interests in such Subsidiary), plus (iv) the equity value of any assets contributed to the Company prior to or after the date of this Agreement (to the extent not previously included) less (iv) any capital dividends or

Agents at least five (5) business days prior to the payment of such installment of the Management Fee, and, upon such delivery to the Company, payment of such installment of the Management
Fee shown therein shall be due and payable no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is twenty (20) days after the end of the calendar month with respect to which such installment is payable and (ii) the date which is

quarterly basis annual incentive compensation (the “Incentive Compensation”) on a cumulative, but not compounding, basis, in an amount equal to the product of 25% of the dollar amount by which (a) the Adjusted Net Income
(before such payment) of the Company exceeds (b)(i) the weighted daily average Total Equity (plus cash capital raising costs), multiplied by, (ii) a simple interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Each installment of the
Incentive Compensation shall not be paid prior to the date that is eight (8) business days after the Agents’ receipt of the quarterly financial statements pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 27
herein). The obligation of the Company to pay the Incentive Compensation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, subject to Section 16(b) of this Agreement. A copy of the computations made by the Manager to
calculate such installment shall, for informational purposes only, be delivered to the Agents at least five (5) business days prior to the payment of such installment of the Incentive Compensation.

Manager for documented expenses of the Manager incurred on its behalf (collectively, the “Expenses”); provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to pay all Expenses directly and in those instances
where the Expenses must be incurred by the Manager on the Company’s behalf, such Expenses shall be expensed in the Company’s financial statements as the type of expense for which the reimbursement relates (e.g. in the event the Manager

	 	SECTION 16.	ACTION UPON TERMINATION. 

 (a) From and after the effective date of termination of this
Agreement, pursuant to Sections 13, 14, or 15 of this Agreement, the Manager shall not be entitled to compensation for further services under this Agreement, but shall be paid all compensation accruing to the date of termination and, if terminated
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(b) of this Agreement, the applicable Termination Fee. Upon such termination, the Manager shall forthwith: 

(i) after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled, pay over to the Company or a
Subsidiary all money collected and held for the account of the Company or a Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (ii) deliver to the
Board of Directors a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board of Directors with respect
to the Company or a Subsidiary; and 
 (iii) deliver to the Board of Directors all property and documents of the Company or any Subsidiary
then in the custody of the Manager. 
 (b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated, the Company shall have the option, to be
exercised by written notice to the Manager within ten (10) days following such termination, to purchase from the Manager the right of the Manager to receive the Incentive Compensation. In exchange therefor the Company will be obligated to pay
the Manager a cash purchase price (the “Cash Price”) equal to the amount of the Incentive Compensation that would be paid to the Manager if all of the Company’s assets were sold for cash at their then current fair market value (taking
into account, among other things, expected future performance of the underlying investments, the “Fair Market Value”). In the event that the Company does not elect to exercise such option to purchase the Incentive Compensation, the Manager
shall have the right to require the Company to do so at the Cash Price by delivering to the Company written notice within twenty (20) days following such termination. The Fair Market Value shall be determined by independent appraisal to be
conducted by a nationally recognized appraisal firm mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Manager. If the Company and the Manager are unable to agree upon an appraisal firm, then each of the Company and the Manager shall choose an independent
appraisal firm to conduct an appraisal. In such event, (i) if the appraisals prepared by the two appraisers so selected are the same or differ by an amount that does not exceed 20% of the higher of the two appraisals, the Fair Market Value will
be deemed to be the average of such appraisals, and (ii) if the two appraisals differ by more than 20% of the higher of the two appraisals, the two appraisers together shall select a third nationally recognized appraisal firm to conduct an
appraisal. If the two appraisers are unable to agree as to the identity of such third appraiser, either of the Manager and the Company may request that the American Arbitration Association 

 
(“AAA”) select the third appraiser, which shall then be selected by the AAA. The Fair Market Value will then be deemed to be the amount determined by such third appraiser, but in no
event less than the lower or more than the higher of the first two appraisals made under this Section 16(b).

Agreement, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. 
  

	 	SECTION 25.	PROVISIONS SEPARABLE. 

 The Provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from
each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. 

 

	 	SECTION 26.	GENDER.

deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires.

(a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing Loan or Term Loan B), Borrowing Agent shall give Administrative Agent written notice by no later than 1:00 p.m. on the day which is

of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Administrative Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR
Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(e) below. 
 (e) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan (other than Term Loan B), or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert
any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If
Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Administrative Agent written notice by no later than 1:00 p.m. (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur
with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest

(3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay Revolving Advances consisting of the LIBOR Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued
interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Revolving Advances which are LIBOR Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR
Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof. 

(g) Each Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and Lenders and hold each Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or
expenses that any Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a
borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a LIBOR Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by any Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain
its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or
branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith

type. If any such payment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay the applicable Agent, upon such Agent’s request, such amount
or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (b) Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or
(ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by 

  
 48 

 
Borrowers for a Revolving Advance pursuant to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or
deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loan Advances
if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Administrative Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been
terminated for any reason. 
 (c) Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence and continuation of a Default or an

designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Administrative Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account on Administrative Agent’s books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance or
Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances, to the extent Lenders make
such Revolving Advances in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in
accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following
notification to Administrative Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed
request for a Revolving Advance by any Borrower, be disbursed to Administrative Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request. During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances and Swing Loans by
borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

 2.6. Making and Settlement of Advances. 

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the
Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). The Term Loan A shall be advanced according to the applicable Term Loan A Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan A Commitments. The Term Loan B shall be
advanced according to the applicable Term Loan B Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan B Commitments. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone. 

(b) Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a)
and, with respect to Revolving Advances, to the extent Administrative Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted
in Section 2.4(a), Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving
Advance as determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Revolving Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance to Administrative Agent such that Administrative Agent is able to, and Administrative
Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Revolving Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance to Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment
Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Revolving Lender fails to remit such funds to Administrative Agent in a timely manner, Administrative Agent may elect in its sole
discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof. 

(c) Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that
such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that
such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not
in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding
amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the
greater of (A) (x) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Administrative Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such 

  
 50 

 
Lender’s Revolving Advance. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have failed to make
such payment to Administrative Agent. A certificate of Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrowers with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. 

(d) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a “Settlement”) of all or any Swing Loans
with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Administrative Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders
holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Subject to any contrary
provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by
Administrative Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Administrative Agent, to such account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date
if requested by Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m., otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances set forth in
Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so
applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Administrative Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c). 

(e) If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances,
or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion
of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase
price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another
Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in
respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the 

  
 51 

 
Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances
shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral. 
 2.7. Maximum Advances. The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus
Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (b) the Formula Amount. 

2.8. Manner and Repayment of Advances. 

(a) The Revolving Advances and Swing Loans shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein
provided. The Term Loans shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.3(a) hereof and shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under this Agreement or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each
payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances (other than the Term Loan) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans and next, pro rata according to the applicable
Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22). Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the
Term Loans shall be applied to first, the Term Loan A pro rata according to the Term Loan A Commitment Percentages of the Term Loan A Lenders in the inverse order of maturities thereof until the Term Loan A is paid in full, and second, the Term Loan
B pro rata according to the Term Loan B Commitment Percentages of the Term Loan B Lenders in the inverse order of maturities thereof until the Term Loan B is paid in full. 

(b) Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of
Collateral may not be collectible by Administrative Agent on the date received by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account for each item of payment (i) on the next Business Day after the
Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Administrative Agent in the case of payment made via wire transfer or electronic depository check and (ii) on the Business Day on which such payment constitutes good funds in the case of
payment in any other form (such Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the “Application Date”). Administrative Agent is not, however, required to credit
Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason
whatsoever, to Administrative Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Administrative Agent shall be deemed applied by
Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. Borrowers further agree that there is a monthly float charge payable to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s sole benefit, in an amount equal to
(y) the face amount of all items of payment received during the 

  
 52 

 
prior month (including items of payment received by Administrative Agent as a wire transfer or electronic depository check) multiplied by (z) the Revolving Interest Rate with respect to
Domestic Rate Loans for one (1) Business Day. All proceeds received by Administrative Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h). 

(c) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents (other than on account of the
Term Loan B) shall be made to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages or Term Loan A Commitment Percentages, as applicable (subject to Section 2.23 hereof)
at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. All payments of principal, interest and other
amounts payable under the Term Loan B hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents with respect to the Term Loan B shall be made to Term Loan B Agent for the ratable benefit of the Term Loan B Lenders in accordance with their applicable Term Loan
B Commitment Percentages (subject to Section 2.23 hereof) at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to the Term
Loan B Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers’ Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof. 

(d) Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest,
fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent or Term Loan B Agent, as the case may be, on behalf of applicable Lenders to the Payment Office, in each
case on or prior to 1:00 p.m., in Dollars and in immediately available funds. 
 2.9. Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the
aggregate balance of outstanding Revolving Advances, Swing Loans, Term Loans, and/or Advances taken as a whole exceeds the maximum amount of such type of Advances and/or Advances taken as a whole (as applicable) permitted hereunder, such excess
Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred. 

2.10. Statement of Account. Each Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account
(“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by such Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however,
the failure by any Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect such Agent or any Lender. Each month, the Agents shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made
or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between such Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an
account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless the Agents receive a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of the Agents
with respect to Borrowers’ Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto. 

  
 53 

 2.11. Letters of Credit. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated
in Dollars (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of any Borrower except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances plus (ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus
(iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount or (y) the Formula
Amount (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)((ii) and (iii)). The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit
Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans. Letters of Credit that
have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof). 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the
Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally. 

2.12. Issuance of Letters of Credit. 

(a) Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to
Issuer, with a copy to Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m., at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of
Credit Application”) completed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Administrative Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue
any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Administrative Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of
Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason. 

  
 54 

 (b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight
drafts, or other written demands for payment, or acceptances of usance drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not
later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance and in no event later than the last day of the Term. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the
“ISP98 Rules”), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may
permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder. 

(c) Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

 2.13. Requirements for Issuance of Letters of Credit. 

(a) Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account
Party” of each Letter of Credit. If Administrative Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property
received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Administrative Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, the application therefor. 

(b) In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints
Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances;
(ii) to sign such Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department (“Customs”) in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer’s designee, and
to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower’s name or Issuer’s, or in the name of Issuer’s designee, any order, sale or
transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Administrative Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of
fact or law, except for Administrative Agent’s, Issuer’s or their respective attorney’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain
outstanding. 
 2.14. Disbursements, Reimbursement. 

(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such
Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively. 

  
 55 

 (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or
transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be
referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount
so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Administrative Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the
Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been
terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall
not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (c) Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice
pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Administrative Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of
Section 2.22) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any
Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then
interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three
(3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Administrative Agent and Issuer
will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Administrative Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such
payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and (ii) until and commencing from
the date of receipt of notice from Administrative Agent or Issuer of a drawing. 
 (d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not
converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth

  
 56 

 
in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Administrative Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter
of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a
Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a
“Participation Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14. 

(e) Each applicable Lender’s Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of
the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other
than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit. 
 2.15. Repayment of
Participation Advances. 
 (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by Administrative Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available
funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of
interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Administrative Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent, the amount of
such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Administrative Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation
Advance in respect of such payment by Administrative Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Advance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.22, Administrative Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender). 

(b) If Issuer or Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or
any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon,
each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Administrative Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Administrative Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Administrative Agent plus interest at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate. 
 2.16. Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit
Application and by Issuer’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer’s interpretations may be
different from such Borrower’s own. In the event of a 

  
 57 

 
conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent’s or any
Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. 
 2.17.
Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required
to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied
in the manner so set forth. 
 2.18. Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of
Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.18 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances: 

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against
Issuer, Administrative Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; 
 (ii) the failure
of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for
the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14; 
 (iii)
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower,
Administrative Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Administrative Agent, Issuer or any
Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuer,
Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of
such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); 

  
 58 

 (v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any
fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuer or any of Issuer’s Affiliates has been notified thereof; 

(vi) payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or
does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face
appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw); 
 (vii)
the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value
or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit; 
 (viii) any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer’s
Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Administrative Agent and Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall
have furnished Administrative Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice; 

(ix) the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect; 

(x) any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto; 

(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor; 

(xii) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(xiii) the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the obligations of Lenders to make Advances have been terminated; and

 (xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

2.19. Liability for Acts and Omissions. 

(a) As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Administrative Agent and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of 

  
 59 

 
the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any
other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such
transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile,
telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of
Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of
Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability for
Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such
sentence. In no event shall Issuer or Issuer’s Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any
damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit;
(ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of
Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together
with any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or
other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank
claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the
applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or 

  
 60 

 
instrument of like import (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or
other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. 
 (c) In
furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder,
if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower,
Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
 2.20. Mandatory and Optional Prepayments. 

(a) When any Loan Party sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral other than (i) Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business,
(ii) pursuant to a “Permitted Disposition” or (iii) pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 7.1(a), Loan Parties shall repay the Advances in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less
the reasonable direct costs of such sales or other dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day (or three (3) Business Days in the case of a disposition of any Collateral in an amount
less than $100,000) following receipt of such Net Proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agents. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale otherwise prohibited by the terms
and conditions hereof. Such repayments shall be applied (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan A in the inverse order of the maturities thereof until the Term Loan A is paid in full, (y) second, to the
outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan B in the inverse order of the maturities thereof until the Term Loan B is paid in full and (z) third, to the remaining Advances (including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to
any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b); provided, however that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash collateralize any
Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) in such order as Administrative Agent may determine, subject to Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. 

(b) Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Advances in an amount equal to (I) if as of the end of such fiscal quarter, the
Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00, zero percent (0%), (II) if as of the end of such fiscal quarter, the Leverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00 but less than 2.75 to 1.00, fifty percent (50%), and (III) if as of the

  
 61 

 
end of such fiscal quarter, the Leverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 2.75 to 1.00, one hundred percent (100%), of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2014, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to Agents referred to in and required by Section 9.8 for such fiscal quarter but in any event not later than after the end of each such fiscal quarter, which
amount shall be applied (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan A in the inverse order of the maturities thereof until the Term Loan A is paid in full, and (y) second, to the outstanding principal installments
of the Term Loan B in the inverse order of the maturities thereof until the Term Loan B is paid in full; provided, however that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash
collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) in such order as Administrative Agent may determine subject to Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that
the financial statements are not so delivered, then a calculation based upon estimated amounts shall be made by Administrative Agent upon which calculation Borrowers shall make the prepayment required by this Section 2.20(b), subject to
adjustment when the financial statements are delivered to Agents as required hereby. The calculation made by Administrative Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights any Agent or Lenders may have as a result of the failure by Borrowers to
deliver such financial statements. 
 (c) In the event of any issuance or other incurrence of Indebtedness by any Loan Party that is not
permitted under Section 7.8 of this Agreement, such Loan Party shall, no later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt by such Loan Party of the cash proceeds from any such issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness, repay the Advances in
an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such cash proceeds in the case of such incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness. Such repayments shall be applied (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan A in the
inverse order of the maturities thereof until the Term Loan A is paid in full, (x) second, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan B in the inverse order of the maturities thereof until the Term Loan B is paid in full and
(z) third, to the remaining Advances (including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b). 

(d) All proceeds received by any Loan Party or any Agent (i) under any insurance policy on account of damage or destruction of any assets
or property of any Borrowers, or (ii) as a result of any taking or condemnation of any assets or property shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.6 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, such application shall not be required to the extent such proceeds are held in a deposit account in which the Administrative Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest and a Loan Party reinvests (or enters into a
legally binding commitment to reinvest) such Net Cash Proceeds in assets (other than Inventory) of a kind then used or usable in a similar business or business permitted under Section 7.9, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the
date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, which assets (unless the same constitute Excluded Property) are subject to Administrative Agent’s first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances). 

(e) The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, prepay any Term Loan, in whole or in part, in minimum amounts of $1,000,000, upon
notice by the Borrowing Agent to the Administrative Agent (or the Term Loan B Agent in the case of the Term Loan B) 

  
 62 

 
specifying the date and amount of such prepayment. Such repayments shall be applied (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan A in the inverse order of the
maturities thereof until the Term Loan A is paid in full, and (x) second, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan B in the inverse order of the maturities thereof until the Term Loan B is paid in full. 

2.21. Use of Proceeds. 

(a) Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) make distributions and fund other payments pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization (the “POR Distributions”), (ii) pay fees and expenses relating to this transaction, (iii) provide for its ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes and (iv) partially fund capital
expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions. Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Advance to prepay any Term Loan. 
 (b)
Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor
shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law. 
 2.22.
Defaulting Lender. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 

(b) (i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, Revolving Advances shall be made pro rata from Revolving Lenders
which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Revolving Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced by any Revolving
Lender shall be increased as a result of any Revolving Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances of each Revolving Lender
(other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Administrative Agent for
Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by
Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. 

(ii) fees pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender. 

  
 63 

 (iii) if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter
of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then: 

(A) Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that
(x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Revolving Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the
outstanding Swing Loans plus such Revolving Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender,
and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time; 
 (B) if the reallocation described in clause
(A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second,
cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding; 
 (C) if
Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized; 
 (D) if Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting
Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and 
 (E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer
or any other Revolving Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be
payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

  
 64 

 (iv) so long as any Revolving Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender,
Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuer is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or
cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be
allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any
matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of
“Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage; provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting
Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 17.2(b). 
 (d) Other
than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this
Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or
shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder. 

(e) In the event that Administrative Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, then Participation Commitments of Revolving
Lenders (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date
such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Revolving Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its
Revolving Commitment Percentage. 
 (f) If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in
fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Revolving Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any
Letter of 

  
 65 

 
Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Revolving Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or
Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Revolving Lender hereunder. 
 2.23. Payment of Obligations.
Administrative Agent may charge to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder (including without
limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as
regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by any Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and
(b) all expenses which any Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts, Concentration Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h),
and (iii) any sums expended by any Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4,
4.4, 4.7, 6.4, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts
so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this
Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances. 
 III. INTEREST AND FEES. 

3.1. Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable to the applicable Lender in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to
Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period; provided, however, that interest on Term Loan B shall be payable on the first day of each Interest Period; provided, further that all
accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving
Advances, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate, (ii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans, (iii) with respect to the Term Loan A, the Term Loan A Rate and (iii) with respect to the Term
Loan B, the Term Loan B Rate (as applicable, the “Contract Rate”). Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving
Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the
applicable Contract Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The LIBOR Rate shall be
adjusted with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and

  
 66 

 
during the continuation thereof, (i) with respect to the Advances (other than the Term Loan B), at the option of Administrative Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders holding
Revolving Commitments (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Obligations
(other than relating to Term Loan B) shall bear interest at the applicable Contract Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum and (ii) with respect to the Term Loan B, at the option of Term Loan B Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders
holding Term Loan B Commitments (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the
Obligations relating solely to Term Loan B shall bear interest at the applicable Contract Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum (as applicable, the “Default Rate”). 

3.2. Letter of Credit Fees. 

(a) Borrowers shall pay (x) to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each
Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin
for Revolving Advances consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last
day of the Term, and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and
including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). In addition,
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent any and all customary administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in
connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such
charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a
particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the
continuation thereof, at the option of Administrative Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default
without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum. 

(b) At any time following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, at the option of Administrative Agent or at the direction of
Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence and continuation of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative

  
 67 

 
action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, if applicable, in connection with any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.20),
Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Administrative Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit,
and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, on such Borrower’s behalf and in such Borrower’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account
opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower coming into any Lender’s possession at any time. Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Administrative Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Administrative
Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Administrative Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under
this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Administrative Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay
interest on such cash collateral being held by Administrative Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon the occurrence of all of the following: (x) payment and performance in full of all Obligations;
(y) expiration of all Letters of Credit; and (z) termination of this Agreement. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a
continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to
time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of
Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Administrative Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations. 

3.3. Facility Fee. 
 (a)
If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of the sum of Revolving Advances (for purposes of this computation, Swing Loans shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by PNC as a Lender) plus Swing Loans
plus the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit for each day of such calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such average daily
unpaid balance (the “Facility Fee”). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Administrative Agent in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter with respect to the previous calendar quarter. 

  
 68 

 3.4. Fee Letter. 

(a) Borrowers shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter. 

(b) All of the documented fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any appraisals and field examinations conducted pursuant to
Section 4.7 hereof shall be paid for when due, in full and without deduction, off-set or counterclaim by Borrowers. 
 3.5.
Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. If any payment to be made
hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Contract Rate during such extension. 

3.6. Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder, plus any other amounts paid in
connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted
under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if
the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. 

3.7. Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this
Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where any Agent, Swing
Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall: 

(a) subject any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer); 

(b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or 

  
 69 

 (c) impose on any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer or the London interbank LIBOR
market any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making,
converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer reasonably deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest
or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that such Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, upon
its demand, such additional amount as will compensate such Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be; provided that no Lender shall be entitled to compensation for any
increased costs under this Section 3.7 if it shall not be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances and unless such demand is generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of
comparable borrowers of such Lender in the United States with respect to similarly affected commitments or loans. Such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing
Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 3.8. Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. In the event that any Agent or any Lender shall have reasonably determined that: 
 (a) reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or 
 (b) Dollar deposits in the relevant
amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank LIBOR market, with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; or 

(c) the making, maintenance or funding of any LIBOR Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by any Agent or such Lender
in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), 

then such Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any
such requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agents no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing
shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate
Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agents, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the 

  
 70 

 
proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if
Borrowing Agent shall notify Agents, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of
LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected LIBOR Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected LIBOR Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn,
Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an
affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan. 
 3.9. Capital Adequacy. 

(a) In the event that any Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law or guideline regarding capital
adequacy, or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Agent, Swing
Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling any Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender
and the office or branch where any Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing
Loans) to a level below that which any Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration any Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s and each Lender’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by any Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to such Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, such Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this
Section 3.9 shall be available to each Agent, Swing Loan Lender and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline or condition. 

(b) A certificate of such Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such
Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

3.10. Taxes. 
 (a) Any and
all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding 

  
 71 

 
for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Indemnified Taxes (or Other Taxes) from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required withholdings or deductions (including those applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer or
Participant, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions and (iii) Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (b) Without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.10(a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law. 

(c) Each Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, Swing Loan Lender, each Lender, Issuer and any Participant, within ten (10) days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Agent, Swing Loan Lender,
such Lender, Issuer, or such Participant, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, or Issuer (with a copy to Agents), or by any Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender or Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment
of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Body, Borrowers shall deliver to Agents the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agents. 
 (e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall
deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Agents), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or any Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrowers or any Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the
Borrowers or such Agent as will enable Borrowers or such Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences,
the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than documentation set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially 

  
 72 

 
prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agents (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or Agents, but only if such Lender (or other Lender) is legally entitled to do so),
whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, 
 (ii) two (2) duly completed valid originals of
IRS Form W-8ECI, 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c)
of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, 

(iv) any successor or additional form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or 

(v) To the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to Agents two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any
successor form establishing that the Lender is not a Foreign Lender and is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. 
 (f) If a payment
made to a Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or any Agent under this Agreement or any Other Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person fails to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or such Agent shall deliver to such Agent (in the case of Swing Loan Lender, a
Lender, Participant or Issuer) and Borrowers (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of such Person, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by any Agent or
any Borrower sufficient for Agents and Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, Participant, Issuer, or such Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. 

3.11. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes demand upon Borrowers for (or if
Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.9 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender,
or (d) denies any consent requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 17.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event

  
 73 

 
causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 17.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to the Agents and such Affected Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender
satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, Term
Loan A Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by
Administrative Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances
and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 17.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its
Revolving Commitment Percentage, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, and other rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement and the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or
non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, any replacement of any Term Loan B Lender shall require the consent of the Term Loan B Agent. 

3.12. Mitigation. If any Agent or any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.7 or Section 3.9 or if Borrowers are
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.10(a) to any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer or Participant, as the case may be, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any such Agent, Swing
Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer or Participant, then such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer or Participant shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its loans hereunder or to assign its right and
obligations hereunder (or, in the case of a Participant, its rights and obligations under any participation agreement) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer
or Participant, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 3.10(a), in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, (iii) would not require such Agent or such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be
materially disadvantageous to such Agent or such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

IV. COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS 
 4.1. Security
Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to Agents, Issuer and each Lender (and each other holder of any Obligations) of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Administrative Agent

 4.5. Defense of Agents’ and Lenders’ Interests. Until (a) payment and
performance in full of all of the Obligations and (b) termination of this Agreement, Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. During such period no Loan Party shall, without Agents’

for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Each Loan Party shall defend Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time during the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, following demand by Administrative Agent for payment of all Obligations, Administrative Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained,
including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Administrative Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it
available to Administrative Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Administrative Agent. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and
further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law. At any time during the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall, and Administrative Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers,

Agent’s order and if they shall come into any Loan Party’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Administrative Agent’s trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to
Administrative Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement. 
 4.6. Inspection of Premises. At such
reasonable times and intervals and with reasonable prior notice to the Borrowers, Agents and each Lender shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party’s books, records,

machinery and equipment, and one (1) appraisal of Real Property (which shall be limited to only Real Property with a value not less than $250,000, as reasonably determined by the Agents), in each case, for each Loan Party; provided,
however, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Agents may conduct such additional field examinations and appraisals as Agents may determine, at any time, which shall be at the cost and expense of the Loan Parties;
provided, further, that Agents shall only be reimbursed for 

  
 77 

 
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agents shall consult with Loan Parties as to the identity of
any such firm. 
 4.8. Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. 

(a) Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein
named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of
a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff

 (e) During the continuance of an Event of Default (except to the
extent otherwise agreed in any treasury management agreement between any Loan Party and Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Administrative Agent or any Loan Party
any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes
Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with power (i) at any time: (A) to send verifications of Receivables relating to regional or national accounts to any Customer

any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is
irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. 
 (f) Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or
in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting
therefrom. 

  
 79 

 (g) All proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by Loan Parties in (i) Concentration
Accounts or (ii) depository accounts as that term is defined in Article 9 of the UCC established at Administrative Agent for the deposit of such proceeds (“Depository Accounts”), and such proceeds transferred by daily sweep or
wire transfer into a lockbox account, dominion account or such other “blocked account” (“Blocked Accounts”) established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a “Blocked Account Bank”) pursuant to an
arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agents. Each applicable Borrower, each Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall enter into a deposit account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agents that is
sufficient to give Administrative Agent “control” (for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such Blocked Accounts and which directs such Blocked Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited on a daily basis
to Administrative Agent, either to any account maintained by Administrative Agent at said Blocked Account Bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) at Administrative Agent. Each such control agreement shall provide, among other things,
(x) that the Blocked Account Bank will comply with any instructions originated by Administrative Agent directing the disposition of the funds in such Blocked Account without further consent by the applicable Loan Party, (y) upon the
instruction of Administrative Agent (an “Activation Instruction”), the Blocked Account Bank will transfer by daily sweep or by wire transfer all funds deposited in the applicable Concentration Account to the Administrative
Agent’s Account or an Account designated by Administrative Agent in the applicable control agreement. Administrative Agent agrees not to issue an Activation Instruction with respect to the Blocked Accounts unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time such Activation Instruction is issued. Administrative Agent agrees to promptly rescind an Activation Instruction (the “Rescission”) if: (1) the Event of Default has ended or has been
terminated (by waiver in writing), and (2) no additional Event of Default has commenced and is continuing prior to the date of the Rescission or is reasonably expected to occur on or immediately after the date of the Rescission. All funds
deposited in such Blocked Accounts, Concentration Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Administrative Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders
of the Obligations, and Borrowing Agent shall obtain the agreement by such Blocked Account Bank to waive, subordinate, or agree not to exercise any offset rights or recoupment or any other claim against the funds so deposited other than for payment
of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Blocked Account, Concentration Account or Depository Account. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account
arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. Administrative Agent shall apply all funds received by it from the Blocked Accounts to the satisfaction
of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in such order as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion; provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall
apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, and then to the Revolving Advances. 

  
 80 

 (h) No Loan Party will, without Administrative Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any
Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have
been heretofore customary in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party. 
 (i) All deposit accounts (including all Blocked Accounts,
Concentration Accounts and Depository Accounts), securities accounts and investment accounts of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j). No Loan Party shall open any new deposit account,
securities account or investment account unless (i) Loan Parties shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agents and (ii) if such account is to be maintained with a bank, depository institution or securities
intermediary that is not the Administrative Agent, such bank, depository institution or securities intermediary, each applicable Loan Party and Agents shall first have entered into an account control agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agents sufficient to give Administrative Agent “control” (for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such account. 

4.9. Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by
such Loan Party in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder. 

4.10. Maintenance of Equipment. The equipment necessary to the Loan Parties’ business shall be maintained in reasonable good
operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of the equipment shall be maintained and preserved in accordance with
the Loan Parties’ past practices. No Loan Party shall use or operate the equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, except to the extent where it would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.11. Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to
constitute any Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral
wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party’s obligations under any contract or agreement
assigned to such Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof. 

4.12. Financing Statements. Except as respects the financing statements filed by Administrative Agent, financing statements described on
Schedule 4.12, and financing statements filed in connection with Permitted Encumbrances, no financing statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is or will be on file in any public office.

any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in any Agent’s or any Lender’s reasonable opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, any
Agent may without notice to Loan Parties pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Loan Party hereby indemnifies and holds each Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof. The amount of any payment by any Agent under this
Section 6.4 shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations and, until Loan Parties shall furnish Agents with an indemnity therefor (or supply Agents with
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agents that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Administrative Agent may hold without interest any balance standing to Borrowers’ credit and Administrative Agent shall retain its security
interest in and Lien on any and all Collateral held by Administrative Agent.

 6.5. Financial Covenants. 

(a) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Cause to be maintained as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less
than 1.0 to 1.0, measured on a rolling four (4) quarter basis; provided, however, that (I) for the purposes of calculating such ratio for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013, the ratio shall be measured on a trailing
three (3) month basis, (II) for the purposes of calculating such ratio for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, the ratio shall be measured on a trailing six (6) month basis, and (III) for the purposes of calculating such ratio
for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, the ratio shall be measured on a trailing nine (9) month basis; provided, that such ratio shall be calculated without giving effect to the costs set forth on Schedule II. 

(b) Maximum Leverage Ratio. Maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA of not greater than 3.25 to
1.0 (the “Leverage Ratio”). 
 (c) Minimum EBITDA. Cause to be maintained as of the end of each fiscal quarter,
EBITDA of the Loan Parties to be greater than $46,000,000, measured on a rolling four (4) quarter basis. 
 6.6. Insurance. 

(a) (i) Keep all its insurable properties and properties in which such Loan Party has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood,
sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party’s including business interruption
insurance; (ii) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (iii) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required
under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Loan Party is engaged in business; and (iv) furnish Agents with (A) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least two
(2) Business Days before any expiration date, and (B) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Agents, naming Agents as an additional insured and mortgagee and/or lender loss payee (as applicable) as its
interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, and providing (I) that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Agents, (II) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or
neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (III) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice is given to Agents
(ten (10) days for non-payment) (it being agreed that failure by the Loan Parties to procure such a non-cancellation clause despite the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts shall not result in a Default hereunder). In the event of any
loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agents and the applicable Loan Party to make payment for such loss to Agents and not to such Loan Party and Agents jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other
instrument payable to any Loan Party and Agents jointly, Agents may endorse such Loan Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agents may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. 

(b) Each Loan Party shall take all actions required under the Flood Laws and/or requested by any Agent to assist in ensuring that each Lender
is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, providing such Agent with the address and/or GPS coordinates of each structure on any real property that will be subject to a mortgage in favor of
Agents, for the benefit of Lenders, and, to the extent required, obtaining flood insurance for such property, structures and contents prior to such property, structures and contents becoming Collateral, and thereafter maintaining such flood
insurance in full force and effect for so long as required by the Flood Laws. 

  
 91 

 (c) After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Agents are hereby authorized to
adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in Sections 6.6(a)(i) and (ii) and 6.6(b) above. All loss recoveries received by Agents under any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Agents in
their sole discretion shall determine. Any surplus shall be paid by Agents to Loan Parties or applied as may be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Loan Parties to Agents, on demand. If any Loan Party fails to obtain
insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agents, if Agents so elect, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such Loan Party, which payments shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account and
constitute part of the Obligations, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.7. Payment of Indebtedness and Leasehold Obligations. Pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy (i) at or before maturity (subject,
where applicable, to specified grace periods) all its Indebtedness, except when the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or when the amount or validity thereof is currently being Properly Contested,
subject at all times to any applicable subordination arrangement in favor of Lenders and (ii) when due its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other
terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect. 
 6.8. Environmental Matters. 

(a) Ensure that the Real Property and all operations and businesses conducted thereon are in material compliance and remain in material
compliance with all Environmental Laws and it shall manage any and all Hazardous Materials on any Real Property in material compliance with Environmental Laws. 

(b) Establish and maintain an environmental management and compliance system to assure and monitor continued compliance in all material
respects with all applicable Environmental Laws which system shall include periodic environmental compliance audits to be conducted by knowledgeable environmental professionals. All potential material violations and violations of Environmental Laws
shall be reviewed to determine any required reporting to applicable Governmental Bodies and any required corrective actions pursuant to Environmental Laws to address such potential violations or violations. 

(c) Respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint and take all necessary action as is required by applicable
Environmental Laws in order to safeguard the health of any Person and to avoid subjecting the Collateral or Real Property to any Lien. If any Loan Party shall fail to respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint or any Loan
Party shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, any Agent on behalf of Lenders may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Administrative Agent’s interest in the

  
 92 

 
Collateral: (i) give such notices or (ii) enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such actions as any Agent (or such third
parties as directed by any Agent) deem reasonably necessary or advisable, to remediate, remove, mitigate or otherwise manage with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agents and
Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at
the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances shall be paid upon demand by Loan Parties, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or
any other agreement between any Agent, any Lender and any Loan Party. 
 (d) Promptly upon the written request of any Agent from time to
time, Loan Parties shall provide Agents, at Loan Parties’ expense, with an environmental site assessment or environmental compliance audit report prepared by an environmental engineering firm acceptable in the reasonable opinion of Agents, to
assess with a reasonable degree of certainty, to the extent possible using commercially reasonable and cost-effective efforts, the existence of a Hazardous Discharge and the potential costs in connection with abatement, remediation and removal of
any Hazardous Materials found on, under, at or within the Real Property. Any report or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to the responsible Governmental Body shall be acceptable to Agents. If such estimates,
individually or in the aggregate, exceed $2,000,000, each Agent shall have the right to require Loan Parties to post a bond, letter of credit or other security reasonably satisfactory to Agents to secure payment of these costs and expenses. 

(e) The Loan Parties shall undertake the follow-up research, inspections, and investigations (the “Phase II Environmental Site
Assessments”) recommended by ERM to address “Identified Issues” (including, for the avoidance of doubt, “Asbestos Containing Materials” issues, but not including “De Minimis Issues” or “EHS
Compliance Issues”) in the Executive Summary and Conclusions & Recommendations sections of the November 5, 2013 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Reports prepared for the Real Properties set forth on Schedule A. The Loan
Parties will engage ERM to prepare an asbestos survey of the Real Properties set forth in Schedule 6.8, and an Operations and Maintenance Plan where required by Environmental Laws. The asbestos surveys will be conducted as part of the Phase II
Environmental Site Assessments and the Operations and Maintenance Plans will be completed with all due haste following the completion of the asbestos surveys. The Phase II Environmental Site Assessments shall be conducted by ERM at the direction of
the Loan Parties and shall be completed with all due haste pursuant to a scope of work that ERM will prepare for delivery to the Loan Parties as soon as practicable after Closing based upon the findings and recommendations set forth in the Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Reports. The Phase II Environmental Site Assessments shall be finalized and delivered to the Agents and Lenders no later than December 31, 2013 (“Phase II Deadline”), or as soon as practicable
thereafter if the scope of work for the recommended Phase II Environmental Site Assessments is such that ERM cannot meet the Phase II Deadline despite using commercially reasonable efforts and proceeding with all due haste. The Loan Parties shall
direct ERM to identify recommended remedial actions to ensure that any environmental conditions identified in the Phase II Environmental Site Assessments are remediated as is required by applicable Environmental Laws (“Remedial 

  
 93 

 
Actions”). Such Remedial Actions shall be implemented by ERM and the Loan Parties with all due haste to ensure that the environmental conditions are remediated in a timely manner as
determined by ERM. The Loan Parties shall further obtain “No Further Action” letters or letters of similar import from applicable Governmental Authorities for the Remedial Actions undertaken where the Environmental Laws provide the means
to do so. The Loan Parties shall provide copies of all material reports and documents to the Agents and the Lenders promptly upon receipt of same. The Loan Parties shall further provide quarterly progress reports to the Agents and the Lenders
regarding the Remedial Actions undertaken and the status of the requests for No Further Action letters from applicable Governmental Authorities. The first quarterly status report shall be due on March 31, 2014. 

6.9. Standards of Financial Statements. Cause all financial statements referred to in Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, and 9.13
as to which GAAP is applicable to be complete and correct in all material respects (subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments) and to be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with GAAP
applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein (except as disclosed therein and agreed to by such reporting accountants or officer, as applicable). 

6.10. Federal Securities Laws. Promptly notify Agents in writing if any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries (i) is required to
file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, (ii) registers any securities under the Exchange Act or (iii) files a registration statement under the Securities Act.

instrumentality of any of them. 
 6.14. Membership / Partnership Interests. If the limited liability company membership interests or
partnership interests as the case may be, of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries are designated as securities as contemplated by the definition of “security” in Section 8-102(15) and Section 8-103 of Article 8 of the
Uniform Commercial Code, certificate (or cause to be certificated) such limited liability company membership interests and partnership interests, as applicable. 

6.15. Keepwell. If it is a Qualified ECP Loan Party, then jointly and severally, together with each other Qualified ECP Loan Party,
hereby absolutely unconditionally and irrevocably (a) guarantees the prompt payment and performance of all Swap Obligations owing by each Non-

  
 94 

 
Qualifying Party (it being understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection), and (b) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be
needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such Non-Qualifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however,
that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this Section 6.15 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.15, or otherwise under this
Agreement or any Other Document, voidable under applicable law, including applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this
Section 6.15 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 6.15 constitute, and this
Section 6.15 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party and Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18(A)(v)(II) of

LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT. 
 11.1. Rights and Remedies. 

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuation of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)),
all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter (and such Events of Default
not having previously been cured in accordance with the terms hereof), at the option of any Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agents or Required Lenders shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Default under Sections 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder
shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for
herein, under the Other Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or
to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Administrative Agent may enter any of any Loan Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan
Party 

  
 115 

 
therefor, and Administrative Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Administrative
Agent may deem advisable and Administrative Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Administrative Agent at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Administrative Agent may
sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Administrative Agent may elect. Except as
to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Administrative Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it
being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale any Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the
purchaser, and any Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and
equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Administrative Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive
license and Administrative Agent is granted permission to use all of each Loan Party’s (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or
otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in
Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agents and Lenders therefor. All rights of Administrative Agent
under this Section 11.1(a) are subject to the Agreement Amongst Lenders. 
 (b) To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on
Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Administrative Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed
significant by Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for
access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in
the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of 

  
 116 

 
assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase
insurance or credit enhancements to insure Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or
(xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Administrative Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Administrative
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without
limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or
by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b). 
 11.2. Administrative Agent’s Discretion. Administrative Agent
shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Administrative Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and
what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder as against Loan
Parties or each other. 
 11.3. Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which any Agent or any Lender
may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, each such Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party’s property held by
such Agent and such Lender or any of their Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to such Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by such Agent or such Lender. 

11.4. Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the
exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative. 

11.5. Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations (but subject to Agreement Amongst Lenders), all amounts collected or received by any Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation
any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral may, at Administrative Agent’s discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

 SECOND, to payment of any
fees owed to Administrative Agent;

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest on account of the Swing Loans; 

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations consisting of Swing Loans;

 SEVENTH, to the payment of the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Advances and the payment or cash collateralization (in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b)) of any outstanding Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligations; 

EIGHTH, to all other Obligations arising under this Agreement (including Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities) which shall have
become due and payable (hereunder, under the Other Documents or otherwise) and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SEVENTH” above other than in respect of the payment of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and
interest and outstanding principal with respect to the Term Loans or otherwise provided for in this Agreement or the Other Documents; 

NINTH, (i) to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees)

TENTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest on account of the Term Loan A;

pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “THIRTEENTH”; and 
 FIFTEENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that
the then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to
clauses “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH”, “EIGHTH”, “TENTH”, “ELEVENTH”, “TWELFTH” and “THIRTEENETH” above; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5, no
Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty) or from the proceeds
of such Non-Qualifying Party’s Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities, provided, however, that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of
Collateral from other Borrowers and/or Guarantors that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 11.5; and (iv) to the
extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “SEVENTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by Administrative Agent as cash collateral
for the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof and applied (A) first, to reimburse Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to

or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Term Loan B Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Term Loan B Agent with respect thereto. 

14.2. Nature of Duties. Neither Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and
the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere)
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder.
Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender 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 of the Other Documents, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Administrative Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in
respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agents any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set
forth herein. 

  
 122 

 14.3. Lack of Reliance on Agents. Independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any
other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances
hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower
pursuant to the terms hereof. Agents shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for
the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default. 

14.4. Resignation of Agents; Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign on sixty (60) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing
Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers (provided, that no such approval by Borrowers shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is
one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the applicable Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of such
Agent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including the Mortgages, Pledge Agreement and all account control agreements, and the term
“Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former
Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral,
former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided, that Agent
shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to
release any such Liens). After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 17.5 hereof, shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the
provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 17.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in
connection with such Liens). 

  
 123 

 14.5. Certain Rights of Agents. If any Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions
from Required Lenders; and no Agent shall incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from
acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. 
 14.6. Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Each Agent
may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by such Agent with reasonable care. 

14.7. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default”. In the event that any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by
Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such 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 in the best interests of Lenders. 
 14.8. Indemnification. To the extent Agents are not reimbursed
and indemnified by Loan Parties, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify each Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Commitment Percentages of the Obligations, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent in performing its duties hereunder,
or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). 

14.9. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of any Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by
it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified 

  
 124 

 
herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Each Agent may engage
in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the
same to Lenders. 
 14.10. Delivery of Documents. To the extent any Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7,
9.8, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Loan Party is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agents will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

 14.11. Borrowers’ Undertaking to Agents. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other
provisions of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby undertakes with each Agent to pay to each Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agents or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this
Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Loan Party’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to
this Agreement. 
 14.12. No Reliance on Agents’ Customer Identification Programs. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement
is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agents to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as
hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Loan
Party, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists,
(iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Laws. 
 14.13. Other
Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agents, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agents, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by
such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless
specifically requested to do so by Agents, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement
and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agents or Required Lenders. 
 14.14.
Agreement Amongst Lenders. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents are subject to the terms of the Agreement Amongst Lenders. In the event of any conflict between the Agreement Amongst Lenders and this
Agreement or any Other Document, the terms of the Agreement Amongst Lenders shall control; provided however that nothing contained in the Agreement Amongst Lenders shall alter, modify or impair any obligations of the Loan Parties under this
Agreement. 

  
 125 

 XV. BORROWING AGENCY. 

15.1. Borrowing Agency Provisions. 

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to (i) borrow,
(ii) request advances, (iii) request the issuance of Letters of Credit, (iv) sign and endorse notes, (v) execute and deliver all instruments, documents, applications, security agreements, reimbursement agreements and letter of
credit agreements for Letters of Credit and all other certificates, notice, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, (vi) make elections regarding interest rates, (vii) give instructions regarding Letters of
Credit and agree with Issuer upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit and (viii) otherwise take action under and in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, all on behalf of and in the name such Borrower
or Borrowers, and hereby authorizes Agents to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent. 

(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely
as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agents and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies
Agents and each Lender and holds Agents and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against any Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by
reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by any Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by any Agent or any Lender with respect to this
Section 15.1 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). 

(c) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or
otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by any Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, failure of any Agent or any Lender to give any
Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of any Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by any Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower,
and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by any Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower’s Obligations or the lack
thereof. Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses. 

  
 126 

 15.2. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or
against or with respect to any other Borrowers’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and
repayment in full of the Obligations. 
 XVI. GUARANTY. 

16.1. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and absolutely, as a surety, guarantees all Obligations of Borrowers. In connection with such
guarantee, each Guarantor, as joint and several primary obligor of the Obligations directly incurred by Loan Parties, authorizes Administrative Agent, without giving notice to Guarantor or obtaining Guarantor’s consent and without affecting the
liability of Guarantor for the Obligations directly incurred by Loan Parties, from time to time to: (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to
enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations; grant other indulgences to Loan Parties in respect thereof; or modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations; (ii) declare all Obligations due and payable upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) take and hold security for the performance of the Obligations of Loan Parties and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (iv) apply and reapply such security and
direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; (v) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations or on which any Agent at any time may have a
Lien; release, substitute or add any one or more endorsers or guarantors of the Obligations of Loan Parties; or compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any
obligations of any such endorser or guarantor or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable on any Obligations or release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property of any such Person; (vi) apply payments received by Agents
from Loan Parties or any other source to any Obligations, in such order as Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion; and (vii) assign this Agreement in whole or in part. 

16.2. Each Guarantor, as a primary, joint and several obligor with respect to the Obligations directly incurred by Loan Parties, waives:
(i) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of Loan Parties, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Loan Parties from any cause (other than full payment of all Obligations), including, without
limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury; (ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other guarantor or other Person;
(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Loan Parties or any principal of Loan Parties or any defect in the formation of Loan Parties or any
principal of Borrowers; (iv) any defense based upon the application by Loan Parties of the proceeds of the credit facilities or the Loans for purposes other than the purposes represented by Loan Parties to any Agent or intended or understood by
any Agent or Loan Parties; (v) any defense based on the rights of any Loan Party, under statute or otherwise, to require any Agent to sue any other Loan Party or otherwise to exhaust its rights and remedies against any other Loan Party or any
other Person or against any collateral before seeking to enforce its right to require such Loan Party to satisfy the Obligations of any other Loan Party; (vi) any defense based on any 

  
 127 

 
Agent’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents (and each Guarantor agrees that no such failure shall
waive, alter or diminish any right of any Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith and nothing contained herein shall prevent any Agent from foreclosing on any Lien, or exercising any rights available to any Agent or
Lenders thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor); (vii) any defense arising from any act or omission of any Agent or any Lender which changes the scope of such
Guarantor’s risks hereunder; (viii) any defense based upon any Agent’s or any Lender’s election of any remedy against such Loan Party or any other Loan Party or any of them; any defense based on the order in which any Agent or
any Lender enforces its remedies; (ix) any defense based on (A) any Agent’s or any Lender’s surrender, release, exchange, substitution, dealing with or taking any additional collateral, (B) any Agent’s or any
Lender’s abstaining from taking advantage of or realizing upon any Lien or other guaranty, and (C) any impairment of collateral securing the Obligations, including, without limitation, any Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to
perfect or maintain a Lien in such collateral; (x) any defense based upon any Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to disclose to such Loan Party any information concerning any other Loan Party’s financial condition or any other
circumstances bearing on any other Loan Party’s ability to pay the Obligations; (xi) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other
respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (xii) any defense based upon any Agent’s or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Bankruptcy Code §1111(b)(2) or
any successor statute; (xiii) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Bankruptcy Code §364; (xiv) any defense based on any Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to be diligent or to satisfy
any other standard imposed on a secured party, in exercising rights with respect to collateral securing the Obligations; (xv) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein: notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or
acquisition of any Obligation; notice of any Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding from time to time; notice of any other fact which might increase such Loan Party’s risk; diligence; presentment; demand of
payment; protest; filing of claims with a court in the event of any other Loan Party’s receivership or bankruptcy and all other notices and demands to which such Loan Party might otherwise be entitled (and agrees the same shall not have to be
made on the other Loan Party as a condition precedent to such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder); (xvi) any defense based on errors and omissions by any Agent or any Lender in connection with its administration of the credit facilities or
the Loans; (xvii) any defense based on application of fraudulent conveyance or transfer law or shareholder distribution law to any of the Obligations or the security therefor; (xviii) any defense based on any Agent’s or any
Lender’s failure to seek relief from stay or adequate protection in any other Loan Party’s bankruptcy proceeding or any other act or omission by any Agent or any Lender which impairs such Loan Party’s prospective subrogation rights;
(xix) any defense based on legal prohibition of any Agent’s or any Lender’s acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default or any other legal prohibition on enforcement of
any other right or remedy of any Agent or any Lender with respect to the Obligations and the security therefor; (xx) any defense available to a surety under Applicable Law; and (xxi) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the
liability of such Loan Party hereunder or the enforcement hereof. 

  
 128 

 16.3. Each Guarantor authorizes each Agent and each Lender to exercise, in its sole discretion,
any right, remedy or combination thereof which may then be available to Agents and Lenders, since it is each Guarantor’s intent that the Obligations be absolute, independent and unconditional obligations of such Loan Party under all
circumstances. Notwithstanding any foreclosure of any Lien with respect to any or all of any property securing the Obligations, whether by the exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial foreclosure or by an acceptance
of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, each Guarantor shall remain bound under its guaranty of the Obligations directly incurred by any other Loan Party. 

16.4. This Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each of the Loan Parties and each of the Loan Parties shall be liable for all
existing and future Obligations of any other Loan Party as fully as if such Obligations were directly incurred by such Loan Party. 
 XVII. MISCELLANEOUS.

 17.1. Governing Law. This Agreement and each Other Document (unless and except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in any
such Other Document), and all matters relating hereto or thereto or arising herefrom or therefrom (whether arising under contract law, tort law or otherwise) shall, in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State
of New York, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Loan Party with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement, the Other Documents or any related
agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally
and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of any and all process
upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrowing Agent at its address set forth in Section 17.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five
(5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at Agents’ option, by service upon Borrowing Agent which each Loan Party irrevocably appoints as such Borrower’s agent for the
purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agents or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the
courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Loan Party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Each Loan
Party waives the right to remove any judicial proceeding brought against such Loan Party in any state court to any federal court. Any judicial proceeding by any Loan Party against any Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter
or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of New York, State of New York. 

  
 129 

 17.2. Entire Understanding. 

(a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Borrower, each Agent and each
Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof (except with respect to any other written agreements among the Lenders). Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein
contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Borrower’s, each Agent’s and each Lender’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be
changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it
has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents, as applicable, and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

(b) Required Lenders, Agents with the consent in writing of Required Lenders, and Loan Parties may, subject to the provisions of this
Section 17.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Loan Parties, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in
any manner the rights of Lenders, Agents or Loan Parties thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no
such supplemental agreement shall: 
 (i) increase the Revolving Commitment Percentage, Term Loan A Commitment Percentage or Term Loan B
Commitment Percentage, as applicable, or the maximum dollar amount of the Revolving Commitment Amount, Term Loan A Commitment Amount or Term Loan B Commitment Amount, as applicable, of any Lender without the consent of such Lender directly affected
thereby; 
 (ii) whether or not any Advances are outstanding, extend the Term or the time for payment of principal or interest of any
Advance (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of an Advance), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Advances or reduce any fee payable to any Lender, without the
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 or of default rates of Letter of Credit fees under Section 3.2 (unless
imposed by Administrative Agent or Term Loan B Agent, as specified in the foregoing sections)); 
 (iii) increase the Maximum Revolving
Advance Amount without the consent of all Lenders holding a Revolving Commitment; 
 (iv) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders
or alter, amend or modify this Section 17.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (v) alter, amend or modify the provisions of
Section 11.5 without the consent of all Lenders; 

  
 130 

 (vi) release any Collateral (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
including Section 2.20) having the aggregate value in excess of $3,000,000, without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (vii) change the
rights and duties of Agents without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (viii) subject to clause (e) below, permit any Revolving Advance to
be made if after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for more than sixty (60) consecutive Business Days or exceed one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Formula
Amount, without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (ix) increase the Advance Rate above the Advance Rate in effect on the Closing Date, without
the consent of all Lenders; or 
 (x) release any Guarantor or Borrower without the consent of all Lenders. 

(c) Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agents and all
future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agents and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a
specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon. 

(d) In the event that Agents request the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 17.2 and such consent is denied, then PNC may, at
its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to PNC or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by PNC (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal
amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Loan Parties. In the event PNC elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to PNC or to the
Designated Lender, PNC will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to PNC or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following
receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, PNC or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agents. 

(e) Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent
set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent
may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time, together with the outstanding Protective Advances, to exceed the Formula Amount by up to twelve and a half percent
(12.5%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days but not to exceed 90 days in any fiscal year (the “Out-of-Formula Loans”). If Administrative Agent is willing in its sole and absolute

  
 131 

 
discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans; provided that, if Administrative Agent does permit
Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For
purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Administrative Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason,
including, but not limited to, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Administrative
Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances, together with the outstanding Protective Advances, to exceed the Formula Amount by more than twelve and a half percent (12.5%), Administrative Agent shall use its efforts to have
Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Administrative Agent has determined the existence of involuntary
overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this
Section 17.2(e), Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Administrative
Agent, and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances. 

(f) In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 17.2, Administrative
Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make
Revolving Advances (“Protective Advances”) to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Administrative Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any
portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the
“Protective Advances”); provided, that the Protective Advances, together with the outstanding Out-of-Formula Loans, made hereunder shall not exceed twelve and a half percent (12.5%) of the Formula Amount in the aggregate
and provided further that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Revolving Advances, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit do not exceed the Maximum Revolving
Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Administrative Agent therefor upon demand of Administrative Agent in

  
 132 

 
accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 17.2(f),
any such Protective Advances funded by Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of
a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances. 
 17.3.
Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan
Parties, Agents, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of each Agent and each Lender. 
 (b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more
Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”). Each Participant may exercise all rights
of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof provided that (i) Loan Parties shall not be
required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Lender retained such interest in
the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent, and (ii) in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay any such
amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant. Each Loan Party hereby grants to any Participant a continuing security interest in any
deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant’s interest in the Advances. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.9
and 3.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section, but subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 17.3(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
Agreement or any Other Document (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

  
 133 

 (c) Any Lender, with the consent of Administrative Agent (or Term Loan B Agent in the case of a
Term Loan B Lender) and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transferee is not a Lending Affiliate of such Lender, Borrowing Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent
shall be deemed to have been given unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agents within seven (7) Business Days after having received prior written notice thereof), may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and
obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances and/or Term Loans under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing
Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) the entire amount of Revolving Advances and Term Loans held by the transferor Lender along with all of its Commitment Percentages and rights and
obligations related thereto, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Administrative Agent (or Term Loan B Agent in the case of a Term Loan B Lender) and delivered to Administrative
Agent (or Term Loan B Agent in the case of a Term Loan B Lender) for recording; provided, however, that each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to each of the Revolving Advances and/or Term Loans under this Agreement in which such Lender has an interest; provided, further, that, with respect to any sale, assignment or transfer pursuant to this
Section 17.3(c) that does not require consent by Borrowers, no Purchasing Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.10 hereof than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
rights assigned unless such assignment shall have been made at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date
determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with
a Revolving Commitment Percentage, Term Loan A Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan B Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment
Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only
to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, arising
from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the
resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and
obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Loan Parties shall 

  
 134 

 
execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Purchasing
Lender may be a Loan Party, Sponsor, Fortress Investment Group LLC or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. 
 (d) Any Lender, with the
consent of Administrative Agent (or Term Loan B Agent in the case of a Term Loan B Lender) and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transferee is not a Lending Affiliate of such Lender, Borrowing Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall be deemed to have been given unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agents within seven (7) Business Days after having received prior written notice
thereof)), may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances and/or Term Loans under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a
corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and
(ii) is administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and
collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement”), executed by any intermediate
purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Administrative Agent (or Term Loan B Agent in the case of a Term Loan B Lender) as appropriate and delivered to Administrative Agent (or Term Loan B Agent in the case of a Term Loan B Lender)
for recording; provided, further, that, with respect to any sale, assignment or transfer pursuant to this Section 17.3(d) that does not require consent by Borrowers, no Purchasing CLO shall be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 3.10 hereof than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred unless such transfer shall have been made at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did
not exist. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in
such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary
to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the
foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Purchasing CLO may be a Loan Party, Sponsor, Fortress Investment Group LLC or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. 

(e) Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address in the United States a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and Modified
Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder.
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest 

  
 135 

 
error, and each Loan Party, each Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable
Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO. 

(f) Each Loan Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee, subject to Section 17.15 of this
Agreement, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Loan Party which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s
credit evaluation of such Loan Party. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time
and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

17.4. Application of Payments. Each Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and
any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or any Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party’s benefit, which are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such
extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Agent or such Lender. 

17.5. Indemnity. Each Loan Party shall, on a joint and several basis, defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Agent,
Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Claims”) which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations
and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection with and/or relating to the
negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of the Agreement and the Other Documents, the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (iii) any
Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this

  
 136 

 
Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of each Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (v) any
threatened or actual imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law by any Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrowers, or any Guarantor, and (vi) any claim, litigation,
proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the
Other Documents, whether or not any Agent or any Lender is a party thereto. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party from (x) any
Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder and (y) any Claims which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection with the Real Property, any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Real
Property (whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on any of the Real Property under any
Environmental Laws and any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of any Agent or
any Lender. Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 17.5 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or
threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials, in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of counsel) asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Loan Party’s
or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances. Additionally, if any taxes (excluding taxes imposed upon or
measured solely by the net income of any Agent and Lenders, but including any intangibles taxes, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be payable by such Agent, Lenders or Loan Parties on account of the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the Other Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Loan Parties will pay (or will
promptly reimburse such Agent and Lenders for payment of) all such taxes, including interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Party under this Section 17.5 with respect to any liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Party or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. 

  
 137 

 17.6. Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Borrowing Agent or any
Borrower or to any Agent or any Lender at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this Section. Any notice, request, demand,
direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 17.6 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which
includes by means of electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”) or facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a website to which Borrowers are directed (an “Internet Posting”) if Notice of such Internet

17.7. Survival. The obligations of Loan Parties under Sections 2.2(f), 2.2(g), 2.2(h), 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 17.5 and 17.9 and the
obligations of Lenders under Sections 2.2, 2.15(b), 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 14.8 and 16.5, shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations. 

17.8. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision
shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible. 

17.9. Expenses. Loan Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent and its
Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for such Agent), and shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Agent, in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the

 140 

 17.10. Injunctive Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party
fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders;
therefore, each Agent, if such Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy. 

17.11. Consequential Damages. No Agent or any Lender, or any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Loan Party (or
any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of
any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document. 
 17.12. Captions. The captions at various places in this
Agreement are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement. 
 17.13.
Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or electronic transmission (including email transmission of a PDF image) shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto. 

17.14. Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto. 

17.15. Confidentiality; Sharing Information. Each Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall hold all non-public information obtained
by such Agent, such Lender or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with such Agent’s, such Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this
nature and such non-public information shall not be disclosed by such Agent, such Lender or such Transferee to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement; provided, however, each Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such
confidential information (a) to its examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors (so long as the Persons to whom such disclosure is made are informed of the confidential nature of such information and have
agreed or are otherwise obligated to keep such information confidential), (b) to any Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees, or to funding and financing sources of any Lender and (c) as required or requested by any
Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further that (i) unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, each Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best
efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify the applicable Loan Party of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection
with an examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process, (ii) any disclosure under subclauses (A) and (B) shall be limited to the portion of
information as may be required by such Governmental Body pursuant to such legal process and 

  
 141 

 
(iii) in no event shall any Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials furnished by any Borrower other than those documents and instruments in possession of any
Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated. Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and
other services may be offered or provided to such Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Loan Party hereby
authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or
Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 17.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall
survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or similar document executed by Agents in favor of any Loan Party or any of any Loan Party’s affiliates, the
provisions of this Agreement shall supersede such agreements. 
 17.16. Publicity. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby authorizes
each Agent to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among Loan Party, Agents and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties as any
Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate. 
 17.17. Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT
Act. 
 (a) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or
a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that
maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agents the certification, or,
if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after
the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 (b) The USA PATRIOT Act requires all
financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Lender may from time to time request, and each
Loan Party shall provide to Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law. 

  
 142

the contrary contained in any Subordinated Loan Document, or other agreement to which any Subordinated Claimholder may 

  
 8 

 
now or hereafter be a party notwithstanding, to the grant by the Obligors of the Liens on the Collateral to secure the Senior Obligations. Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner
or order of grant, attachment, or perfection of any Liens granted to Senior Creditors (or any Senior Lender) or any Subordinated Claimholder in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) the order or time of filing or recordation of
any document or instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of Senior Creditors (or any Senior Lender) or any Subordinated Claimholder in any Collateral, (iii) any provision of the UCC, any other applicable law, any of the Senior Loan
Documents or any of the Subordinated Loan Documents, (iv) whether the Liens securing the Senior Obligations are valid, enforceable, void, avoidable, subordinated, disputed, or allowed, (v) whether or not any such Liens securing any Senior
Obligations or any Subordinated Obligations are perfected, unperfected, avoided, set aside, or subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation or debt of any Obligor or any other Person, (vi) any defect or deficiency or alleged defect or
deficiency in any of the foregoing, or (vii) any other circumstance whatsoever, each of the Senior Creditors, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, and each of the Subordinated Claimholders hereby agree that: 

(1) any Lien with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral securing any Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of,
or created for the benefit of, any Senior Claimholder or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise, shall be senior and prior in all respects to all
Liens with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral securing any Subordinated Obligations; 
 (2) any Lien with respect to all or
any portion of the Collateral securing any Subordinated Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of, or created for the benefit of any Subordinated Claimholder or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant,
possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral securing any Senior Obligations; 

(3) the Lien priority provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be effective at all times and for all purposes. 

(b) Disposition of Collateral; Release of Liens. 

(1) Exclusive Rights of Senior Creditor. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, Senior Creditor, on behalf of the
Senior Claimholders, shall have the exclusive right to make determinations regarding the release or Disposition of any Collateral pursuant to the terms of the applicable Senior Loan Documents or in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
in each case without any consultation with, consent of or notice to Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder. 
 (2)
Lien Release Upon Disposition of Collateral. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, upon any release, sale or Disposition of any Collateral, whether (A) permitted pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents,
(B) resulting from the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by any Senior Creditor, or (C) resulting from any Senior Default Disposition (i) the Lien securing the Subordinated Obligations on such Collateral (excluding any portion of
the proceeds of such Collateral remaining after the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs), (and in the case of any release, sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests or assets of any Obligor that has guaranteed
any Subordinated Obligations, such Obligor’s liability in respect of the Subordinated Obligations) shall be automatically, unconditionally, and simultaneously released with no further consent or action of any Person, and (ii) the
Subordinated Claimholders shall be deemed to have consented under the Subordinated Loan Documents to such release, sale or disposition of such Collateral (and in the case of any release, sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity
interests or assets of any Obligor 

  
 9 

 
that has guaranteed any Subordinated Obligations, the release of such Obligor’s liability in respect of the Subordinated Obligations), and to have waived the provisions of the Subordinated
Loan Documents to the extent necessary to permit such release, sale or disposition (and in the case of any release, sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests or assets of any Obligor that has guaranteed any Subordinated
Obligations, the release of such Obligor’s liability in respect of the Subordinated Obligations). The Subordinated Creditor shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the
Senior Creditors shall request to evidence any release of the Lien securing Subordinated Obligations or any release of the applicable Obligor of the Subordinated Obligations. 

(3) Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, each Subordinated Claimholder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Senior
Creditors and any officer or agent of a Senior Creditor, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Subordinated Claimholder or in Senior
Creditors’ own name, from time to time in Senior Creditors’ discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3(b), to take any and all appropriate action in connection therewith and to execute any and all
documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3(b), including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. 

(c) Waiver of Right to Contest Obligations and Liens. Each of the Senior Creditors, for itself and on behalf of each other Senior
Claimholder, and each Subordinated Claimholder, for itself, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to), directly or indirectly, contest or support any other person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding),
(a) the validity, priority, enforceability or allowance of any claims of any of the Senior Claimholders or any of the Subordinated Claimholders, as the case may be, (b) the priority, validity, or enforceability of a Lien held by or on
behalf of any of the Senior Claimholders in any assets of any of the Obligors or (subject to the terms of this Agreement) by or on behalf of any of the Subordinated Claimholders in any assets of any of the Obligors, as the case may be, or
(c) the validity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement, provided, however that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of Senior Creditor, any other Senior Claimholder,
Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) New Liens. So long as the
Discharge of the Senior Obligations has not occurred, the parties hereto agree that no Obligor shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset to secure any Subordinated Obligations unless such Obligor grants a Lien on such asset to secure
the Senior Obligations concurrently with the grant of a Lien thereon in favor of Subordinated Creditor. To the extent that the foregoing provision is not complied with for any reason (and without limiting any other rights and remedies available to
any Senior Claimholders), each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this subsection (d) shall be subject to
Section 9(b). 
 (e) Agent for Perfection. Senior Creditors and Subordinated Creditor each agree to hold (or cause to be
held) all Control Collateral in their respective possession, custody, or control, including “control” within the meaning of 9-104 of the UCC (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents, bailees, or other similar third parties) as
non-fiduciary agent for the other solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Control Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (such bailment and agency being intended, among other
things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2), 9-313(c), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the UCC). None of the Senior Claimholders or the Subordinated Claimholders, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the
others to assure that the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by any Obligor or any other Person or to preserve their respective rights or benefits or those of any other Person. The duties or 

  
 10 

 
responsibilities of Senior Creditors and Subordinated Creditor under this subsection (e) are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Control Collateral as
non-fiduciary agent for the other for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by Senior Creditors or Subordinated Creditor, as applicable. No Senior Creditor is, and no Senior Creditor shall be deemed to be, a fiduciary of any kind for Subordinated
Creditor or any other Person. Upon the Discharge of the Senior Obligations, Senior Creditors shall, at the expense of Obligors, deliver the remaining Control Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements or assignments, first, to
Subordinated Creditor to the extent Subordinated Obligations remain outstanding as confirmed in writing by Subordinated Creditor, and, to the extent that Subordinated Creditor confirm no Subordinated Obligations are outstanding, second, to Borrowers
to the extent no Senior Obligations or Subordinated Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such person to obtain possession or control of such Control Collateral). 

(f) Insurance. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, (i) Senior Creditors and the other Senior Claimholders shall
have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Senior Loan Documents, to adjust and settle any claim under any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award
granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral; and (ii) all Proceeds of any such insurance policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of
condemnation) shall be paid, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Senior Loan Documents, first in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 9(c), until paid in full in cash, and second, to the owner of
the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Subordinated Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award
or payment in contravention of this subsection (f), it shall pay such Proceeds over to Senior Creditors in accordance with the terms of Section 9(c). 

4. Exercise of Remedies. 

(a) Claim Standstill. No Subordinated Claimholder shall take any Collection Action with respect to any of the Subordinated Obligations
until the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period. 
 (b) Collateral Standstill. At all times prior to the commencement of an
applicable Standstill Period and until the expiration of such Standstill Period, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, no Subordinated Claimholder: 

(1) shall exercise or seek to exercise any right or remedies with respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, any Exercise of
Secured Creditor Remedies) (other than if an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, seeking adequate protection, to the extent permitted by this Agreement); 

(2) shall contest, protest, or object to any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by any Senior Claimholder and no Subordinated Claimholder
shall have any right to direct the Exercise of any Secured Creditor Remedies or other action by any Senior Claimholder; and 
 (3) shall
not object to (and waive any and all claims with respect to) the forbearance by any Senior Claimholder from Exercising any Secured Creditor Remedies. 

(c) Exclusive Enforcement Rights. Until the expiry of the applicable Standstill Period has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency
Proceeding has been commenced by or against any 

  
 11 

 
Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, the Senior Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights as a secured creditor, Exercise Secured Creditor Remedies and make determinations
regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Subordinated Claimholder. The Senior Claimholders shall have the right to enforce the provisions of the Senior Loan
Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion and subject to the terms hereof. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent
appointed by them to sell or otherwise Dispose of Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such Disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, including without
limitation the right to Exercise Secured Creditor Remedies. 
 (d) Permitted Actions by Subordinated Claimholders. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Subordinated Creditor and any other Subordinated Claimholder may take any of the following actions, which shall not constitute a Collection Action or the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies: 

(1) if an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the
Subordinated Obligations; 
 (2) take any action (not adverse to the priority status, taking into account the subordination provisions of
Section 3 hereof, of the Liens on the Collateral securing any of the Senior Obligations, or the rights of any Senior Claimholder to Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies) in order to create, preserve, perfect or protect (but not enforce) its
Lien in and to the Collateral to the extent not prohibited by Section 3(d); 
 (3) file any necessary responsive or defensive
pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding, or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of Subordinated Creditor or any Subordinated Claimholder, including any claims
secured by the Collateral, if any; and 
 (4) vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim with respect to the
Subordinated Obligations; provided, that, in any Insolvency Proceeding, no Subordinated Claimholder shall (i) oppose, object to, or vote against any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement, or join with or support any third party
in doing so, to the extent the terms of such plan or disclosure statement comply with the following clause (ii) and are consistent with the rights of the Senior Creditors and the Senior Claimholders under this Agreement or (ii) support or
vote for any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of any Obligor unless (x) such plan provides for the payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses) on the effective date
of such plan of reorganization, or (y) unless such plan is accepted by the requisite holders of Senior Obligations voting thereon, it being understood that, in the event that any plan is proposed by any debtor, creditor, or other party in
interest in any such Insolvency Proceeding that is inconsistent with or purports to alter the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 5(k) hereof), the Senior Creditors shall be deemed to have been granted, as of the
date hereof, an irrevocable power of attorney to vote the claims of the Subordinated Claimholders against any such plan, with such appointment being coupled with an interest, and the Senior Creditors shall be deemed the “holder” of such
claims within the meaning of Section 1126(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (e) Collateral or Proceeds Received from the Exercise of
Secured Creditor Remedies. Each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has occurred, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by the Subordinated Claimholders will be subject to
Section 9. 

  
 12 

 (f) No Hindrance. Each Subordinated Claimholder hereby: 

(1) agrees that Subordinated Creditor and the other Subordinated Claimholders will not take any action, other than as expressly permitted
under this Agreement, that would restrain, hinder, limit, delay, or otherwise interfere with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by Senior Creditors or any other Senior Claimholder, or any action that is otherwise prohibited hereunder; 

(2) waives any and all rights Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to
object to the manner in which Senior Creditors or any of the other Senior Claimholders, seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens securing the Senior Obligations granted in any of the Collateral undertaken in good faith in
accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of Senior Creditors or any other Senior Claimholder is adverse to the interest of Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder; and

 (3) acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Subordinated Loan Documents (other than this
Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of Senior Creditors or the other Senior Claimholders, with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Loan Documents. 

(g) Judgment Liens. In the event that any Subordinated Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a
result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, to the extent permitted herein, with respect to the Subordinated Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in
relation to the Senior Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Obligations are subject to this Agreement. 
 5.
Insolvency Proceeding. 
 (a) Enforceability and Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after
the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of the Senior Claimholders and the Subordinated Claimholders in or to any Distributions shall continue after the commencement
of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Financing. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, if any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and
Senior Creditors consent to the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; herein, “Cash Collateral”), on which any Senior Creditor has a Lien or permits any Obligor to obtain
financing provided by any one or more Senior Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (such financing, together with any Cash Collateral use, collectively a “DIP
Financing”), to the extent that (1) the maximum aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of outstanding prepetition Senior Obligations that will not be
repaid by such DIP Financing, does not exceed 120% of the Senior Debt Cap and (2) the Liens securing such prepetition Senior Obligations that will not be repaid by such DIP Financing are subordinated or pari passu with such Liens securing the
DIP Financing, then each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that it will (A) consent, and will be deemed to have consented, to the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, as applicable, (B) raise no objection to,
nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (C) not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing,
except as set forth in Section 5(e) below, (D) and will be deemed to have, subordinated hereunder the Liens securing Subordinated 

  
 13 

 
Obligations to (x) such DIP Financing, (y) any adequate protection provided to the Senior Claimholders, and (z) any “carve-out” agreed to by the Senior Creditors or the
other Senior Claimholders, in the case of each of clauses, (x), (y), and (z) above, with such subordination to be on the same terms as the Liens securing Senior Obligations that are subordinated thereto, but on a basis junior to the Liens
securing the DIP Financing provided by the Senior Claimholders (such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), and (E) agree, and will be deemed to have agreed, that notice received two calendar days prior to the
entry of an order approving such usage of the Cash Collateral or approving such DIP Financing shall be adequate notice. 
 (c) Sales.
Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has occurred, each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that it will consent to the Disposition of, and will not object to or oppose a motion to Dispose of, any Collateral free and clear of the Liens or other
claims in favor of Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, if the requisite Senior Claimholders or Senior Creditors, on behalf of the requisite Senior Claimholders, have consented to
such Disposition of such assets. 
 (d) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, each
Subordinated Claimholder agrees that it shall not (i) seek (or support any other person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case, in respect of
the Collateral, without the prior written consent of Senior Creditor, on behalf of the requisite Senior Claimholders, or (ii) oppose or take any other action in derogation of any request by any Senior Creditor or any other Senior Claimholder
for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral. 
 (e) Adequate
Protection. 
 (1) Senior Claimholders. In any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, each Subordinated Claimholder agrees
that none of them shall contest or object (or support any other person contesting or objecting): 
 (A) any request by any Senior Creditor
or any of the other Senior Claimholders for adequate protection (whether in the form of Distributions, liens, priority administrative expense claims, or otherwise) or any adequate protection provided to any Senior Creditor or any of the other Senior
Claimholders; or 
 (B) any objection by any Senior Creditor or any of the other Senior Claimholders to any motion, relief, action, or
proceeding based on a claim of lack of adequate protection (whether in the form of payments, liens, a priority administrative expense claim, or otherwise); or 

(C) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any Senior Creditor or any other Senior Claimholders under
Section 506(b) or Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. 
 (2) Subordinated Claimholders. In any Insolvency
Proceeding involving an Obligor, to the extent that the Subordinated Claimholders were not required to release pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and have not released their Liens on the Collateral on or prior to the date of the commencement
thereof: 
 (i) Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, if any one or more Senior Claimholders are granted
adequate protection in the form of periodic cash payments or in the form of a replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of the Obligors) in 

  
 14 

 
connection with any DIP Financing, then the Subordinated Claimholders shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from the Senior Claimholders, adequate protection in the form of a
replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of the Obligors), which replacement Lien, if obtained, shall be subordinate to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Liens securing such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens
securing the Subordinated Obligations are subordinate to the Senior Obligations under this Agreement. 
 (ii) In the event
that any of the Subordinated Claimholders is granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of the Obligors), then the Subordinated Claimholders agree that Senior Creditors shall also be entitled to seek,
without objection from the Subordinated Claimholders, a senior adequate protection Lien on existing or future assets of the Obligors as security for the Senior Obligations and for any DIP Financing provided by one or more of the Senior Claimholders.
Any adequate protection Lien on such existing or future assets securing the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinated (i) to the Lien on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the Senior
Claimholders, and (ii) to any other Liens granted to the Senior Claimholders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Obligations are so subordinated to such Senior Obligations under this Agreement.

 (3) Allowance of Postpetition Accrual. Neither Subordinated Creditor nor any other Subordinated Claimholder shall object to,
oppose, or challenge any claim by any Senior Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses. 

(f) Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. None of the Subordinated Claimholders shall object to, oppose, support any objection,
or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Claimholder to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Subordinated Claimholder waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Senior Claimholder
arising out of the election by any Senior Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has occurred, each Subordinated Claimholder waives any right it may have to
make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (g) No Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or
in any way limit any Senior Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor to any action taken by Subordinated Creditor or any of the other Subordinated Claimholders which is inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement, including, if it is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the seeking by any Subordinated Claimholder of adequate protection or the assertion by any Subordinated Claimholder of any of their rights and remedies under the
Subordinated Loan Documents. 
 (h) Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise
to turn over, disgorge or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount paid in respect of the Senior Obligations (a “Senior Recovery”), then such Senior Claimholder shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Senior Obligations
with respect to all such recovered amounts, and all rights, interests, priorities and privileges recognized in this Agreement shall apply with respect to any such Senior Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Senior
Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement and to the
extent the Senior Debt Cap was decreased in connection with such payment of the Senior Obligations, the Senior Debt Cap shall be increased to such extent. 

  
 15 

 (i) Distributions of Debt Obligations. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an
Obligor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor, whether or not secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor, are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, (A) on account of
the Senior Obligations, or (B) on account of the Subordinated Obligations, or (C) all on account of the Senior Obligations and the Subordinated Obligations, then the Subordinated Claimholders shall have the right to receive such debt
obligations so long as either the provisions of this Agreement (I) survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and (II) apply with like effect to such debt obligations and the Liens (if any) securing such debt
obligations. 
 (j) Prohibition of Payments of Subordinated Obligations on Acceleration or in Insolvency Proceeding. 

(1) Upon (A) the acceleration of the Subordinated Obligations, or any portion thereof, which has not been rescinded or revoked, or
(B) any payment or distribution of assets of any Obligor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, following commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, there shall be a Discharge of the Senior Obligations before any
Distribution is made on account of any of the Subordinated Obligations; and following commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, any Distribution in respect of the Subordinated Obligations to which a Subordinated Claimholder would be entitled, except
for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by any Obligor or any other Person making such Distribution, or by a Subordinated Claimholder if received by it, directly to Senior Creditor, to the extent necessary to result in the Discharge of the Senior
Obligations, before any Distribution on account of any Subordinated Obligation is made to Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder. 

(2) In any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor, 

(A) any Senior Creditor may, and is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated
Claimholders or otherwise), but shall have no obligation to (x) demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in this Section 5 and give acquittance therefor and (y) file claims and proofs of
claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, provided that Senior Creditors may only file claims and proofs of claims in respect of the Subordinated Obligations if (1) the Subordinated Claimholders have failed to file such claims
and proofs of claim and (2) there shall remain not more than 10 days before such action is barred, prohibited or otherwise cannot be taken; and 

(B) Subordinated Creditor and each other Subordinated Claimholder will duly and promptly take such action, at the expense of Borrowers, as
Senior Creditors may request (x) to collect the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Claimholders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim with respect thereto, (y) to execute and deliver to Senior Creditors such
powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as Senior Creditors may request in order to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Subordinated Obligations,

 6. Waivers by Subordinated Claimholders. 

(a) Senior Obligations. 

(1) All Senior Obligations at any time incurred by any Obligor shall be deemed to have been incurred, and all Senior Obligations held by any
Senior Claimholder shall be deemed to have been extended, acquired or obtained, as applicable, in reliance upon this Agreement, and each Subordinated Claimholder hereby waives (A) notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by any of the Senior
Claimholders of this Agreement, and (B) notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Senior Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any of the Senior
Claimholders from discontinuing the extension of credit to any Obligor (whether under the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise) or from taking (without notice to any Subordinated Claimholder, any Obligor, or any other Person) any other action in
respect of the Senior Obligations or the Collateral which such Senior Claimholder is otherwise entitled to take with respect to the Senior Obligations or the Collateral. 

(2) None of the Senior Claimholders or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise Dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever
with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof. If any Senior Claimholder honors (or fails to honor) a request by Borrowers for an extension of credit pursuant to any of the Senior Loan Documents, whether any Senior Claimholder has
knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of the Subordinated Loan Documents or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default, or if such Senior Claimholder otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Loan Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), no Senior Claimholder shall have any
liability whatsoever to any Subordinated Claimholder as a result of such action, omission, or exercise. Each Senior Claimholder will be entitled to manage and supervise its loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Loan Documents as such
Senior Claimholder may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, and each Senior Claimholder may manage such loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Subordinated Claimholder may have in the Collateral or
otherwise except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that no Senior Claimholder shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application or other Disposition of all or any
portion of the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except to the extent that such Disposition is in direct violation of the provisions of this Agreement. Any Senior Claimholder may, from time to time, enter into agreements and settlements
with Obligors as it may determine in its sole discretion without impairing any of the subordinations, priorities, rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, substituting Collateral, releasing any Lien
and releasing any Obligor. Each Subordinated Claimholder waives any and all rights it may have to require any Senior Claimholder to marshal assets, to exercise rights or remedies in a particular manner, or to forbear from exercising such rights and
remedies in any particular manner or order. 
 (b) Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Subordinated Claimholder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under any of the Senior Loan Documents, or the creation or existence
of any Senior Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Senior Obligations; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Obligor or of any other fact that might increase Subordinated Creditor’s or any other
Subordinated Claimholder’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Senior Loan Documents; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the
Senior Loan Documents 

  
 17 

 
or otherwise relating to the Senior Obligations (other than any notice that may be required by the express terms of this Agreement); (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is
specifically required to be given to Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement) and demands to which Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder might otherwise be entitled. 

(c) Lawsuits; Defenses; Setoff. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subordinated Claimholder, (i) waives the
right by statute or otherwise to require any Senior Claimholder to institute suit against any Obligor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which any Senior Claimholder has or may have against any Obligor; (ii) waives any defense arising by
reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has occurred (subject to the provisions of Section 5(h)) of any Obligor or by reason of the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of such Obligor in respect thereof, (iii) waives any rights to assert against any Senior Claimholder any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which Subordinated Creditor or any Subordinated
Claimholder may now or at any time hereafter have against any Obligor or any other party liable to Senior Creditor, any other Senior Claimholder, Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder, (iv) waives any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of any Senior Obligations, any Subordinated Obligations or any security for either;
and (v) waives any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Senior Claimholder. 

(d) Subrogation. Solely after the Discharge of the Senior Obligations shall have occurred, Subordinated Creditor and the other
Subordinated Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Claimholders to the extent that Distributions otherwise payable to the Subordinated Claimholders have been applied to the payment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement. No Senior Claimholder has, and no Senior Claimholder shall have, any obligation or duty to protect any Subordinated Claimholder’s rights of subrogation arising pursuant to this Agreement or under any applicable
law, and no Senior Claimholder is, and no Senior Claimholder shall be, liable for any loss to, or impairment of, any subrogation rights held by any Subordinated Claimholder. 

(e) ELECTION OF REMEDIES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH
SUBORDINATED CLAIMHOLDER WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY ANY SENIOR CLAIMHOLDER, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF REMEDIES HAS DESTROYED THE RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION OF
SUBORDINATED CREDITOR AND THE OTHER SUBORDINATED CLAIMHOLDERS AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST ANY OBLIGOR BY THE OPERATION OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW. 

7. Amendments; Refinancing, Notice of Default. 

(a) Subordinated Loan Documents. Each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that none of the Subordinated Loan Documents or any other
document, instrument, or agreement evidencing all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations may be amended, restated, supplemented, Refinanced, or otherwise modified, and no new document, instrument or agreement may be entered into, without the
prior written consent of Senior Creditors, on behalf of the requisite Senior Claimholders, to the extent that such amendment, restatement, Refinancing, supplement, other modification or new document, instrument or agreement, would, directly or
indirectly (i) increase the maximum principal amount of the Subordinated Obligations in excess of $50,000,000, (ii) (w) add or increase the rate of interest (paid in cash) on any of the Subordinated Obligations above the interest rate
(paid in cash) set forth in the Subordinated Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), (x) add or increase the rate of interest (paid in kind) on any of 

  
 18 

 
the Subordinated Obligations to a rate in excess of 2.50% per annum above the interest rate (paid in kind) set forth in the Subordinated Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof),
(y) add or increase the default rate of interest above the default interest rate set forth in the Subordinated Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), or (z) add or increase any fee set forth in the Subordinated Credit
Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), (iii) change or add any event of default or any covenant with respect to the Subordinated Obligations in a manner adverse to any Obligor or to the interests of any of the Senior Claimholders;
provided, that, solely with respect to this Section 7(a)(ii), to the extent that (x) the covenants in the Senior Credit Agreement are added or amended in a manner that is more restrictive to any Obligor and (y) such Conforming
Amendment to the Subordinated Credit Agreement maintains an equivalent proportionate difference between dollar amounts or ratios, as the case may be, in the relevant provision in the Subordinated Credit Agreement and those in the corresponding
covenant in the Senior Credit Agreement (to the extent that such difference exists between the Subordinated Credit Agreement and the Senior Credit Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to such Conforming Amendment), then a Conforming
Amendment to the Subordinated Credit Agreement may be made, (iv) change or amend any term of any Subordinated Loan Document if such change or amendment would result in an “Event of Default” under any of the Senior Loan Documents,
(v) contravene the provisions of this Agreement, (vi) provide for or allow any principal amortization payment, or any other payment of the principal balance of the Subordinated Obligations, in each case, on or prior to the date that is 180
days after the final maturity date of the Senior Obligations set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement, (vii) change the date upon which any payments of principal or interest on the Subordinated Obligations are due or change any redemption or
prepayment provisions of the Subordinated Obligations (including the related definitions) to provide for or allow any such payments of principal or interest on the Subordinated Obligations on or prior to the date that is 180 days after the final
maturity date of the Senior Obligations set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the percentages set forth in Section 2.9 of the Subordinated Credit Agreement may be reduced from the percentages set
forth in the Subordinated Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), (viii) add, expand or accept, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise, any Lien or security
interest on any asset of any Obligor, except to the extent that the Senior Creditors have been granted a first priority with respect to such asset, (ix) add or amend any restrictions or limitations on any Person’s ability to make payment
on the Senior Obligations, or (x) add or modify any restrictions on the ability to amend or modify any Senior Loan Document. Any assignee or transferee of Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder shall bind themselves in a
writing addressed to Senior Creditor, for the benefit of the Senior Claimholders, to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement described in this Section 7(a), the subordination
effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Obligations, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Subordinated Creditor and
each other Subordinated Claimholder, as provided in Section 19 below. 
 (b) Senior Loan Documents. Each Senior Claimholder
agrees that none of the Senior Loan Documents applicable to it or any other document, instrument, or agreement evidencing all or any part of the Senior Obligations applicable to it may be amended, restated, supplemented, Refinanced, or otherwise
modified without the prior written consent of Subordinated Creditor, to the extent that the effect of such amendment, restatement, Refinancing or other modification is to (i) increase the maximum principal amount (excluding increases resulting
from the accrual of interest at the default rate or the capitalization of fees, expenses or interest) of the Senior Obligations to an amount in excess of the Senior Debt Cap, or (ii) create additional prohibitions and restrictions, or amend
those set forth herein or in the Senior Credit Agreement, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof (to the extent such amendment would impose additional restrictions) on any Obligor’s ability to make payments on the loans under the
Subordinated Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Senior Obligations, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
Senior Claimholder, as provided in Section 19 below. 

  
 19 

 (c) Notice of Event of Default. Subordinated Creditor shall endeavor to give Senior
Creditors prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default under any Subordinated Loan Document upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date of receipt by Subordinated Creditor of notice of such Event of Default from any Obligor or
any other Person and (ii) the date on which Subordinated Creditor obtains knowledge of the existence of such Event of Default; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not result in a breach or default under
this Agreement and shall not give any Senior Claimholder any claim against any Subordinated Claimholder as a result of such failure. Senior Creditors shall endeavor to give Subordinated Creditor prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Event
of Default under any Senior Loan Document upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date of receipt by Senior Creditors of notice of such Event of Default from any Obligor or any other Person and (ii) the date on which Senior Creditors obtain
knowledge of the existence of such Event of Default (such notice, a “Senior Default Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not result in a breach or default under this Agreement and
shall not give any Subordinated Claimholder any claim against any Senior Claimholder as a result of such failure. 
 8. When Discharge of
the Senior Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If any Obligor enters into any Refinancing of any Senior Obligations permitted under this Agreement, then (i) a Discharge of the Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to
have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) the obligations under such Refinancing of such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as Senior Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien
priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (iii) the agent under the loan documents in respect of such Refinancing of such Senior Obligations shall be Senior Creditors for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) such
new Senior Creditors shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure of such new Senior Creditors to agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement shall not constitute a material
breach of this Agreement or impact the subordination effected hereby, and the terms of this Agreement shall continue to be binding upon each Subordinated Claimholder. 

9. Payments Held In Trust; Turnover; Application of Proceeds. 

(a) Payments Held in Trust/Turnover. In the event that any Subordinated Claimholder receives any Distribution prohibited at such time
by this Agreement, such Distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to or delivered to, as applicable, the Administrative Agent Senior Creditor, for the benefit of the Senior Claimholders. 

(b) Turnover. Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof
(including assets or Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in Section 3(d)) received by Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder in violation hereof shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to
Administrative Agent Senior Creditor, for the benefit of the Senior Claimholders, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Administrative Agent Senior Creditor is
hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for any Subordinated Claimholder. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations. 

(c) Application of Proceeds. Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, any Collateral or
Proceeds thereof received in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies and Proceeds of Collateral received pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 3(f) shall (at such time as such Collateral or Proceeds has been
monetized) be applied: (i) first, to the payment in full in cash the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, (ii) second, to the payment in full
in cash of the 

  
 20 

 
Subordinated Obligations in accordance with the Subordinated Loan Documents, and (iii) thereafter, to Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled
thereto under applicable law. If any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Collateral produces non-cash Proceeds, or if non-cash Proceeds are received pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 4(e), then the
Senior Creditors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to hold such non-cash Proceeds as additional Collateral and, at such time as such non-cash Proceeds are monetized, shall be applied as set forth above. 

10. Representations. Each Senior Creditor represents and warrants to Subordinated Creditor and the other Subordinated Claimholders that
(a) it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement and (b) this Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Senior
Creditors enforceable against such Senior Creditors in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles. Each of the Subordinated Claimholders represents and warrants to the Senior Claimholders that (i) it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry
out the terms of this Agreement, (ii) this Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Subordinated Claimholder enforceable against such Subordinated Claimholder in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles, and (iii) it has
not previously assigned any interest in the Subordinated Loan Documents or any of the Subordinated Obligations and that the entire amount of the Subordinated Obligations is owing only to the Subordinated Creditor. 

11. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any party hereto shall be
effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by Required Senior Claimholders (for themselves and on behalf of other Senior Claimholders) and Required Subordinated Claimholders (for themselves and on behalf of other Subordinated
Claimholders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 

12. Instrument Legends. Any promissory note or other instrument or agreement evidencing any of the Subordinated Obligations shall at
all times include the following language: 
 “Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liens and security interests securing
the obligations evidenced by this [promissory note]/[instrument]/[agreement], the exercise of any right or remedy with respect hereto, and certain of the rights of the holder hereof are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor and
Subordination Agreement dated as of November 26, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Subordination Agreement”), by and among by and among PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Creditors and each other Senior Claimholder from time to time, and MUTUAL QUEST FUND (the “Subordinated Creditor”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Subordination Agreement and this [promissory
note]/[instrument]/[agreement], the terms of the Subordination Agreement shall govern and control.” 
 13. Additional Remedies.

any Obligor’s name, 

  
 21 

 
interpose this Agreement as a defense in any action by Subordinated Creditor or such Subordinated Claimholder. Upon Senior Creditors’ request, Subordinated Creditor and each other
Subordinated Claimholder will promptly take all actions which Senior Creditors may request to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Agreement. 

14. Information Concerning Financial Condition. 

(a) Each Senior Creditor, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Claimholders, hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed
of the financial condition of the Obligors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations and agrees that Subordinated Creditor have and shall have no duty to advise any Senior Claimholder of information
known to Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event that Subordinated Creditor, in their sole discretion, undertakes, at any time or from time to time, to provide any
such information to any Senior Claimholder, then Subordinated Creditor shall not be under any obligation (i) to provide any such information to any Senior Claimholder on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation, or
(iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to its commercial finance practices, Subordinated Creditor wish to maintain confidential. Senior Creditor, for itself and the other Senior Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that neither

interests held in connection therewith. 
 (b) Each Subordinated Claimholder hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of
the financial condition of the Obligors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Subordinated Obligations, and agrees that no Senior Creditor has and no Senior Creditor shall have any duty to advise Subordinated
Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder of information known to any Senior Claimholder regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event that Senior Creditors, in their sole discretion, undertake, at any time or from time to
time, to provide any such information to Subordinated Creditor or any Subordinated Claimholder, then Senior Creditors shall not be under any obligation (i) to provide any such information to Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated
Claimholder on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation, or (iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to its commercial finance practices, Senior Creditors wish to maintain confidential. Each Subordinated

interests held in connection therewith.

each of the Other Documents, I am the duly elected, qualified and acting Chief Financial Officer of Borrowers, and, solely in such capacity, and not individually, I hereby conclude to the best of my knowledge that the execution and delivery of the
Loan Agreement and each of the Other Documents and the granting of any security interests or liens pursuant to the Loan Agreement and any of the Other Documents by Loan Parties (after giving effect to (x) the Plan of Reorganization,
(y) the consummation of the Transactions, including the making of the initial Advances under the Loan Agreement and the incurrence of the other Indebtedness on the date hereof and (z) the application of the proceeds of such initial
Advances and other Indebtedness) will not: 
  

	 	1.	render the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, insolvent (I understand that, in this context, “insolvent” with respect to the Loan Parties means that the present fair saleable value of the assets of the
Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, is less than the amount of liabilities of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis); 

  

	 	2.	leave the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, with property remaining in their hands which would constitute unreasonably small capital for the Loan Parties’ business. In reaching this conclusion, I understand
that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the Loan Parties’ business as presently conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on, to the best of my knowledge, the actual and reasonably anticipated needs for
capital of the business anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties and my review of the Projections (as such term is defined below); or 

  

	 	3.	 cause the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, to be unable to pay its debts as they mature (this conclusion is based, in part, upon my review of the
projections provided by the Loan Parties to the Agents (“Projections”). I have concluded that the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, will not be less than the

	 	
amount that will be required to pay the current debt, short term debt, and long term debt of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis as such debts become due, considering all financing
alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available to the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis. 

 I understand that
the Agents and the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing in connection with the extensions of credit under the Loan Agreement and that no one else shall be entitled to rely on this Certificate. All initially capitalized
terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement, unless specifically defined herein. Unless the context of this Certificate clearly requires otherwise, the term “or” includes the inclusive
meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.”

The LTM period just ended is April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. 

 Therefore, the maximum Permitted Dividend for the period ending Q1 2015 payable within 45 days thereafter would
be calculated as follows:
