Section 1.04 Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with
and all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio set forth in any
Loan Document or any financial definition of any other provision of any Loan Document, and Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent and the Specified Lender Advisors and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to
amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to approval by the Required Lenders and Borrower); provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP before such change, and Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within five days after
delivery of each certificate or financial report required hereunder that is affected thereby a written statement of a Financial Officer of Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the differences that would have resulted if such financial
statements had been prepared without giving effect to such change. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios
referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to
value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards
Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness
shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) without giving effect to any valuation of Indebtedness below its full stated principal amount as a result of application of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, it being agreed that such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all liabilities under or in respect of any lease (whether now
outstanding or at any time entered into or incurred) that, under GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date, would be accrued as rental and lease expense and would not constitute a capital lease obligation in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the
Closing Date shall continue to not constitute a capital lease obligation, in each case, for purposes of the covenants set forth herein and all defined terms as used therein.
Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time the SEC permits or requires United States reporting companies to use IFRS in lieu of GAAP for reporting purposes, Borrower may notify the Administrative
Agent that it has elected to so use IFRS in lieu of GAAP and, upon any such notice, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter be construed to mean IFRS as in effect from time to time; provided that, to the
extent that such election would affect any financial ratio set forth in this Agreement or any requirement set forth in Section 5.01, (i) Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent financial statements and other documents reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender setting forth a reconciliation with respect to such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such election and (ii) if Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change.

ARTICLE II
THE CREDITS
THE CREDITS
Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, (a) each Lender having a DIP New Money Commitment
severally, and not jointly, agrees to make the DIP New Money Loans on the Closing Date to the Borrower by funding to the Borrower and the Escrow Agent (as described below) in an amount equal to such Lender’s DIP New Money Commitment in a single
borrowing (the “Borrowing”), which Borrowings shall be funded into the Escrow Account in an amount equal to $50,000,000 and into an account agreed to by
the Borrower and the Required Lenders in an amount equal to $20,000,000; and (b) each Lender having a DIP Roll Up Commitment severally, and not jointly, agrees to the conversion on the Closing Date of its Pre-Petition Obligations on account of
Pre-Petition New Incremental Loans into the DIP Roll Up Loans in an amount equal to such Lender’s DIP Roll Up Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed. The Borrower may request disbursements from the Escrow
Account in accordance with Section 4.03 of this Agreement.
Section 2.02 Loans.
(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to
lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), (x) any
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.
(b) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or
Eurodollar Loans as Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03.
Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option
shall not affect the obligation of the Lender to make such Loan and the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than eight (8) Eurodollar Borrowings in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes
of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(c) [reserved]
40
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender before the date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of
such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(c), and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative
Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater
of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of Borrower, the greater of the interest rate applicable at
the time to ABR Loans and the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender shall subsequently repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement, and Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease and any amounts previously so paid by Borrower shall be returned to Borrower.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect
to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
Section 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. To
request a Borrowing, Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile (or other electronic transmission), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00
p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request for a Loan
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing;
(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(c) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
(d) the location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds not deposited in the Escrow Account are to be
disbursed; and
(e) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b) and (c) are satisfied as of the date of the
notice.

Section 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.
(a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date, and to the extent not previously irrevocably paid in full in cash,
all Loans and Obligations shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All amounts borrowed and repaid hereunder shall not be reborrowed.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to
such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c) The Administrative Agent
shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the
accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.04(b) and (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower and the other Loan Parties to pay,
and perform, the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such entries, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(e) Any Lender by written
notice to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall promptly prepare and deliver to Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly
(and, in all events, within five (5) Business Days of receipt), execute and deliver to such Lender, a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in the form of Exhibit I, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the Lender and its registered assigns.
(f) Upon the consummation of
the Plan of Reorganization, subject to the satisfaction, or waiver, of the conditions set forth in the Exit Facility Term Sheet and otherwise substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit
Agreement (as defined below), the Borrower may exercise an option to continue or convert the Loans into an exit term facility financing (the “Exit Conversion”). If the Borrower elects to exercise the Exit
Conversion, subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Required Lenders of the conditions contained in the Exit Facility Term Sheet and the Exit Facility Credit Agreement (as defined below) each Lender, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to
continue its Loans hereunder outstanding on the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization as loans under, and subject entirely and exclusively to the terms and provisions of, the definitive documentation to be mutually agreed (including a credit
agreement governing the continuation and conversion of the Loans, the “Exit Facility Credit Agreement”) and related documentation to the extent that such documentation is substantially consistent with the
Exit Facility Term Sheet and contains substantially the terms set forth in the Exit Facility Term Sheet (as determined in good faith by the Required Lenders) and is otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders.
42
(g) Subject to Section 2.04(f), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree that, upon the
effectiveness of the Exit Facility Credit Agreement:
(i) the Borrower, in its capacity as reorganized Borrower, and each Guarantor, in its capacity
as a reorganized Guarantor, shall assume all the Obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans and all other obligations in respect thereof in the manner set forth in the Exit Facility Credit Agreement and related loan documents;
(ii) the Loans hereunder shall be continued or converted, as the case may be, as loans under
the Exit Facility Credit Agreement;
(iii) each Lender hereunder shall be a lender under the Exit Facility Credit Agreement in
respect of its Loans continued or converted as the case may be;
(iv) the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be the administrative agent and collateral
agent under the Exit Facility Credit Agreement (provided that the Exit Facility Credit Agreement and related documentation is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the administrative agency fee payable to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Exit Facility Credit Agreement is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders); and
(v) with respect to the Loans, this Agreement and all Obligations hereunder with respect
thereto shall terminate and be superseded and replaced by the Exit Facility Credit Agreement.

Finance LLC, the fronting fee set forth in the Fee Letter (the “Fronting Fees”).

at the times separately agreed upon between Borrower and the applicable Agents.

to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Borrower shall pay the Fees provided under Section 2.05(c) directly to the Agents. Once paid, none of the Fees that are required to be paid
hereunder shall be refundable under any circumstances.
43
Section 2.06 Interest on Loans. (a)
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), (i) the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Loan Margin in effect from time to time.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
overdue principal amount of any Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all overdue interest in respect of each Loan, and all overdue fees or other overdue amounts owed in respect of the Obligations shall be payable upon demand and
shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of principal of or interest on any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Sections 2.06(a) and (b)

or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan before the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by
reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day); provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.14, bear interest for one day. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding.
Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

Section 2.08 Interest Elections. (a)

Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each
such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
44
(b) To make an election
pursuant to this Section 2.08, Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile (or by other electronic transmission), a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.
(c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options
are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, or if outstanding Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered before the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less
than $500,000.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Asset Sales. Not later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any

amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

from a Casualty Event by any Company, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10(h).
(f) Reserved.
(g) Foreign Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10, mandatory
prepayments as a result of Section 2.10(c) in respect of a Foreign Subsidiary (i) may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to the extent the making of any such mandatory prepayment from the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale of
any property or assets referred to in Section 2.10(c) received by any Foreign Subsidiary would give rise to a materially adverse tax consequence as reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative
Agent (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit received in connection with such repatriation and after the Borrower and the applicable Foreign Subsidiary have used commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such materially adverse
tax consequence in order to make such prepayments) and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as such material adverse tax consequence continues to exist; provided that the aggregate amount of mandatory prepayments
that have not been applied to the prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this subclause (h) shall not exceed $1,000,000 during the life of this Agreement; provided further that such Net Cash Proceeds of any such Asset Sale of any property or
assets referred to in Section 2.10(c) shall be applied to prepay any Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary permitted to be prepaid by this Agreement or reinvested in the business of any Company as permitted to be reinvested by this
Agreement; provided further that if an Event of Default is then continuing, no prepayment of any such Indebtedness (other than any prepayment required by the terms of such Indebtedness) or reinvestments shall be permitted, and (ii) may be
retained if prohibited under applicable local law (as reasonably determined by the Borrower); provided that such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not
permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and
once such repatriation is permitted under the applicable local law, unless such prepayment amount may be retained under foregoing clause (i), such repatriation shall be promptly effected.
46
(h) Prepayments, if any, required or optionally made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be applied to repay the
principal amount of the Loans plus any interest accrued and unpaid on such Loans.
Section 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest.
If before the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error)
either (i) that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or (ii) that adequate and reasonable means (including by means of an Interpolated
Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and any Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
Section 2.12 Increased Costs; Change in Legality.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge, liquidity or similar requirement against Property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate);
(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; or
(iii) subjects the Administrative Agent, any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.15 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, principal, letters of credit, Commitments, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
47
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, by an amount deemed by such recipient to be material of making, converting to or from,
continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan)or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder by an amount deemed by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to be material (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to the Administrative Agent and each Lender regardless of any possible
contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
(b) If any Lender determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law regarding
Capital Requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or (b) shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; provided, however, that such certificate need not include any confidential or price sensitive information or any information that is prohibited by applicable Legal
Requirements from being disclosed. Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180
days before the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180‑day period referred to above shall be extended to indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any
Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:
48
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of
such unlawfulness (as determined in good faith by such Lender)) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon
any request for a Eurodollar Loan (or to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or to continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an
ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn by such Lender by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative
Agent; and
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which
event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.12(f).
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that
would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
(f) For purposes of Section 2.12(e), a notice to Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each
Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Borrower.
Section 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay
any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section
2.16, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event and any liquidation or deployment of deposits required by such Lender to make, maintain or convert to such Loan.
In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of
such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (together with any interest payable at the Default Rate, if then applicable, but excluding loss of margin or anticipated profit) that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the Eurodollar market, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13
shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt thereof; provided, however, that such
certificate need not include any confidential or price sensitive information or any information that is prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements from being disclosed.
49
Section 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment;
Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.10(h), 2.12,
2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, before 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 Attn: Internap Corporation Account Manager, except that payments pursuant to Sections
2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute
any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified
otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall
be made in Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, interest and fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards the payment of all other Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amount of such amounts then due
to such parties.
50
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to Section
10.08) or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Security Documents), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to
the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any Eligible Assignee or participant, other than to any Company or any Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14(c)
shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against
each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable Insolvency Law any Secured Party
receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the
rights of such Secured Party under this Section 2.14(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from Borrower before the date on which any
payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.14(d)
or 10.03(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.15 Taxes. (a) Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements. If applicable Legal
Requirements (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the
Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent, any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, reductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party, if
applicable, shall make such deductions, reductions or withholdings and (iii) the relevant Loan Party, if applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted, reduced or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Legal Requirements.
51
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten
(10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender(in each case, with a copy delivered concurrently to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i)
any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any
Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or
paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any
and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days following
any such payment being due, by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
Tax Return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
52
(f) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments
under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. In addition, any Lender, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution, and submission of such documentation 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 prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Foreign Lender shall, to
the extent it is legally entitled to do so, furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest
under any Loan Document, two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as
applicable, (or any successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty, (B) two accurate and complete originally executed
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or any successor forms), (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two accurate and originally executed
certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms), or (D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY (or any successor forms), accompanied by
two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3,
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, and/or other certification documents (or any successor forms), as applicable, from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.15(f) if such beneficial owner were a lender; provided
that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender
may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and (E) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made and (ii) any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
53
(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under
FATCA if such Lender were to fail 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 shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such
payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(g), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments to FATCA after the date hereof.
(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or an assignee) determines in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower (or with respect to which Borrower’s payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay
over an amount equal to such refund to Borrower within a reasonable period and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days of such determination, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
assignee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay all or a portion of such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender (or assignee), shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower that is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
assignee), as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority. Nothing
contained in this Section 2.15(h) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it deems confidential or privileged to Borrower or any other Person.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) in a
less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) would have been in if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld,
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid.
54
Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of
Lenders.
(a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b),
or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b) or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require such
Lender to take any action inconsistent with legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, whether from an economic, legal, regulatory or reputational standpoint or otherwise. Borrower shall pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation
pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b), (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.12(e), (iii) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.15, (iv) any Lender fails to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by Borrower that requires the consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and,
which, in each case, has been consented to by the Lenders or affected Lenders holding the majority of the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding and/or unused commitments applicable thereto, as the case may be, or (v) any Lender or
defaults in its obligations to make Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an Eligible Assignee (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b) or 2.15) which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (u) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction of such compensation or payment thereafter, (w) except in the case of clause (iv) above if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification of the applicable
Loan Document would cure any Default or Event of Default then ongoing, no such Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable Legal Requirement, (y) Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the
sum of the principal of and interest and any prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender affected by such assignment plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the
account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 2.12 and 2.13); provided further that, if before any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that
resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or notice under Section 2.12(e) or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer
increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.12(e), or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.15, as
the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a)), or if such Lender shall irrevocably waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) in
respect of such circumstances or event or shall irrevocably withdraw its notice under Section 2.12(e) or shall irrevocably waive its right to further payments under Section 2.15 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall
consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative
Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder
in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16(b).
55
(c) Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”, and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and
Loans shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except that the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitments and Loans shall be included for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on the matters set forth in Section 10.02(b)(i)-(x) and Section 10.02(b)(xiii) (including the granting of any consents or waivers).
For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the
definition of “Defaulting Lender,” (ii) “Defaulted Loan” means the Loans of a Defaulting Lender; (iii) “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the
period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (a) [reserved], (b) with respect to any Funding Default (other than any such Funding Default arising pursuant to clause (e) of the
definition of “Defaulting Lender”), the date on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender or
by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof or any combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Commitment(s), and (c) the date on which Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such
Defaulting Lender in writing, and (iv) “Default Excess” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Loans of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Loans) over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender.
56
No amount of the Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.16(c), performance by Borrower of its obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of Section 2.16(c). The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under Section
2.16(c) are in addition to other rights and remedies that Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect
to any Funding Default.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders (with references in this Article III to the Companies being references
thereto after giving effect to the Transactions unless otherwise expressly stated) on the Closing Date and upon each Credit Event thereafter that:
Section 3.01 Organization; Powers; Regulatory
Licenses.
(a) Each Company (i) is duly incorporated or organized and validly existing and is in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (ii) subject to the entry of and terms of the DIP Order and other orders of the Bankruptcy Court, as applicable, has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals (including franchises, ordinances and other agreements granting access to public rights of way, issued or granted to any Company by a state or federal agency or commission or other federal, state or
local or foreign regulatory bodies, in each case, regulating competition and telecommunications businesses) (collectively, the “Regulatory Licenses”) to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed
to be conducted and (iii) is qualified, licensed and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the applicable jurisdiction) to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except in such jurisdictions
where the failure to so qualify, be licensed or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Each Regulatory License is valid and in full force and effect and has not been, or will not have been,
suspended, revoked, cancelled, restricted, terminated, not renewed or adversely modified, except to the extent any failure to be valid or in full force and effect or any suspension, revocation, cancellation, restriction, termination, nonrenewal or
modification has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No Regulatory License is subject to (i) any conditions or requirements that have not been imposed generally upon
licenses in the same service, unless such conditions or requirements would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any pending regulatory proceeding (other than those affecting the
communications industry generally) or judicial review before a Governmental Authority, unless such pending regulatory proceedings or judicial review would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect. No Loan Party has knowledge of any event, condition or circumstance that would preclude any Regulatory License from being renewed in the ordinary course (to the extent that such Regulatory License is renewable by its terms), except where
the failure to be renewed has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
57
(c) The licensee of each Regulatory License is in compliance with each Regulatory License and has fulfilled and
performed, or will fulfill or perform, all of its obligations with respect thereto in a timely manner, including with respect to the filing of all reports, notifications and applications required by the Communications Act or the rules, regulations,
policies, instructions and orders of the FCC or any PUC, and the payment of all regulatory fees and contributions, except (i) for exemptions, waivers or similar concessions or allowances and (ii) where such failure to be in compliance or to fulfill
or perform its obligations or pay such fees or contributions has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) One or more Loan Parties owns, directly or indirectly through one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, all of
the Equity Interests in, and Controls, all of the voting power and decision-making authority of, each licensee of the Regulatory Licenses, except for any Regulatory License the termination of which could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, and each such licensee is a Subsidiary.
Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability.
Subject to the entry of and the terms of the DIP Order, the Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action
on the part of each such Loan Party. Subject to the entry of and terms of the DIP Order, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party,
when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
Section 3.03 No Conflicts; No Default.

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect as of the date such information is dated or certified; provided that,
with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that any such projected financial
information is not to be viewed as fact, is not a guarantee of financial performance and is subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond any Company’s control, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections

Each Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to
all Employee Benefit Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan complies in all material respects, and is operated and maintained in compliance in all material respects, with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service for all required
amendments and nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Each Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan complies in all material respects, and is operated and maintained in compliance in all material
respects, with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of
the Code has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service for all required amendments and nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Each Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in
material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans. Each Employee Benefit
Plan complies in all material respects, and is operated and maintained in compliance in all material respects, with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service for all required amendments and nothing has occurred which

(b) No ERISA Event (i) has occurred or (ii) is expected to occur, and with respect to subsection (ii), to which
any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates is reasonably expected to incur any material liability. No Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability. Within the last six years, no Pension Plan has been terminated, whether or not in a “standard
termination” as that term is used in Section 4041 of ERISA under which any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates has any liability which has not been satisfied in full, nor has any Pension Plan (determined at any time within the last six years)
with an Unfunded Pension Liability been transferred outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods
consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent
fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, have not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.
63
(c) With respect to Canadian Pension Plans: (i) as of the Closing Date, no steps have been taken to terminate
any Canadian Pension Plan (wholly or in part) which could result in any Company being required to make an additional contribution to the Canadian Pension Plan; (ii) no Canadian Pension Plan is a “defined benefit” pension plan governed by the
Pension Benefits Act (Ontario), (iii) all contributions (including employee contributions made by authorized payroll deductions or other withholdings) required to be made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the terms of each
Canadian Pension Plan have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the terms of each Canadian Pension Plan, in each case in all material respects; and (iv) each Canadian Pension Plan is maintained in all material respects
in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.
(d) To the extent applicable, each Foreign Plan has been established, administered and maintained in substantial
compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all Legal Requirements and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, in each case in all material respects. No Company has incurred any
material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the
most recently ended, fiscal year of the respective Company on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the Property of such Foreign Plan, and for each Foreign Plan which is not funded, the
obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued. All contributions or payments which are due with respect to each Foreign Plan have been made in full, in each case in all material respects. All amounts payable under any Foreign Plan are
properly reflected on the financial statements of the applicable Company.

sentence is in full force and effect, all premiums in respect thereof have been duly paid. Except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, all Real Property of each Company, and
the use, occupancy and operation thereof, comply in all respects with all Insurance Requirements.

(or will be paid from the proceeds of such Loans).
(g) Approved Budget. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used as set forth in the Approved Budget (subject to the Permitted Variance).
Section 4.03 Conditions to Withdrawal Fund.
In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 above (all of which shall be conditions to any Withdrawal as well), any Withdrawal on or after the Closing Date is subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions precedent:
(a) The Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders and the Specified Lender Advisors) shall have received an executed Withdrawal Notice, executed by the Borrower requesting the proposed Withdrawal thereunder by no later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time on the Thursday of the week (excluding the week of the Closing Date) for a proposed funding of such Withdrawal on Friday of such week.
69
(b) The Unrestricted Cash plus the amounts maintained in the Escrow Account shall be not less than $15,000,000 at
the time of the applicable Withdrawal Notice (the “Withdrawal Condition”); provided, however, that the Withdrawal Condition shall not apply to the final Withdrawal
occurring immediately prior to the substantial consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and the Exit Conversion (pursuant to which such amounts shall be disbursed to the reorganized Borrower or to an escrow account in accordance with the Exit
Facility Credit Agreement).
(c) The minimum amount of such Withdrawal shall not be less than $1,000,000.
(d) The proceeds of the Withdrawal shall be used as set forth in the Approved Budget (subject to the Permitted
Variance).
Upon receipt of the Withdrawal Notice and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to disburse funds by 1:00 p.m., Local
Time, on the Friday immediately following such Withdrawal Notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders determine that the Borrower has failed to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 and 4.03 of this Agreement for a Withdrawal
Notice and so advise the Administrative Agent in writing (directly or through the Specified Lender Advisors) prior to Administrative Agent funding the Withdrawal, the Administrative Agent shall decline to fund such Withdrawal.
On any date on which the Loans shall have been accelerated, any amounts remaining in the Escrow Account, as the case may be, may be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the Loans then
outstanding, in accordance with Section 2.11(b) (other than with respect to amounts to fund the Carve-Out). None of the Loan Parties shall have (and each Loan Party hereby affirmatively waives) any right to withdraw, claim or assert any property
interest in any funds on deposit in the Escrow Account upon the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default.
The acceptance by the Borrower of the Loans or proceeds of a Withdrawal shall conclusively be deemed to constitute a representation by the Borrower that each of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 and 4.03 (as applicable) shall have been satisfied in accordance with its respective terms or shall have been irrevocably waived by the applicable relevant Person; provided, however, that the making
of any such Loan or Withdrawal (regardless of whether the lack of satisfaction was known or unknown at the time), shall not be deemed a modification or waiver by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party of the provisions of this Article
4 on such occasion or on any future occasion or operate as a waiver of (i) the right of Administrative Agent and Lenders to insist upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent with respect to any subsequent funding or issuance, (ii) any
Default or Event of Default due to such failure of conditions or otherwise or (iii) any rights of any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure of the Loan Parties to comply.

therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to the Secured Obligations set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is
agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

ARTICLE IX
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 9.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby accept such
designations and appointments. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are
solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any
and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In performing
its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
104
(b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, based upon the instruction of the
Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by Collateral Agent under the provisions of the UCC or PPSA, including
pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC (or any equivalent provision of the UCC or the PPSA), at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or at any other sale or
foreclosure conducted by Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
(c) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting
Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement a security interest can be perfected by
possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request therefor,
shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.
Section 9.02 Agent in Its Individual Capacity.
Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
105
Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability, if the Agent is not indemnified to its satisfactory, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any
action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency Law or that may effect a foreclosure, modification or termination of Property of a Defaulting Lender under any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in
the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or
any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as
any Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a
final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by Borrower, a Lender, and
no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan
Document. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings
and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service
providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers,
partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents.
Section 9.04 Reliance by Agent. Each
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender before the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants
and other Advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such Advisors.
106
Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through, or
delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required for (i) any delegation of a material portion of the duties of such Agent (taken as a whole) or (ii) any delegation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower; provided, however, if Borrower fails to reply to any delegation request pursuant to this Section 9.05
within two (2) Business Days, Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent to such request; provided, further, Borrower consent shall not be required if such delegation is, in the opinion of such Agent, necessary or advisable to create, maintain, or perfect the security interest in or Lien
on the Collateral. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities
provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment
that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.
Section 9.06 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which successor shall be (i) a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State
thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, or an Affiliate of such institution, or (ii) another entity satisfactory to the Required
Lenders; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a successor Agent that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the
qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Required
Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent.
107
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX, Section 10.03 and Sections 10.08 to 10.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.
Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each
document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise
maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as
it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 9.08 Reserved. Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and each of its Related
Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower or the Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of Borrower or the Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on which
indemnification is sought under this Section 9.09 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding
Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately before such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of,
the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by
such Agent or Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR
SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from such Agent’s or Related Person’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.09 shall survive the
payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
108
Section 9.09 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or
any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence
any remedial procedures or cause any of the foregoing (through Affiliates or otherwise), with respect to any Collateral or any other Property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of
the Required Lenders). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders), it will not take
any enforcement action, accelerate Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable Legal Requirements to credit bid or purchase any portion of the Collateral at any sale or foreclosure
thereof referred to in Section 9.01(b); provided that nothing contained in this Section shall affect any Lender’s right to credit bid its pro
rata share of the Obligations pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 9.10 Withholding Taxes. To the
extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim
that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative
Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to a Loan
Document without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative
Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.
Section 9.11 Lender’s Representations, Warranties and
Acknowledgements. (a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Events hereunder and that
it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such
appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any
responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent or Related Person of any Agent has made any representation or warranty to it. Except for documents
expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party,
including the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, that may come in to the possession of an Agent or any of its Related Persons.
109
(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption and funding
its Loan, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.
Section 9.12 Security Documents and Guarantee.
(a) Agents under Security Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guarantee, the Collateral and the Loan
Documents. Subject to Section 10.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (acting at the Required Lenders’ direction), as applicable, may execute any
documents or instruments necessary to in connection with a sale or Disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other Disposition of assets.
(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents
to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the
Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof,
and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section
1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or
licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other Disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall
be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or Disposition, to use and apply any of the
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other Disposition.
(c) Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral subject to any Disposition permitted by the Loan Documents.
110
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document,
when all Secured Obligations under clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or
expired, upon request of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any other Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required or reasonably requested to release
its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Secured Obligations under clause (c) of the definition
thereof. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall
be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any
representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor
shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
Section 9.13 Administrative Agent May File
Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be
due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:
(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its
sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;
(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of
the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.02 and 10.03) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and
111
(c) to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and
all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(c) To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent
agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.
113
(d) Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the
other Agents, the Lenders by posting the Communications on a Platform. The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications,
or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any
warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall any
Agent have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, whether or not based on strict liability and including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether
in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or related to any Loan Party’s or any Agent’s transmissions of Communications through Internet (including the Platform), except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross
negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by
the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of
material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent
caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its
e-mail address shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the
Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic
communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
(f) Each Loan Party, each Lender and each Agent agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.
(g) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all
times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and
applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Non-Public Information with
respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or
otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope
of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
114
Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No
failure or delay by any Agent, any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be permitted by Section 10.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be
construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on Borrower or any other Loan Party in any
case shall entitle Borrower or any other Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Subject to Section 2.16(c), Section 2.20(g), Section 2.21(c) and Sections 10.02(c)
and (d), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document)
and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:
(i) increase or extend the expiry date of the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default (or any definition used, respectively, therein),
mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase in or extension of the expiry date of the Commitment of any Lender for purposes of this clause (i));
(ii) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of any Loan or reduce the rate of
interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii));
115
(iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of or the
installment otherwise due on the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.09, or the required date of payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount
of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly
and adversely affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default (or any definition used, respectively,
therein), mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of the maturity date or other scheduled payment of any Loan or constitute an extension of the expiration date of any Lender’s commitment);
(iv) change Section 2.14(b) or (c) or Section 8.04 in a manner that
would alter the order of or the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;
(v) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other
provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 10.02) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender;
(vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their respective Guarantees
(except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender;
(vii) except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or any Security Document, release all or
substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional Secured
Obligations equally and ratably with the other Secured Obligations), in each case without the written consent of each Lender;
(viii) change Section 10.04(h) without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any
part of whose Loans are being funded by any SPC at the time of any such amendment, waiver or other modification;
(ix) change Section 10.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments
thereunder without the written consent of each Lender;
(x) permit assignments by any Loan Party of its rights or obligations under the Credit
Facilities without the written consent of each Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent; or
(xi) subordinate the Obligations under the Loan Documents to any other Indebtedness;
116
provided, further, nothing
herein shall be construed to require the consent of each Lender to the conversion of the Loans into the Exit Facility Credit Agreement as provided in Section 2.04; provided, further, that no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to
the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (z) Section 2.16(b) is complied with.
(c) Without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect
the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional Property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by applicable Legal Requirements to give
effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any Property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Legal Requirements.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written
consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest
and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders; (y) Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19, Section 2.20
and Section 2.21; and (z) the Loan Documents may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) at the request of the Borrower if such amendment,
modification, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to (a) comply with local Requirements of Law or advice of counsel or (b) cure any ambiguity, omission or mistake, in each case, so long as such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver
does not directly and adversely affect the rights of any Lender and such amendment, modification, supplement or shall be deemed approved by the Required Lenders if such Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice
of such change and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.
117

(a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay, promptly upon demand:
(i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders
(including the costs and expenses of the Specified Lender Advisors), the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of the Specified Lender Advisors and the Advisors to the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent, in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the administration of the Credit Events and Commitments, the perfection and
maintenance of the Liens securing the Collateral (including, without limitation, conducting Collateral audits from time to time) and any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the Loan Documents (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated);
(ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders,
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, including the fees, charges and disbursements of the Specified Lender Advisors and the Advisors for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in connection with any action, claim, suit,
litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding affecting the Collateral or any part thereof, in which action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding the Ad Hoc Group of Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the Collateral or any part thereof is threatened, or in which it becomes necessary in the judgment of the Ad Hoc Group of Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
to defend or uphold the Liens granted by the Security Documents (including any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance of the Collateral with any Legal Requirements);
(iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders,
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of the Specified Lender Advisors and the Advisors for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent with respect to any
of the foregoing incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03(a), or in connection with the Loans made hereunder and the collection of the
Secured Obligations, including all such costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Secured Obligations; and
(iv) all Other Taxes in respect of the Loan Documents.
118
The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agents, each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and related expenses, including reasonable Advisors fees,
charges and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”), incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the
execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, (ii) any actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened
Release of Hazardous Materials, on, at, under or from any Property owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim or threatened Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company, (v) any past, present or future
non-compliance with, or violation of, Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits applicable to any Company, or any Company’s business, or any Property presently or formerly owned, leased, or operated by any Company or their predecessors in interest,
(iv) the environmental condition of any Property owned, leased, or operated by any Company at any time, or the applicability of any Legal Requirements relating to such Property, whether or not occasioned wholly or in part by any condition, accident
or event caused by any act or omission of any Company, (vii) the imposition of any environmental Lien encumbering any Real Property, (viii) the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the syndication
of the Credit Facilities) or (ix) any actual or prospective action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party
or by any Loan Party or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, apply (x) to disputes solely between or among the
Indemnitees or disputes solely between or among Indemnitees and their respective Affiliates, other than disputes arising out of any act or omission on the part of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (y) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment to have directly resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of such
Indemnitee’s controlled or controlling affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or representatives (collectively, such Indemnitee’s “Indemnitee Related
Persons”), or (z) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Indemnitee Related Persons of its obligations under any Loan Document (as determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
(b) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent or Lender, which consent(s) will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, the Loan Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of the subject matter of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 10.03(b)
unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all Indemnitees.
(c) The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and any other Secured Obligations, the release of any Guarantor or of all or any
portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents or any Lender. All
amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.
119
(d) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the
Agents, under Section 10.03(a) or (b) in accordance with Section 10.03(g), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time
that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any
party hereto or any third party); provided that the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents in its capacity as such. For purposes of this Section 10.03(e), a
Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan
Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
except to the extent such Indemnitee is found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any of its Indemnitee Related
Persons.
(f) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than 10 days after receipt of
demand therefor.
Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender,
which consent may be withheld in their respective sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void); provided that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall only consent to such assignment at the written direction of the Required Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.04(e) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than to any Company or
any Affiliate thereof or any Defaulting Lender or a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:
120
(i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund, (B) contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in this Section 10.04(b)(i) in the aggregate, (C) any assignment made in connection with the primary syndication of the
Commitments and Loans or (D) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as
of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000; provided that the foregoing amounts may be reduced with
the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default or Default under Section 8.01(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by any Lender to an Affiliate or an Approved
Fund of such Lender;
(iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire;
(v) such assignment shall be permitted by, and in accordance with, the RSA; and
(vi) each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to
such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, any consent of Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required so long as
such assignment is permitted by, and made in accordance with, the RSA or in connection with the Primary Syndication, (y) Jefferies Finance LLC, as the initial lender, may assign any of its Loans and/or Commitments hereunder (i) without the consent of
the Borrower required and (ii) without regard to any minimum assignment amount requirements, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating
to, Eligible Assignees. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided that any liability of Borrower to such assignee under Section 2.12,
2.13 or 2.15 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the
date of such assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03).
121
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain
at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and stated interest on the Loans owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment
required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has
been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(b). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 10.04 shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(e).
122
(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any other Person to sell participations to any Person (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof, a Defaulting Lender or a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the
sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section 10.02(b) and (2) directly and adversely affects such
Participant. Subject to Section 10.04(f), each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 (but subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 2.16) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). To
the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to
be subject to Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of its Participants, the principal amounts of and stated interest on, and terms of, its participations (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender (and Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from Borrower) 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. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or
other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 (c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for
maintaining a Participant Register.
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.13
or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of Borrower
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or the greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date the participation was sold to the Participant.
(g) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 or any other central bank, and this Section 10.04(g)
shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this
Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.
123
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to
provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute
a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that nothing herein shall make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate Borrower or any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly,
obligate Borrower or any other Loan Party in any manner to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of Borrower. The Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal
solely with, and obtain good discharge from, the Granting Lender and shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any
provision of any Loan Document. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC
shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive
the termination of this Agreement) that, before the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04(h),
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any
financial institutions (consented to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
Non-Public Information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(i) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall
be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirement, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, failure of any condition set forth in Article IV to be satisfied or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit
is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation (other than (i) contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable, and (ii) so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Article IX and Sections 2.12 to 2.15, 9.06, 10.03 and 10.08 to 10.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
124
Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision
of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.08 Right of Setoff; Marshalling; Payments
Set Aside. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) (excluding Excluded Accounts, as defined in the
Security Agreement, and any Trust Funds held therein, as defined in the Security Agreement) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any
Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. None of any Agent, any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in
payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent Lender enforces any security interests or
exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
125
Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of
Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the
State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction, except to the extent the law of the State of New York is superseded by the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY
COURT. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AGENT
AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH HEREIN. THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED
BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT
AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR
NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS.

disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other Advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such

provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided that the
disclosure of any such Information to any such Person shall be made subject to the acknowledgment and acceptance by such Persons that such Information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this Section 10.12
or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, as agreed in any confidential information memorandum or other marketing materials), (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or

labeled “Public-Contains Only Public Information,” or (y) any such information is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis before disclosure by Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section 10.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information.
127
Section 10.12 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and
other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the
rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of
such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 10.13 Assignment and Assumption.
Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement (other than the Administrative Agent and any other Lender that is a signatory hereto) shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption duly executed by each of the
Persons required to be party thereto.
Section 10.14 Obligations Absolute. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of
any Loan Party;
(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto against any Loan Party;
128
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection or loss of priority of any Liens on any or all of the Collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;
(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect
hereof or any Loan Document; or
(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Loan
Parties.
Section 10.15 Waiver of Defenses; Absence of Fiduciary
Duties. (a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses available to it as a Guarantor arising out of the joint and several nature of its respective duties and obligations hereunder (including any defense
contained in Article VII).
(b) Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be
deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree
that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other,
and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other
matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders,
creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect
to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with
such transaction or the process leading thereto.
Section 10.16 Reinstatement. To the extent
that any payments on the Indebtedness or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, receiver and manager,
interim receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law or other Insolvency Law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Indebtedness so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received
and the Secured Parties’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and each Loan
Party shall take (and shall cause each other Loan Party to take) such action as may be requested by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders to effect such reinstatement.
129
Section 10.17 USA Patriot Act. Each
Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and taxpayer
identification number of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
Section 10.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In
of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any
Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such
liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of
ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights
with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the
Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
