of validity, enforceability or legal
effect of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein; 
 (ii) payment against
presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; 

(iii) Issuing Bank or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit; 

(iv) Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of
Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit; 
 (v) the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Bank or any other Person; 

(vi) any act or omission of any Portfolio Company; 
 (vii) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.14(i), constitute a legal or equitable defense to
or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, Borrower’s reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any
other Person; or 

  
 - 65 -

 (viii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 provided, that subject to Section 2.14(g) above, the foregoing shall not release Issuing Bank from such liability to
Borrower as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment
obligations, of Borrower to Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.14 or any Letter of Credit. 
 (j) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Issuing Bank and each other Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to Borrower or any Portfolio Company for,
and Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against Borrower and the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by: 

(i) honor of a presentation under any Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such
Letter of Credit, even if the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary; 
 (ii) honor of a presentation of
any Drawing Document that appears on its face to have been signed, presented or issued (A) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other Person required to sign, present or issue such Drawing Document or (B) under a
new name of the beneficiary; 
 (iii) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a
Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft, or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; 

(iv) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of
any Drawing Document (other than Issuing Bank’s determination that such Drawing Document appears on its face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit); 

(v) acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that Issuing Bank in good faith
believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request; 
 (vi) any errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document (regardless of how sent or transmitted) or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation or any delay in giving or failing to give notice to
Borrower; 
 (vii) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the insolvency of, any Portfolio Company, any beneficiary, any nominated
person or entity or any other Person or any breach of contract between the beneficiary and Borrower or any Portfolio Company or between Borrower and any Portfolio Company or any of the parties to the underlying transaction to which the Letter of
Credit relates; 
 (viii) assertion or waiver of any provision of the ISP or UCP that primarily benefits an issuer of a letter
of credit, including any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place; 

  
 - 66 -

 (ix) payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the
applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it; 
 (x) acting or failing to act as required or permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to where Issuing Bank has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Letter of Credit, as the
case may be; 
 (xi) honor of a presentation after the expiration date of any Letter of Credit notwithstanding that a
presentation was made prior to such expiration date and dishonored by Issuing Bank if subsequently Issuing Bank or any court or other finder of fact determines such presentation should have been honored; 

(xii) dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or

 (xiii) honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by Issuing Bank to have been made in violation of
international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons. 
 (k)
Borrower shall pay immediately upon demand to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank as non-refundable fees, commissions and charges (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such fees, commissions, and charges to the Loan Account
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9(c) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this Section 2.10(k)): (i) a fronting fee which shall be imposed by Issuing Bank upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit in accordance with the Agent Fee Letter, plus (ii) any and all other customary commissions, fees and charges then in effect imposed by, and any and all expenses incurred by, Issuing Bank, or by
any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person, relating to Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of any Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including
transfers, assignments of proceeds, amendments, drawings, renewals or cancellations). 
 (l) If by reason of (x) any Change
in Law, or (y) compliance by Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including,
Regulation D of the Board of Governors as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): 
 (i) any reserve, deposit,
or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or 
 (ii) there shall be imposed on Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit, 
 and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Letter of
Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall
pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from
the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder; provided, that (A)

  
 - 67 -

 
Borrower shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14(l) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for
payment of such amounts is first made to Borrower, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.14(l), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final
and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. 
 (m) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Issuing Bank and Borrower
when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP and the UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 

(n) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.14 and any provision contained in any Issuer
Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as
aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.14 shall control and govern. 
 2.15 LIBOR Rate
Provisions. 
 (a) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate. 

(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or
increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any Eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including any
Changes in Law (including, without duplication of other amounts under due under this Section 2.15, any changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws)) and changes in the reserve requirements
imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a
determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to
Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment
is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.15(a)(ii)). 
 (ii) In the event that any change in market
conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to
determine or charge interest rates based on the LIBOR Rate, (x) such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit such notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any
LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender
thereafter shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, minus (B) the amount by which such Base Rate exceeds the LIBOR Rate as of the last date that the LIBOR
Rate was used to calculate interest hereunder, plus (C) the Applicable Margin, until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. Any Lender that has given Borrower and Agent the notice
described in the immediately preceding sentence shall, promptly following the 

  
 - 68 -

 
termination of the circumstances to which such notice relates, give notice of the termination of such circumstances to Agent and Borrower and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender
shall, in accordance with Section 2.9(a), thereafter accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire
Eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBOR Rate. 
 2.16
Capital Requirements. 
 (a) If, after the date hereof, and without duplication of Section 2.14(l),
2.15(a)(i) or 2.17(a), Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or (ii) compliance by Issuing Bank or such Lender or their
respective parent bank holding companies with any guideline, request or directive of any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on Issuing Bank’s, such
Lender’s, or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of Issuing Bank or such Lender’s commitments hereunder to a level below that which Issuing Bank, such Lender or such holding companies could have achieved but for such
Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration Issuing Bank’s, such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital in
accordance with such policies) by any amount deemed by Issuing Bank or such Lender to be material, then Issuing Bank or such Lender may notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay Issuing Bank or such
Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by Issuing Bank or such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail
Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, Issuing Bank or such Lender
may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of Issuing Bank or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s right to
demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that Issuing Bank or such Lender
notifies Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if such claim arises by reason of a Change in Law that is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (b) If
Issuing Bank or any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.14(l) or 2.15(a)(i) or amounts under Section 2.16(a) or sends a notice under Section 2.14(l) or 2.11(a)(ii)
relative to changed circumstances (such Issuing Bank or Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14(l),
2.15(a)(i) or 2.16(a), as applicable, or would eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would
not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected 

  
 - 69 -

 
Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s obligation to pay any future
amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(l), 2.15(a)(i) or 2.16(a), as applicable, or to enable Borrower to obtain LIBOR Rate Loans, then Borrower (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected
Lender under Section 2.14(l), 2.15(a)(i) or 2.16(a), as applicable) may (unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under
Section 2.14(l), 2.15(a)(i) or 2.16(a), as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans) designate a different Issuing Bank or substitute a Lender, in each case,
reasonably acceptable to Agent to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such
Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and commitments, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender, which such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be “Issuing Bank” or a “Lender” (as the
case may be) for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be “Issuing Bank” or a “Lender” (as the case may be) for purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the designation of such a Replacement
Lender, the Affected Lender shall, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under Section 2.14(l), 2.15(a)(i) or 2.16(a), as applicable,
or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the
Replacement Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including
(1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the Letters of Credit). 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protection of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 shall be
available to Issuing Bank and each Lender (as applicable) regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall
have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for issuing banks or lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, neither Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to
Section 2.14(l), 2.15(a)(i) or 2.16(a) if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of Issuing Bank or such Lender (as the case may be) to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable
provisions of other credit agreements, if any. 
 2.17 Withholding Taxes. 

(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other
defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Indemnified Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes is required, Borrower shall
comply with the next sentence of this Section 2.17(a). If any Indemnified Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every
payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 2.17(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes, will not be less than the
amount provided for herein; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts to the extent that the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross
negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Indemnified Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts
evidencing such payment by Borrower. Borrower agrees to pay any 

  
 - 70 -

 
present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (b)
If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting
the participation only) one of the following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement: 
 (i) if such Lender or
Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a
“bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the meaning
of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); 
 (ii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN;

 (iii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States
withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (iv) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender or Participant serves as an intermediary, a
properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); or 
 (v) a properly completed and executed
copy of any other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax. 

(c) Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously
delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 

(d) If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender or
such Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition
to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, provided, that
nothing in this Section 2.17(d) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential (including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms
(or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would
modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 

  
 - 71 -

 (e) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and
such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a
participation interest, to the Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent
will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Participant or Assignee may provide new
documentation, pursuant to Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c), if applicable. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 2.17 with respect to its participation in any portion of the
Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in this Section 2.17 with respect thereto. 
 (f) If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any
interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) are
not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or
such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. 
 (g)
If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or
for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent (or such
Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent
harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting
the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) under
this Section 2.17, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the
resignation or replacement of Agent. 
 (h) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its Permitted Discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Indemnified Taxes to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to
the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges, imposed by the applicable Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent

  
 - 72 -

 
hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 

2.18 Cash Management. 
 (a) Servicer shall (i) establish Deposit Accounts in the name of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and maintain with respect to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries Cash Management Services of a
type and on terms satisfactory to Agent at one or more of the banks set forth on Schedule 2.18(a) (each, a “Cash Management Bank”), including lock-box arrangements, with respect to such Deposit Accounts, (ii) request in
writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all Portfolio Companies forward payment of the amounts owed by them to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries directly to the Collection Account or, in the case of payments in respect of

Subsidiaries or to a Cash Management Account that is not the Collection Account) into the Collection Account or the Split-Funded Loan Collection Account, as applicable. 
 (b) Each Deposit Account of Borrower shall be subject to a Control Agreement or other method of perfection, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent and Trustee (each such Deposit
Account, a “Cash Management Account”). Each Control Agreement relating to each such Cash Management Account shall provide, among other things, that (i) the Cash Management Bank will comply with any instructions originated by
Trustee directing the disposition of the funds in such Cash Management Account without further consent by Borrower, Servicer, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as applicable, (ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of
setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Cash Management Account other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Cash Management Account and for returned checks or
other items of payment, (iii) in the case of the Cash Management Account which is the Collection Account, the Collection Account Bank will forward or permit Agent to forward, by daily sweep to be received the same Business Day, all good funds
in the Collection Account to the Trust Account and the Collection Account Bank will forward or permit Agent to forward, by daily sweep to be received the same Business Day, all good funds in the Trust Account to the Agent’s Account for
application as required by the terms of Section 2.7(b) of this Agreement, and (iv) in the case of the Cash Management Account which is the Split-Funded Loan Collection Account, the Collection Account Bank will forward or permit
Agent to forward, by daily sweep to be received the same Business Day, 50% of all good funds in the Split-Funded Loan Collection Account to the Trust Account and 50% of all good funds in the Split-Funded Loan Collection Account to the account
specified therefor by the DZ Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collection Account Bank will forward or permit Agent to forward, by daily sweep to be received the same Business Day, all good funds in the Trust Account to
the Agent’s Account for application as required by the terms of Section 2.7(b) of this Agreement. 
 (c) So long
as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may amend Schedule 2.18(a) to add or replace a Cash Management Bank or a Cash Management Account; provided, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank
shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to the establishment of such Cash Management Account with the prospective Cash Management Bank, and (ii) prior to making a deposit in such Cash
Management Account, Borrower (or Servicer or its Subsidiary, as applicable) and such prospective Cash Management Bank shall have executed and delivered to Trustee (with a copy to Agent) a Control Agreement. Borrower (or Servicer or its Subsidiaries,
as applicable) shall close any of 

  
 - 73 -

 
its Cash Management Accounts (and establish replacement Cash Management Accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within 30 days of notice from Agent that the
creditworthiness of any Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days of notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or
availability procedures or performance of the Cash Management Bank with respect to any Cash Management Account is no longer acceptable in Agent’s Permitted Discretion. 
 (d) Borrower hereby grants a Lien to Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, in each of Borrower’s Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, including the Collection Account, the Split-Funded
Collection Account, and each Cash Management Account, and each such Deposit Account and Securities Account shall be subject to a Control Agreement or the Trustee’s Liens thereon shall be otherwise perfected to the satisfaction of Agent.

 (e) All sums received in the Collection Account, when available as good funds, shall be transmitted directly to and received
in the Trust Account each Business Day. Fifty percent of all sums received in the Split-Funded Collection Account, when available as good funds, shall be transmitted directly to and received in the Trust Account each Business Day and fifty percent
of all sums received in the Split-Funded Collection Account, when available as good funds, shall be transmitted directly to the account specified therefor by the DZ Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. All sums received in the Trust
Account, when available as good funds, shall be transmitted directly to and received in the Agent’s Account each Business Day for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Whenever sums are transmitted to
the Agent’s Account, Borrower or Servicer shall identify the portions that are payments with respect to Portfolio Loans, Purchase Participations, Split-Funded Loans or other Collateral (which shall then be applied to payment of the Obligations
in accordance herewith). 
 2.19 Substitution of Loans; Voluntary Repurchases of Loans; Defaulted Loan

Purchased Participation with one or more Eligible Loans (each, a “Substitute Loan”); provided that no such replacement shall occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date of such replacement and
substitution:

 - 83 -

 
with the terms of this Agreement or (iii) in default and Borrower (or Servicer, an agent or lead lender) is commencing foreclosure proceedings against the Portfolio Loan Collateral securing

Agent. When Portfolio Loan Collateral that becomes owned by Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries is sold by such Person in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Trustee shall release the Trustee’s Liens in such property upon acceptable
arrangements being made for Trustee to receive (i) the cash proceeds from such sale (net of reasonable and customary costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith) in the Collection Account or the Split-Funded Collection Account, as

Section 3.4. 
 (e) Borrower represents to Trustee, Agent, and the Lender Group that: (a) all necessary
financing statements and (b) all related financing statement amendments or assignments in order to cause Borrower (or a representative of Borrower in accordance with the terms of an effective written secured party representative agreement

evidenced by all Portfolio Loan Documents with respect to all Portfolio Loan Collateral existing as of the Closing Date and as of the date of each Advance (or other extension of credit hereunder) thereafter, and that such filings remain effective as
of such date. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Agent, Borrower covenants that it will take all action necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such filings so long as Borrower has any commitment to extend credit under such Portfolio Loans or
Purchased Participations or any sum remains owing under such Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation. Borrower and Servicer, on Borrower’s behalf, agree to file any UCC-3 statements of continuation, assignment or amendment requested by Agent
as Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to enable it to protect and maintain its interests under this Agreement. If Borrower or Servicer, as applicable, refuses or fails to file any such UCC-3 statements within a reasonable period (as
determined by Agent in its sole discretion) of time following the request of Agent or Trustee to do so, Trustee is authorized to, and at the written direction of Agent (and at the expense of Borrower) shall, file any UCC-3 statements of
continuation, assignment or amendment as may be determined by Agent to be necessary to enable Trustee to protect and maintain its interests under this Agreement. Borrower represents to Agent and Trustee that all filings and recordations, and all
related assignments, have been filed or recorded in all jurisdictions as may be required to perfect and protect in favor of Borrower all of Borrower’s liens or security interests evidenced by Portfolio Loan Documents existing as of the Closing
Date and on the date of each Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, and that such filings and recordations remain effective as of such date. 
 (f) Each time that Borrower (or the initial Servicer on behalf of Borrower) shall direct or cause the acquisition of any Permitted Investment, Borrower shall (or the initial Servicer on behalf of
Borrower) cause such Permitted Investment to be subject to the Trustee’s Lien in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The security interest of Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, in the funds or other property utilized in
connection with such acquisition shall, immediately and without further action on the part of Trustee or any member of the Lender Group, be released. The security interest of Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, shall nevertheless come into

 (g) Borrower (or the initial Servicer on behalf of Borrower) shall cause all Portfolio Loan Documents consisting of Negotiable Collateral, and other Collateral for which perfection or priority of
Trustee’s Liens is dependent on or enhanced by possession, acquired by Borrower to be delivered to 

  
 - 84 -

 
Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, and shall take any and all other actions necessary to create in favor of Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, a valid, perfected, first
priority security interest in each Portfolio Loan, Purchased Participation, or other Permitted Investment granted to Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, under laws and regulations (including without limitation Articles 8 and 9 of the Code,
as applicable) in effect at the time of such grant). 
 (h) Borrower agrees that (a) it will take any and all reasonable
steps for Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, to obtain control in accordance with Sections 8-106, 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the Code with respect to all of Borrower’s Securities Accounts, Deposit Accounts, electronic chattel

arrangement contemplated hereby or by any Control Agreement in respect of any Deposit Account, Securities Accounts or other Investment Related Property shall be modified by Borrower or Trustee without the prior written consent of Agent. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Material Default, Agent may direct Trustee in writing to, and upon such written direction Trustee will, notify any depository institution or securities intermediary to liquidate the applicable Deposit
Account, Securities Account or any related Investment Related Property maintained or held thereby and remit the proceeds thereof to the Collection Account (or, if required by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Split-Funded Collection Account).

 5.2 Servicer Affirmative Covenants. Servicer covenants and agrees that, until
termination of all of the Commitments and payment in full of the Obligations: 
 (a) Existence. Except as otherwise
permitted under Section 6.1(c) or Section 6.1(d), Servicer will, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect such Servicer’s valid existence in its jurisdiction of organization and, except as could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, good standing with respect to all other jurisdictions in which it is qualified to do business and any rights, franchises, permits, licenses, accreditations, authorizations, or other
approvals material to its businesses. 
 (b) Maintenance of Properties. Servicer will maintain and preserve all of its
assets that are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its and Borrower’s businesses in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear, casualty, and condemnation and Permitted Dispositions excepted (and except where the failure to
so maintain and preserve assets could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect). 
 (c) Taxes.
Servicer will pay in full before delinquency or before the expiration of any extension period all material governmental assessments and taxes imposed, levied, or assessed against it, or any of its assets or in respect of any of its income,
businesses, or franchises, except to the extent that the validity of such governmental assessment or tax is the subject of a Permitted Protest. 
 (d) Insurance. Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions
insurance policy covering the Servicer’s, Borrower’s, and Borrower’s Subsidiaries’ officers and employees in connection with its activities under this Agreement in an amount not less than $2,000,000. In addition, Servicer shall
continue to maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement such insurance as it maintains as of the Closing Date covering the Servicer, Borrower, and Borrower Subsidiaries and the Collateral and
in the same coverage amounts. Coverage of the Servicer, Borrower and Borrower’s Subsidiaries under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 5.2(d) shall satisfy
the requirements of this Section 5.2(d). Coverage shall be in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and, in any event, in amount,
adequacy, and scope reasonably satisfactory to Agent (it being agreed that the amount, adequacy, and scope of the policies of insurance of Borrower in effect as of the Closing Date are acceptable to Agent). All property insurance policies covering
the Collateral, if any, are to be made payable to Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, as their interests may appear, in case of loss solely with respect to the Collateral, pursuant to a standard loss payable endorsement with a standard non
contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as Agent may reasonably require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such
policies. All certificates of property and general liability insurance are to be delivered to Trustee and Agent, with the loss payable (but only in respect of Collateral) and additional insured endorsements in favor of Trustee and shall provide for
not less than 30 days (10 days in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Trustee and Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation. If Servicer fails to maintain such insurance, Trustee (at the direction of Agent) or Agent may arrange
for such insurance, but at Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on Trustee’s or Agent’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Trustee shall have the sole right (at the direction of Agent and at the sole expense of Borrower) to file claims under any property liability insurance solely with respect to
any Collateral and general liability insurance policies solely with respect to Collateral, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder solely with respect to any Collateral, and to execute any and all
endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies solely with respect to any Collateral.

of the Schedules hereto.

Trustee, execute or deliver to Agent or Trustee, as applicable, any and all Additional Loan Party Documents that Agent or Trustee may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent or Trustee, as applicable, to create,

reasonably requested Additional Loan Party Documents within a reasonable period of time following the request to do so, Servicer hereby authorizes Trustee, at the written direction of Agent, to execute any such Additional Loan Party Documents in
Servicer’s name and authorizes Agent to file such executed Additional Loan Party Documents in any appropriate filing office.

account for, and deliver to Trustee any Collections with respect to the Loan Portfolio that Servicer or Borrower receives following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.11(b). 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Lender Group of their rights hereunder shall not
release Borrower from any of its duties or responsibilities with respect to the Loan Portfolio and shall not, prior to the Transition Completion Date, release Servicer from any of its duties under this Section 9 or from any liability
with respect to any such duties. The Lender Group and Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to the Loan Portfolio (except as otherwise provided herein in the case of Trustee), nor shall any of them be obligated to perform
any of the obligations of Servicer hereunder. 

  
 - 116 -

 (c) Each of Borrower, Trustee, and the Lender Group hereby authorizes Servicer (including
any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of Servicer and not inconsistent with the sale of the Loan Portfolio to Borrower under the Sale Agreement and,
thereafter, the pledge by Borrower to Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, hereunder, to collect all amounts due under the Loan Portfolio, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments
representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loan Portfolio and, after the
delinquency of any Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation included therein, and to the extent permitted under and subject to Section 9.7, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as
Servicer could have done if it had continued to own the Loan Portfolio. Borrower, and Trustee, on behalf of the Lender Group, shall furnish Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Loan Portfolio. In no event shall Servicer be
entitled to make any member of the Lender Group or Trustee a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection
procedure) without the Agent’s consent in its Permitted Discretion. Foreclosure shall not be made in the name of Trustee without the express written consent of the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion. 

9.3 Servicer’s Reporting Duties. Servicer will, until the Servicing Termination Date, provide such reports and
information with respect to the Loan Portfolio as may be requested by Agent or Trustee pursuant to Section 9.12 of this Agreement. Without limitation, until the Servicing Termination Date, Servicer or Borrower will timely deliver to
Trustee or Agent, as applicable, all reporting required by Section 9.12 of this Agreement and any other items or information in respect of the Portfolio Loans and Purchased Participations required to be delivered by Borrower to Trustee
or Agent from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, in each case in form satisfactory to Agent. 
 9.4 Servicing
Fee. In consideration of Servicer’s services, prior to the Transition Completion Date, Borrower shall be allowed to pay to Servicer, and the Lender Group shall permit Borrower to pay to Servicer, a servicing fee in an amount agreed
between Borrower and Servicer in the Servicer Fee Letter (the “Servicing Fee”). 
 9.5 Servicer’s
Performance; Standard of Care and Diligence. At all times Servicer shall perform its duties under this Agreement with respect to the Loan Portfolio in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable laws and in accordance with the
Required Procedures and prudent industry standards for the servicing and management of similar property. Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize Collections in respect of the Loan Portfolio. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Servicer will not engage or use any sub-servicer or agent in connection with its obligations under this Agreement. 

9.6 Compromise Authority. Unless and until otherwise instructed by Agent at any time when an Event of Default is in
existence, Servicer shall have authority in its sole discretion, subject to Section 9.5, to compromise and settle Portfolio Loans and to consent to the compromise and settlement of Purchased Participations and other obligations included
in the Loan Portfolio, provided, that Servicer has concluded, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such compromise and settlement is necessary for maximizing the value of the Loan Portfolio, or in the best interests of Borrower.

  
 - 117 -

 9.7 Litigation; Court Costs; Professional Costs. Servicer will not institute
legal proceedings for collection against a Portfolio Company in respect of a Portfolio Loan, or consent to such action in respect of a Purchased Participation unless Servicer has determined, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that to do so is
reasonably expected to enhance the likelihood of maximizing the amount recoverable in respect of such Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation. Servicer will prosecute such legal proceedings as it deems appropriate or necessary, provided,
that following notice by Trustee (at the written direction of Agent) or Agent at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such proceedings shall be conducted solely at the direction of Agent. Each of Servicer and Borrower
shall be solely responsible for payment of all Collection Costs to the extent not recovered by Servicer directly from Portfolio Companies; provided that Borrower shall reimburse Servicer for any such amounts actually paid by Servicer in accordance
with the Servicer Fee Letter. 
 9.8 Servicer’s Additional Covenants. In addition to the other covenants and
agreements made by Servicer under this Agreement, Servicer covenants and agrees that during the term of this Agreement, it will timely perform, or confirm that Borrower timely performs, each of the following:

which Servicer has notice: (i) sale or transfer of any material Portfolio Loan Collateral not in the ordinary course of business, (ii) to the extent Borrower or Servicer have knowledge thereof, any change of address, death, incapacity,

by Trustee (at the written direction of Agent) to Trustee or such other parties as is consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to hold possession as agent, bailee, custodian and in trust for the benefit of and on behalf of
Trustee, as holder of a first priority security interest granted by Borrower to Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group; 

(l) use proceeds of Advances to make advances under the Portfolio Loans to or for the account of Portfolio Companies on behalf of

party of Borrower, and Servicer shall be an independent contractor and not an agent of Trustee. Notwithstanding the occurrence and continuation of such Servicer Termination Event and the delivery of notice thereof to Servicer, for so long as
Servicer continues to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.7, the Servicing Fee with respect to such period and such other

in accordance with this Section 10.1. Until Agent shall give to U.S. Bank a Trustee 

  
 - 123 -

 
Termination Notice, U.S. Bank is hereby appointed as, and hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and of the
other Loan Documents to which it, as Trustee, is a party. 
 (b) Successor Trustee. Upon Trustee’s receipt of a
Trustee Termination Notice from Agent of the designation of a successor Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.5, Trustee agrees that it will terminate its activities as Trustee hereunder. 

(c) Appointment. Agent and each other member of the Lender Group (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product
Provider shall be deemed to authorize) hereby appoint U.S. Bank in its capacity as Trustee, as their trustee for purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral. U.S. Bank in its capacity as Trustee, hereby accepts such appointment
and agrees to perform the duties set forth in Section 10.2(b) and 10.2(c). Agent and each other member of the Lender Group (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize)
hereby further authorizes Trustee to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. 
 10.2 Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) Appointment. Borrower and Agent
each hereby appoints U.S. Bank to act as Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group. Trustee hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to
which it, as Trustee, is a party. 
 (b) Duties. From the Closing Date until its removal pursuant to
Section 10.5, Trustee shall perform, on behalf of Agent and the Lender Group, the following duties and obligations: 
 (i) Trustee shall take and retain custody of the Portfolio Loan Documents delivered by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and
conditions of hereof or thereof, as applicable, as bailee for the purposes of the relevant Code, all for the benefit of the Lender Group and subject to the Trustee’s Lien. Within two Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan File,
Trustee shall review such Required Loan File to confirm that (A) such Required Loan File has been executed and has no missing or mutilated pages, (B) there is evidence that Code and other filings (to extent identified on the related Loan
Checklist) have been made, (C) if listed on the Loan Checklist, an insurance policy exists with respect to any real or personal property constituting the Portfolio Loan Collateral, and (D) the related original Portfolio Loan or Purchased
Participation balance, loan number assigned to such Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation, if any, and Portfolio Company name with respect to such Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation is referenced on the related Loan Checklist and is not a
duplicate Loan (based on the Loan number) (such items (A) through (D) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by Trustee, in connection with each delivery of Required Loan Files
hereunder to Trustee, Servicer shall provide to Trustee an electronic file (in Microsoft EXCEL® or a comparable
format) that contains the Portfolio Loan number, Portfolio Company name, original loan balance and the related Loan Checklist. At the conclusion of such review, Trustee shall deliver to Servicer, Borrower and Agent a collateral receipt in the form
of Exhibit C-2 attached hereto (a “Collateral Receipt”). If any Collateral Receipt discloses any deficiencies from the Review Criteria (a “Deficiency”) in any of the Required Loan Files, Trustee shall
promptly notify Agent and Servicer of such Deficiency and provide them with an exception report specifying the Portfolio Loans or Purchased Participations which have a Deficiency and the Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy (each such report,
an “Exceptions Report”). 

  
 - 124 -

 (ii) Trustee makes no representations as to the enforceability of any Portfolio Loan
Documents or the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Portfolio Loan Collateral, and Trustee’s duties as agent shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

Trustee’s customary standards for such custody, at the locations specified on Schedule 10.2(b)(iii) attached hereto, or at such other office as shall be specified to Agent and Servicer by Trustee in a written notice delivered at least 45
days prior to such change. All Portfolio Loan Documents shall be identified using a barcode system and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. 
 (iv) On the third Business Day of each month, Trustee shall provide to Agent and Servicer (in a form acceptable to Agent and Trustee) an updated list of Portfolio Loan Documents in its possession and an
updated Exceptions Report. 
 (v) In performing its custodial duties, Trustee shall use the same degree of care and attention as
it employs with respect to similar collateral that it holds as custodian for others. 
 (c) Each of Agent and each other member
of the Lender Group further authorizes Trustee to take such action as Trustee hereunder and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loans Documents as are delegated to Trustee by the terms hereof and thereof. In furtherance, and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each member of the Lender Group hereby appoints Trustee as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that Agent deems necessary and directs
in writing in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the execution by Trustee as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising,
and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this Section 10.2(c) shall be deemed to relieve Servicer or Borrower of its obligation to protect the interest of
Trustee (for the benefit of the Lender Group) in the Collateral, including filing financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral in accordance with Sections 5.1(j) and 11.4. 

(d) Agent may direct Trustee in writing to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental
to the actions specifically delegated to Trustee hereunder, Trustee shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from
acting) upon the written direction of Agent; provided, that Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of Trustee, (x) shall be in violation of any applicable
law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose Trustee to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received a reasonably satisfactory indemnity with respect thereto). In the event the Trustee requests the consent
of the Administrative Agent and the Trustee does not receive a response (either consenting or declining to consent) from the Administrative Agent with 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to
have declined to consent to the relevant action. 
 (e) Except as expressly provided herein, Trustee shall not be under any duty
or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any of the Portfolio Loan Documents (i) unless and until expressly so directed by Agent or (ii) prior to
the occurrence of the Maturity Date pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of 

  
 - 125 -

 
“Maturity Date” (and upon such occurrence, Trustee shall act in accordance with the written instructions of Agent pursuant to clause (i)). Trustee shall not be liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any member of the Lender Group, to the extent that this Agreement provided such member of the Lender Group has the right to so direct Trustee, or Agent. Trustee
shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless an Authorized Person of Trustee has actual knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is actually received by an Authorized Person
of Trustee. Trustee shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, (b) Trustee shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers and (c) Trustee shall not be named owner of any
life insurance policy or be required to pay premiums on such life insurance policy. Trustee shall have no responsibility for or be required to make decisions with respect liens or security interests in the Collateral and may rely solely on the
directions of Agent and the Lender Group in respect thereof. Except for performance of its obligations expressly set forth herein and in any Loan Document to which it is or becomes a party, Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the
enforceability or perfection of such liens or security interests in the Collateral. 
  

	 	10.3	Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (i) into which Trustee may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation
to which Trustee shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of Trustee substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of Trustee
hereunder, shall be the successor to Trustee under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. 

  

	 	10.4	Trustee Compensation. As compensation for its Trustee activities hereunder, Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee and other amounts payable to it
pursuant to the Trustee Fee Letter. Trustee’s entitlement to receive the Trustee Fee and such other amounts shall cease (excluding any outstanding amounts unpaid as of such date) on the earlier to occur of (i) its removal as Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.5 or (ii) the Maturity Date. 

  

	 	10.5	Trustee Removal. Trustee may be removed, with or without cause, by Agent or the Required Lenders by notice given in writing to Trustee (the

provisions of this Section 10.10, Trustee shall give prompt notice to Borrower, Servicer and Agent that it has so ceased to be eligible to be Trustee. 
 11. SECURITY INTEREST. 
 11.1 Grant of Security Interest.
Borrower hereby unconditionally grants, assigns and pledges to Trustee, for the benefit of each member of the Lender Group, a continuing security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in all currently existing and hereafter
acquired or arising Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and to secure prompt performance by Borrower of its covenants and duties under the Loan
Documents. The Trustee’s Liens in and to the Collateral shall attach to all Collateral without further act on the part of Trustee, any member of the Lender Group, or any Loan Party. Anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to the contrary notwithstanding, except for Permitted Dispositions, no Loan Party has authority, express or implied, to dispose of any item or portion of the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as
expressly set forth herein to the contrary, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party to Trustee, Agent, the Lender Group, the Bank Product
Providers or any of them, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving Borrower or any other Loan Party due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding.

 11.2 Borrower Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Borrower shall remain
liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by Trustee or any other member of the
Lender Group of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) none of the members of the Lender Group shall have any
obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any of the members of the Lender Group be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower thereunder or
to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Until a Material Default shall occur and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall have the right to
possession and enjoyment of the Collateral for the purpose of conducting the ordinary course of its business, subject to and upon the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. 

11.3 Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Material Default or a Servicer Termination Event, Trustee may, and at the written direction of Agent will, notify Portfolio Companies and Account Debtors 

  
 - 129 -

 
of Borrower that Borrower’s Portfolio Loans, Purchased Participations, Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles have been assigned to Trustee or that Trustee has a security interest
therein. Further, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Material Default or a Servicer Termination Event, Agent may (a) terminate Servicer and cause a replacement servicer to take possession of (to the extent not in
the possession of Trustee), and collect, Borrower’s Portfolio Loans, Purchased Participations, Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles, or (b) terminate Servicer and collect Borrower’s Portfolio Loans, Purchased
Participations, Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Borrower and Servicer each agrees that it will, hold in trust as trustee for Trustee, as Lender Group’s
trustee, any Collections that it receives and immediately will deliver said Collections to Trustee or a Cash Management Bank in their original form as received by Borrower. 

 

	 	11.4	Filing of Financing Statements; Commercial Tort Claims; Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. 

(a) Borrower authorizes Trustee or Agent to file in any appropriate filing office: (i) any financing statement describing Collateral
to perfect Trustee’s Liens in any of the Collateral, and Agent or Trustee may describe the Collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” of Borrower or describe specific items of Collateral including without
limitation any Commercial Tort Claims, and (ii) any amendment or continuation of any filed financing statement. All financing statements filed before the date of this Agreement to perfect the Trustee’s Liens were authorized by Borrower and
are hereby ratified. 
 (b) If Borrower acquires any commercial tort claim after the date hereof, Borrower shall promptly (but in
any event within five (5) Business Days) after such acquisition) deliver to Trustee and Agent a written description of such commercial tort claim and shall deliver a written agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, granting to
Trustee, as security for the payment of the Obligations, a perfected security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to such commercial tort claim. 
 (c) At any time upon the request of Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Trustee, any and all financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements of
certificates of title, and all other documents (the “Additional Borrower Documents”) that Agent may request in their Permitted Discretion, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, to create, perfect and continue perfected or
better perfect the Trustee’s Liens in the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Group, in any Real Property acquired after the Closing
Date, and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and to the extent that Borrower fails to execute and deliver such Additional
Borrower Documents within a reasonable time (as determined by Agent in its sole discretion) following Agent’s request therefor, Borrower authorizes Trustee to execute any such Additional Borrower Documents in Borrower’s name and authorizes
Agent or Trustee to file such executed Additional Borrower Documents in any appropriate filing office. In addition, on such periodic basis as Agent shall reasonably require, Borrower shall (i) provide Agent and Trustee with a report of all new
patentable, copyrightable, or trademarkable materials acquired or generated by Borrower during the prior period, (ii) cause all patents, copyrights, and trademarks acquired or generated by Borrower that are not already the subject of a
registration with the appropriate filing office (or an application therefor diligently prosecuted) to be registered with such appropriate filing office in a manner sufficient to impart constructive notice of Borrower’s ownership thereof, and
(iii) cause to be prepared, executed, and delivered to Agent and Trustee supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such patents, copyrights, and trademarks as being subject to the security interests created thereunder;
provided, that neither 

  
 - 130 -

 
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall register with the U.S. Copyright Office any unregistered copyrights (whether in existence on the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, arising, or
developed) unless (A) Borrower provides Agent and Trustee with written notice of its intent to register such copyrights not less than 30 days prior to the date of the proposed registration, and (B) prior to such registration, the
applicable Person executes and delivers to Agent and Trustee a copyright security agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, supplemental schedules to any existing copyright security agreement, or such other documentation as Agent
reasonably deems necessary in order to perfect and continue perfected Trustee’s Liens on such copyrights following such registration. 
 11.5 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints Trustee (and any of Trustee’s officers, employees, or agents designated by Trustee) as
Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, with power to (a) if Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents described in Section 11.4, sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described
in Section 11.4, (b) at any time that a Material Default or Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Collateral, drafts against Portfolio
Companies, or notices to Portfolio Companies, (c) at any time that a Material Default or Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, send requests for verification of Accounts, (d) endorse Borrower’s name on any
Collection item that may come into Trustee‘s possession, including without limitation proceeds of insurance, (e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s

relating to any Collateral, (g) at any time that a Material Default or Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, prepare, file, and sign Borrower’s name to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any
Portfolio Company, or to any notice of lien, assignment, or satisfaction of lien or similar document in connection with any of the Collateral, (h) at any time that an a Material Default or Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is
continuing, receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower, and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Trustee may designate, (i) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment, computer hardware, and software relating to the Collateral, (j) at any time that an a Material Default or Servicer Termination Event has occurred
and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts, chattel paper, General Intangibles, Portfolio Loans, or Purchased Participations directly with Portfolio Companies, for amounts and upon terms that Agent determines to
be reasonable, and Trustee (at the written direction of Agent) or Agent may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Agent determines to be necessary, (k) at any time that an Event of Default or Servicer Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing, at any time file UCC-3 assignments reflecting Trustee as assignee of Borrower (or Servicer) with respect to UCC-1 financing statements filed by Borrower or Servicer in connection with Collateral, (l) at any
time that an a Material Default or Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, cause Portfolio Companies’ insurers to add Trustee as loss payee under the relevant insurance policy, and (m) upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, should Borrower, Servicer or any replacement servicer default in performance of its servicing obligations in respect of any Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation, or fail to take
any action necessary to preserve the ongoing performance, enforceability or value thereof then, in any such event, Agent shall have the right to take such action or cause Trustee to take such action as Agent may deem necessary in its sole discretion
to preserve the ongoing performance and enforceability of any such Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation and preserve the value thereof, respectively, including without limitation, taking any action that Borrower or Servicer is required or
authorized to take in respect thereof or to otherwise properly service same, or contract with any Person to take or perform any such actions. The appointment of Trustee as Borrower’s attorney, and each and every one of its rights and powers,
being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the 

  
 - 131 -

 
Obligations have been fully and finally repaid and performed and Lender Group’s obligations to extend credit hereunder are terminated. Any advances by Agent or any member of the Lender
Group, payments or other costs or expenses made or incurred by Agent or Trustee in taking any action authorized under this Section 11.5 shall be included within the Obligations and reimbursed to Agent or Trustee, as applicable, on demand
or, with respect to any payments made by Agent or any member of the Lender Group, at Agent’s discretion charged to the Loan Account and treated as Advances. Agent’s and Trustee’s rights under this Section 11.5 are
cumulative of all other rights of Agent and Trustee under the Loan Documents and may be exercised in whole or in part, in Agent’s discretion. Neither Agent nor Trustee shall have any obligation to take any action under this
Section 11.5, and no undertaking by Agent or Trustee under this Section 11.5 shall obligate Agent or Trustee to continue any such action or to take any other or additional action under this Section 11.5.

 11.6 Right to Inspect and Verify. Trustee, Agent and each Lender (through any of their respective officers,
employees, representatives, or agents) shall have the right, from time to time hereafter (a) to inspect and examine the Collateral and the Borrower’s and Servicer’s Books and Records, in each case solely in relation to the Borrower,
the Collateral, the Servicer’s duties hereunder, or the matters contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, to examine and make copies of such Books and Records, and to discuss Borrower’s and Servicer’s affairs, finances, and
accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and employees (provided an authorized representative of Borrower or Servicer shall be allowed to be present) at such reasonable times and intervals as Trustee, Agent or any Lender, as
applicable, may designate and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with reasonable prior notice to Borrower and during regular business hours, (b) at any time a Material Default or Servicer Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing, to communicate directly with any and all Portfolio Companies to verify the existence and terms of Collateral, and (c) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.13(e), to check, test, and
appraise the Collateral and to conduct stratifications of Servicer’s and its Subsidiaries total global portfolio of loans and participations, or any portion thereof, in order to verify Borrower’s and Servicer’s financial condition or
the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral, and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.13(e) and in accordance with Sections 5.1(c) and 5.2(e), Borrower and
Servicer shall permit any designated representative of Trustee, Agent or any Lender to visit and inspect any of the properties of Borrower or Servicer to inspect and to discuss Borrower’s finances and properties and the Collateral, during
normal business hours. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.6 shall grant Trustee, Agent, or any Lender any right of access to review of any legal files, credit analysis, or other documents and information specific only
to a particular Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation except with respect to the Loan Portfolio. 
 11.7 Servicing of

thereto, and (ii) taking of such action with respect to the Portfolio Loans and Purchased Participations as Borrower or Servicer may deem advisable, and (b) may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any Portfolio Company any
adjustment to which such Portfolio Company may be lawfully entitled, and may take such other actions relating to the settling of any such Portfolio Company’s claims as may be commercially reasonable, but in each case in accordance with
Borrower’s Required Procedures. Agent may, at its option, at any time or from time to time, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Application Event or a Servicer Termination Event or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement,
revoke the collection and servicing rights given to Borrower and Servicer herein by giving notice to Borrower and Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 - 132 -

(a) all necessary financing statements and (b) all related financing statement amendments or assignments in order to cause Borrower (or a representative of Borrower in accordance with the terms of an effective written secured party
representative agreement approved, in writing, by Agent) to be properly noted as secured party of record with respect thereto, have been filed in all filing locations as may be required to perfect and protect in favor of Borrower all security
interests, liens and rights evidenced by all Portfolio Loan Documents with respect to all personal property securing Borrower’s Portfolio Loans existing as of the Closing Date and as of the date of each Advance thereafter, and that such filings
remain effective as of such date. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Agent, Borrower covenants that it will take all action necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such filings so long as Borrower has any commitment to extend credit under such
Portfolio Loans or Purchased Participations or any sum remains owing under such Portfolio Loan or Purchased Participation. Agent and Trustee are each authorized to file any UCC-3 statements of continuation, assignment or amendment as it may
determine in its Permitted Discretion to be necessary to enable it to protect and maintain its interests under this Agreement. 
 12.

 12.2 The Lender Group’s
Liability for Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Agent and Trustee each materially complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code and the Loan Documents, neither Agent nor Trustee nor any member of the Lender

thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other
reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed
upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery (provided that Borrower shall not be liable for costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Lender (other than
Wells Fargo) incurred in advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering or syndicating the Loan Documents), enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of

that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall extend to Agent (but not the Lenders) relative to disputes between or among Agent on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand (except
to the extent resulting 

  
 - 133 -

 
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent), or (iii) any Taxes or any costs attributable to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17), (b) with respect
to any actual or prospective investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the making of any Advances or issuance of any Letters of Credit hereunder, or the use of the proceeds of the Advances or the

release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any

Person under this Section 12.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its

respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect
thereto in an amount no greater than the original Indemnified Liability.

penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this
indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of or related to the failure of Servicer to perform
any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any breach of any representation or warranty made by Servicer to any Indemnified Person in connection herewith that results to be untrue or misleading, performing any obligation
on behalf of Servicer, or any violation or claimed violation by Servicer (or by others acting on behalf of or at the direction of Servicer) of any applicable law. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON
WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Servicer shall have no
obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 12.4 that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations. Any amounts due under this Section 12.4 may not be paid from the Collateral or any
proceeds of the foregoing.

“COURT”) BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM AND THE WAIVER SET FORTH IN CLAUSE (c) ABOVE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE IN SUCH PROCEEDING, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 

(i) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MATTERS SPECIFIED IN SUBCLAUSE (ii) BELOW, ANY CLAIM SHALL BE DETERMINED BY A GENERAL
REFERENCE PROCEEDING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 THROUGH 645.1. THE PARTIES INTEND THIS GENERAL REFERENCE AGREEMENT TO BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCEABLE. VENUE FOR THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING SHALL BE
IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. 
 (ii) THE FOLLOWING MATTERS SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO A GENERAL REFERENCE
PROCEEDING: (A) NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE OF ANY SECURITY INTERESTS IN REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY, (B) EXERCISE OF SELF-HELP REMEDIES (INCLUDING SET-OFF OR RECOUPMENT), (C) APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER, AND (D) TEMPORARY, PROVISIONAL,
OR ANCILLARY REMEDIES (INCLUDING WRITS OF ATTACHMENT, WRITS OF POSSESSION, TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDERS, OR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS). THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO EXERCISE OR OPPOSE ANY OF THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES DESCRIBED
IN CLAUSES (A)—(D) AND ANY SUCH EXERCISE OR OPPOSITION DOES NOT WAIVE THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO PARTICIPATE IN A REFERENCE PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER MATTER. 

(iii) UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY, THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED JUDGE OR JUSTICE. IF
THE PARTIES DO NOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN 10 DAYS OF SUCH WRITTEN REQUEST, THEN, ANY PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST THE COURT TO APPOINT A REFEREE PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 640(B). THE REFEREE SHALL BE
APPOINTED TO SIT WITH ALL OF THE POWERS PROVIDED BY LAW. PENDING APPOINTMENT OF THE REFEREE, THE COURT SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO ISSUE TEMPORARY OR PROVISIONAL REMEDIES. 
 (iv) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE REFEREE SHALL DETERMINE THE MANNER IN WHICH THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING IS CONDUCTED INCLUDING THE TIME AND PLACE OF HEARINGS, THE ORDER OF
PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE, AND ALL OTHER QUESTIONS THAT ARISE WITH RESPECT TO THE COURSE OF THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING. ALL PROCEEDINGS AND HEARINGS CONDUCTED BEFORE THE REFEREE, EXCEPT FOR TRIAL, SHALL BE CONDUCTED WITHOUT A COURT REPORTER, EXCEPT
WHEN ANY PARTY SO REQUESTS A COURT REPORTER AND A TRANSCRIPT IS ORDERED, A COURT REPORTER SHALL BE USED AND THE REFEREE SHALL BE PROVIDED A COURTESY COPY OF THE TRANSCRIPT. THE PARTY MAKING SUCH REQUEST SHALL HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO ARRANGE FOR AND
PAY THE COSTS OF THE COURT REPORTER, PROVIDED THAT SUCH COSTS, ALONG WITH THE REFEREE’S FEES, SHALL ULTIMATELY BE BORNE BY THE PARTY WHO DOES NOT PREVAIL, AS DETERMINED BY THE REFEREE. 

  
 - 138 -

 (v) THE REFEREE MAY REQUIRE ONE OR MORE PREHEARING CONFERENCES. THE PARTIES
HERETO SHALL BE ENTITLED TO DISCOVERY, AND THE REFEREE SHALL OVERSEE DISCOVERY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF DISCOVERY, AND SHALL ENFORCE ALL DISCOVERY ORDERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS ANY TRIAL COURT JUDGE IN PROCEEDINGS AT LAW IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. 
 (vi) THE REFEREE SHALL APPLY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE APPLICABLE TO PROCEEDINGS AT LAW IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND SHALL DETERMINE ALL ISSUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL LAW. THE REFEREE SHALL BE EMPOWERED TO ENTER EQUITABLE AS WELL AS LEGAL RELIEF AND RULE ON ANY MOTION WHICH WOULD BE AUTHORIZED IN A TRIAL, INCLUDING
MOTIONS FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT OR SUMMARY JUDGMENT. THE REFEREE SHALL REPORT HIS OR HER DECISION, WHICH REPORT SHALL ALSO INCLUDE FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. THE REFEREE SHALL ISSUE A DECISION AND PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE, SECTION 644, THE REFEREE’S DECISION SHALL BE ENTERED BY THE COURT AS A JUDGMENT IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF THE ACTION HAD BEEN TRIED BY THE COURT. THE FINAL JUDGMENT OR ORDER FROM ANY APPEALABLE DECISION OR ORDER ENTERED BY THE REFEREE
SHALL BE FULLY APPEALABLE AS IF IT HAS BEEN ENTERED BY THE COURT. 
 (vii) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT
ALL CLAIMS RESOLVED IN A GENERAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING PURSUANT HERETO WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY HERETO KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION SHALL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM THAT ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 

15. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 
 15.1 Assignments and Participations. 
 (a)    (i)
Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (a)(ii) below, any Lender may assign and delegate all or any portion of its rights and duties under the Loan Documents (including the Obligations owed to it and its Commitments) to one or more
assignees (each, an “Assignee”), with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Agent, Swing Lender, and Issuing Bank, and, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is
continuing, Borrower. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) no assignment may be made to a natural person, 
 (B) no assignment may be made to any Person unless such assignment is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the Securities Act and such laws, and is made only to either an “accredited investor” as defined in paragraphs (a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or any entity in which all of the equity
owners come within such paragraphs or to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, 

  
 - 139 -

 (C) no assignment may be made to a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party, 

(D) the amount of the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of the assigning Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent) shall be in a minimum amount (unless waived by Agent) of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount
shall not apply to (I) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender, or a Related Fund of such Lender or (II) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund of
such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000), 
 (E)
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, 
 (F) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Acceptance; provided, that Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning
Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrower and Agent by
such Lender and the Assignee, 
 (G) unless waived by Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent, for
Agent’s separate account, a processing fee in the amount of $3,500, and 
 (H) the assignee shall deliver to Agent and
Borrower a Transferee Letter and, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in a form approved by Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”). 

(b) From and after the date that Agent receives the executed Assignment and Acceptance and Transferee Letter and, if applicable, payment
of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a “Lender” and
shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Sections 12.3 and 12.4) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, that nothing contained herein shall release any
assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 17 and Section 18.9(a). 

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance and Transferee Letter, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee
thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished
pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan 

  
 - 140 -

 
Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent and Trustee to take such actions
and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to it, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will
perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d)
Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 15.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the
extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

 (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a
“Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents; provided, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the
Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection
with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment
to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final
maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of
the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of,
the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) decreases the amount or postpones the due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such
Participant through such Lender, (v) no participation shall be sold to a natural person, (vi) no participation shall be sold to a Loan Party, an Affiliate of a Loan Party, (vi) no participation shall be sold to any Person unless such
Person has delivered a Transferee Letter to Agent and Borrower and sale of such participation is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities
Act and such laws, and is made only to either an “accredited investor” as defined in paragraphs (a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or any entity in which all of the equity owners come within
such paragraphs or to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and (vii) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation,
except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off
in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same 

  
 - 141 -

 
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating
Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Trustee, Lenders, Agent, Borrower, the Collections of Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. 

(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest
in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 18.9, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and their respective businesses. 
 (g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any
time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR
§203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
 15.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, that Borrower may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations or
Duties unless such Obligation or Duty is expressly released in writing in accordance herewith. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 15.1
and, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

16. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 

16.1 Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than Bank Product Agreements or the Fee Letters), and no consent with respect to any
departure by Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and the Loan Parties that are party
thereto and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of

Supermajority Lenders, amend, modify, or eliminate the definition of (i) Borrowing Base or any of the defined terms (including the definitions of Preliminary Eligible Portfolio Loan, Eligible Life Insurance, Preliminary Eligible Split-Funded
Loan, Eligible Portfolio Loan, Eligible Split-Funded Loan, or Concentration Limits but without prejudice any rights of Agent expressly set forth therein) that are used in such definition to the extent that any such change results in more credit

 (g) Anything in this
Section 16.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates

 16.2 Replacement of Certain
Lenders. 
 (a) If (i) any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the consent,
authorization, or agreement of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but not of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby, or (ii) any
Lender makes a claim for compensation under Section 2.17, then Borrower or Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement (a
“Non-Consenting Lender”) or any Lender that made a claim for compensation (a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to
refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is
given. 
 (b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and each

premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever, but including (i) all interest, fees and other amounts that may be due in payable in respect thereof, and (ii) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of participations in the Letters of Credit). If
the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, Agent may, but shall not be required to, execute and deliver such
Assignment and Acceptance in the name or and on behalf of the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and irrespective of whether Agent executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance, the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as
applicable, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 15.1. Until such
time as one or more Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall remain obligated to make the Non-Consenting Lender’s or Tax Lender’s, as applicable, Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an
amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of participations in such Letters of Credit. 

  
 - 144 -

 16.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Trustee, Agent or any
Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Trustee, Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Trustee, Agent or any Lender will be
effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Trustee, Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Trustee’s, Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require
strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement except as expressly waived by such Person. Trustee’s, Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right or remedy that Trustee, Agent or any Lender may have.

17.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Wells Fargo as its agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) Agent to execute and deliver each
of the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the Intercreditor Agreement) on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the
Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this Section 17. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect
to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in
effect: (a) maintain or cause to be maintained, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations and Duties, the Collateral, payments and proceeds of Collateral, and related
matters, (b) execute or file or cause to be executed or filed any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect
to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive (directly to the extent permitted herein or through Trustee), apply, and distribute payments and
proceeds of the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes,
(f) perform, exercise, and enforce or cause to be performed, exercised, or enforced any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to any Loan 

  
 - 145 -

 
Party, the Obligations, or Duties, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, including the determination of eligibility of Portfolio Loans and
Purchased Participations, the necessity and amount of reserves against the Borrowing Base, Borrower’s compliance with the Required Procedures and all other determinations and decisions relating to ordinary course administration of the credit
facilities contemplated hereunder, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

17.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or
through agents, employees or attorneys in fact (including Trustee) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney
in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 17.3
Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party
or their Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan
Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Loan Party. 
 17.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably (without any obligation on the part of Agent to make any inquiry or investigation in respect thereof)
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or Servicer or counsel to Trustee or any Lender),
independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it
so elects, the Bank Product Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and Bank
Product Providers). 
 17.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of
Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have 

  
 - 146 -

 
received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent
promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders
and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 17.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may
be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 
 17.6 Credit Decision. Each
Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Loan Party or its Affiliates,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to Trustee or any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Lender represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be
deemed to represent) to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and
made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Lender also represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person
party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide Trustee or any Lender (or Bank Product Provider)
with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the
Agent-Related Persons. Trustee and each Lender acknowledges (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide Trustee or such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to Borrower, Servicer, or their Affiliates or any of
their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a
party to this Agreement (or such Bank Product Provider entered into a Bank Product Agreement). 
 17.7 Costs and Expenses;
Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents,
including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security
guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent, Trustee, or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and
retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent (whether directly or from Trustee) to reimburse Agent for 

  
 - 147 -

 
such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrower
or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall
indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Lender
shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any
Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses
(including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this
Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 
 17.8 Agent
in Individual Capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire Equity Interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though Wells Fargo were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or
consent of Trustee or the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such
activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that
prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such
circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” include Wells Fargo in its individual capacity. 
 17.9 Successor
Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days (10 days’ if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrower (unless such notice
is waived by Borrower) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as Issuing Bank or the
Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as Issuing Bank or the Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit or to make Swing Loans.
If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material
provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably 

  
 - 148 -

 
withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and
duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Section 17 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30
days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. 
 17.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and
its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender
Group (or the Bank Product Providers). The other members of the Lender Group and Trustee acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such
Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that
prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a
waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. 

17.11 Collateral Matters. 
 (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent to release or direct Trustee to release any Lien
on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in
connection therewith and if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement, specifying the relevant section hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),
(iii) constituting property in which Borrower or its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time any Trustee’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this
Section 17.11. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders and subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 8.1(i), to (A) consent to, credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted
under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other
disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (C) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the
Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or
purchase, (1) the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to 

  
 - 149 -

 
contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such
sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be
disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive
interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of any
entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (2) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to
consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate
amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver or cause the execution or delivery of a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior
written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers), or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders (without requiring
the authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will (and if so requested, the Bank Product Providers will) confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or cause the release of any
such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 17.11; provided, that (I) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute
any document or take any action (including directing Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action) necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any
consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (II) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations, or Duties, or any Liens (other than those expressly released)
upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) any and all interests retained by Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Each Lender further hereby irrevocably authorizes (and
by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to irrevocably authorize) Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any Lien granted to or held by Trustee under
any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness. 
 (b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to Trustee or any of the Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers) (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or its
Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Trustee’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement or eliminate any particular reserve
hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to Agent or Trustee pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 

  
 - 150 -

 17.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. 

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is
lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with
such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any
Loan Document against Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
 (b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any
such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall
(A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the
Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received
shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is 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. 
 17.13 Agency for Perfection. Trustee hereby
appoints each Lender (and each Bank Product Provider) as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting
Trustee’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify
Agent and Trustee thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s or Trustee’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Trustee or in accordance with Trustee’s instructions. 

17.14 Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) shall be
made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment
(or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations. 
 17.15 Concerning the
Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the Intercreditor Agreement). Each member of the
Lender Group agrees (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to agree) that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the
Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and such Bank Product Provider). 

  
 - 151 -

 17.16 Field Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other
Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a) is deemed to have requested that
Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field examination report respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Report”) prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish
each Lender with such Reports, 
 (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, 
 (c)
expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly
upon Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrower’s personnel, 

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their operations,
assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 18.9, and 

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and
any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations
that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrower, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend
and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by 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. 
 (f) In addition to the foregoing, (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrower or its
Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrower or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is
entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Borrower or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such
Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Borrower or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a
copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender. 

17.17 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been
or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not
joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments.

  
 - 152 -

 
Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any
other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any
Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 17.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other
Person for any failure by any other Lender (or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf
of such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein. 
 18. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 18.1 Effectiveness . This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrower,
Servicer, Trustee, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof and all conditions precedent in Section 3.1 of this Agreement have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof.

 18.2 Section Headings . Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the
contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 
 18.3
Interpretation . Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been
reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 

18.4 Severability of Provisions . Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this
Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 
 18.5 Bank Product
Providers . Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby
agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and (a) by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the
benefits of the Loan Documents, and (b) Wells Fargo, in its capacity as a Bank Product Provider, appoints Agent as Wells Fargo’s agent with respect to any Bank Products provided by Wells Fargo or its Affiliates to Borrower or one of its
Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if
applicable, guarantees) granted to Trustee and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall
be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no
obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due
or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written 

  
 - 153 -

 
certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any
Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the applicable Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the
applicable Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any
Bank Product Provider, although Borrower is not required to do so. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in
the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or
be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as
Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors. 

18.6 Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties,
on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

 18.7 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding
effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. 
 18.8 Revival and
Reinstatement of Obligations. If any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider repays, refunds, restores, or returns in whole or in part, any payment or property (including any proceeds of Collateral) previously paid or
transferred to such member of the Lender Group or such Bank Product Provider in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation or on account of any other obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement, because the
payment, transfer, or the incurrence of the obligation so satisfied is asserted or declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to
fraudulent transfers, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable obligations or transfers (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such member of the Lender Group or Bank Product Provider elects to do so on the reasonable advice
of its counsel in connection with a claim that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is or may be a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such member of the Lender Group or Bank Product Provider elects
to repay, restore, or return (including pursuant to a settlement of any claim in respect thereof), and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of such member of the Lender Group or Bank Product Provider related thereto, (i) the
liability of the Loan Parties with respect to the amount or property paid, 

  
 - 154 -

 
refunded, restored, or returned will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist and (ii) Trustee’s Liens securing such liability shall be
effective, revived, and remain in full force and effect, in each case, as fully as if such Voidable Transfer had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (A) Trustee’s Liens shall have been released or terminated or (B) any
provision of this Agreement shall have been terminated or cancelled, Trustee’s Liens, or such provision of this Agreement, shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not
diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligation of any Loan Party in respect of such liability or any Collateral securing such liability. 
  

	18.9	Confidentiality. 

(a) Trustee, Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information
regarding Servicer, Borrower and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Trustee, Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner,
and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to Trustee or any member of the Lender Group and to
employees, directors and officers of Trustee or any member of the Lender Group (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Trustee or any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have
agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 18.9, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information,
(iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided that (1) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide the applicable
Loan Party with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute,
decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and (2) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or
judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by the applicable Loan Party, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process,
provided, that, (1) prior to any disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide the applicable Loan Party with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the
extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (2) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be
limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public
(other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Trustee, Agent or the Lenders or the Lender Group Representatives), (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge or proposed assignment, participation or pledge of any
Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information either subject to the
terms of this Section 18.9 or pursuant to confidentiality requirements substantially similar to those contained in this Section 18.9 (and such Person may disclose such Confidential Information to Persons employed or engaged
by such Person as described in clause (i) above), (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or
duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan Party, Trustee, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective
counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than any 

  
 - 155 -

 
Loan Party, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide the applicable Loan Party with prior written notice
thereof, and (x) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. 

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may disclose information concerning the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services or in its marketing or promotional materials, with such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or
marketing or promotional materials and may otherwise use the name, logos, and other insignia of Borrower or the other Loan Parties and the Commitments provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or other advertisements, on its website or in
other marketing materials of the Agent. Further, nothing in this Section 18.9 shall restrict or prohibit Agent, Trustee, Servicer, or any member of the Lender Group from issuing notices or otherwise complying with their respective
obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (c) The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that Trustee, Agent or their respective
Affiliates may make available to the Lenders or each other materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or Servicer hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials on IntraLinks,
SyndTrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan
Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized Trustee, Agent and their respective Affiliates and the Lenders to treat Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” or
otherwise at any time filed with the SEC as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. All Borrower Materials marked
“PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” (or another similar term). Trustee, Agent, and their respective Affiliates and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat
any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” or that are not at any time filed with the SEC as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor” (or such other similar term).

 18.10 Survival. All 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 and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Trustee, Agent, Issuing Bank, or any Lender 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 amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding or unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. 

18.11 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrower and Servicer
that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and Servicer, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and Servicer and other information that will
allow such Lender to identify Borrower and Servicer in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act
searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b)

  
 - 156 -

 
OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and Borrower and Servicer each agrees to cooperate in respect of the
conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Group Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrower. 

18.12 Currency Conversion. 
 (a) If, for any purpose hereunder, it becomes necessary on any date to convert any amount denominated in Canadian Dollars, then conversion shall be made at the prevailing Exchange Rate on such date.
Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Borrower hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of Canadian Dollars for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be
such Dollar Equivalent amount. Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of each date of determination to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts. Such Exchange Rate shall become effective as of such date of determination and shall be the
Exchange Rate employed in converting any amounts between Canadian Dollars and Dollars until the next date of determination occurs. 
 (b) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such
jurisdiction (herein called the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due hereunder in any currency other than the Judgment Currency, then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on
which judgment is given. For this purpose, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which Agent would be prepared on the relevant date, to sell the currency of the amount due hereunder in New York, New York against the Judgment Currency. In
the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of payment of the amount due, Borrower will, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts
(if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, is the amount then due under this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents in Dollars. Any additional amount due under this Section will be due as separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due or in respect of this Agreement. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 18.12(d) of this Agreement, if in connection with the determination by Borrower or
any other Person, as to whether such Person is in compliance with any provision hereof, it is required that financial information or other computations otherwise denominated in any currency other than Dollars needs to be converted to Dollars, then
such conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the applicable “as of”, “as at” or “effective” date of such financial information or other computation. For this purpose, unless otherwise specified
herein, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which Agent would be prepared to sell Dollars in exchange for the applicable amount of such other currency. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18.12(c) of this Agreement, in connection with its preparation of any Compliance Certificate or other calculations to determine compliance with
the provisions of Sections 2.19(e), 2.19(f), 6.1(q), 6.1(r) and 6.1(s) of this Agreement in respect of any fiscal period, all currency conversions from amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be
converted to Dollars pursuant to a methodology acceptable to Agent. 
 18.13 Acknowledgement of Intent. The
parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Revolving Credit Notes evidence a commercial loan to finance Borrower’s current operations made by one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies, or other financial
institutions that are engaged in the making, purchasing or otherwise investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of business and are not intended to be “securities” for purposes of Article 8 of the Code. 

  
 - 157 -

 18.14 Acknowledgement of Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the parties to this
Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) this Agreement and certain other Loan Documents are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) it shall take no action to terminate its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement except
in connection with the termination thereof in accordance therewith, (c) it will otherwise be bound by and take no actions contrary to the Intercreditor Agreement, (d) no act or omission by Agent, Trustee, or any member of the Lender Group
in accordance therewith shall constitute or be deemed to be a breach by such party or violation of its duties under any of the this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and hereby consents to such acts and omissions, (e) it hereby
recognizes all rights granted thereby to Agent and the Lender Group therein, and (f) it will not do any act or perform any obligation which is not in accordance with the agreements set forth therein. 

18.15 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are
independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit
extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement. 
 THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT
