The Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium, (iv) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.02(e), (v) the agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans, and (vi) the Prepayment Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of any of the foregoing events. Section 2.03. Use of Proceeds; the Loans and the Notes; Disbursement. (a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to repay existing debt, fund the Closing Date Acquisition, pay related fees and expenses, and for working capital. (b) The Loans and the Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of and interest on the Loan shall be evidenced by one or more Notes setting forth the principal amount of the Loans and the payments due. Agent shall keep a record of the payments made under each Note on its Books which records shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts paid under the Notes absent manifest error. Any failure by a Lender to obtain or retain a Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower to pay amounts due hereunder with respect to the Loans. (c) Notice and Disbursement. Whenever Borrower desires Lenders to make a Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders an irrevocable notice of borrowing in writing which shall be received by the Agent and Lenders prior to 9:00 A.M., Pacific time, one (1) Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date, requesting that the Lenders make the Loan on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed. Not later than 1:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, each Lender shall either make available to the Agent at the funding office designated by Agent or make Loans directly available to Borrower in an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Loan or Loans to be made by such Lender. The Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the Books of such office of the Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds. Lenders’ obligation to make Loans shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01(b). Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, each Lender shall disburse its pro rata portion of the Loan as specified in the funds flow attached to the notice of borrowing on the Closing Date. Section 2.04. Other Payment Terms. (a) Place and Manner. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, no payment received directly or indirectly from any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be 27 KE 52826770.15

applied directly or indirectly by the Agent or otherwise to the payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations. (b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. (c) Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon written election of the Required Lenders or automatically upon any Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.01(a), 9.01(e) or 9.01(f), Borrower shall pay interest on outstanding Obligations (including, without limitation, any Prepayment Premium) until such past due amounts are paid in full, at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate. All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. (d) Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. Except as otherwise may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed. (e) Calculation of Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any payment required to be made hereunder, whether as principal, interest, fees, premiums (including Prepayment Premiums or Make-Whole Amounts) or other amounts payable hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents may, if requested by the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), and shall, if otherwise expressly set forth herein, be required be set forth in a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such payment. Such calculation shall be reviewed by the Agent and the Lenders and the determination of the accuracy of such calculation shall be made by the Required Lenders, in their sole but reasonable discretion. Section 2.05. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of any Loan Party under any Transaction Document shall, except as required by any Requirement of Law, be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required by a Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.05) the applicable Recipient, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings have been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party or Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Loan Party or Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.05(a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law. (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.05) payable or paid by such Recipient, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment 28 KE 52826770.15

or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Indemnification by the Lender. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Transaction 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (d). (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent and the relevant Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the relevant Lender. (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.05(f)(ii) and Section 2.05(f)(iii)(A) through Section 2.05(f)(iii)(F)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the first paragraph of this Section 2.05(f), any Lender or Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a party to this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent), duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. (iii) Without limiting the generality of the first paragraph of this Section 2.05(f), any Foreign Holder shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a party to this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Holder is legally entitled to do so), whichever one or more of the following is applicable: 29 KE 52826770.15

Each Lender and Agent 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 Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in no case shall a Lender be required to deliver any form, certification or documentation that it is not legally entitled to deliver. (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.05 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket 30 KE 52826770.15

expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Ttax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax 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 Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.05 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; or (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making or maintaining any Note (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Note), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any purchasing office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Loan Agreement or the Notes received by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request the 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) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.06(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.06 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Section 2.07. Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article 2 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Section 2.08. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.06, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.05, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different purchasing 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or 2.06, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in its sole discretion. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Section 2.09. Survival.

Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. The Agent shall not have any liability for losses arising from (i) any cause beyond its control, (ii) any delay, error, omission or default of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator or (iii) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental powers. Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for any act, omission, negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it in good faith. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by Agent. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and its successors and assigns and no Loan Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. Section 10.08. Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, document or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Agents and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto, shall be binding on all Lenders. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document) in respect of such action. The Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any actions contemplated above as a result of a failure or delay on the part of the Required Lenders to provide such instruction, advice or concurrence. Section 10.09. Events of Default. (a) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of, or be required to act upon (including the sending of any notice related thereto), the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans hereunder, unless and until Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or the Borrower specifying such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition precedent, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default or Failure of Condition”. In the event that Agent receives such a Notice of Default or Failure of Condition, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall (subject to Section 10.12) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders to the extent provided for herein; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders. (b) Except with the prior written consent of Agent, no Lender (other than Oaktree or any of its Affiliates) may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Loans or other Obligations, as against any Loan Party or any of the Collateral or other property of any Loan Party. Section 10.10. Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower hereunder and without limiting any obligations of the Borrower hereunder), and its officers, directors, agents, employees, advisors and counsel and their respective Affiliates (each such Person being an “Agent Indemnitee”) ratably, in accordance with their Loan Percentages, for any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and 60 KE 52826770.15

expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee (including by any Lender) arising out of, or by reason of any investigation in, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that Agent is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, that, no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts due under this Section 10.10 shall be payable on demand. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations and the termination of this Loan Agreement. Section 10.11. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Loan Parties and has made its own decision to enter into this Loan Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any term or provision of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or Books of any Loan Party. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any information received by Agent from any Loan Party, which is required to be provided to Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and with a copy of any Notice of Default or Failure of Condition received by Agent from the Borrower or any Lender; provided, that, Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or requested by Lenders hereunder or thereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of Agent. Section 10.12. Failure to Act. Except for any action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Agent from requiring further assurances from the Lenders, satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion, of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.10 hereof against any and all liability and expenses that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Section 10.13. Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ (or such lesser time period as agreed to by the Required Lenders and Agent) notice to Lenders and the Borrower or may be replaced as the Agent by the Lenders at the direction of the Required Lenders upon five (5) days’ (or such lesser time period as agreed to by the Required Lenders and Agent) prior written notice to the Agent, the other Lenders and the Borrower. If Agent resigns or is replaced under this Loan Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for Lenders whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the retiring or replaced Agent, and the term “Agent” as used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring or replaced Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Loan Agreement. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender so selected of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” as used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent and Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was Agent under this Loan Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 61 KE 52826770.15

Section 10.14. Other Agent Designation. Oaktree may at any time and from time to time determine that a Lender may, in addition, be a “Co-Agent”, “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent”, “Agent”, “Control Agent” or similar designation hereunder and enter into an agreement with such Lender to have it so identified for purposes of this Loan Agreement. Any such designation shall be effective upon written notice by Agent or Oaktree to the Borrower of any such designation. Any Lender that is so designated as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Control Agent or such similar designation by Oaktree shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no Lender shall be deemed to have relied, nor shall any Lender rely, on a Lender so identified as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Control Agent or such similar designation in deciding to enter into this Loan Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. Section 10.15. Release of Collateral. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following: (a) any Guarantor if all of the Equity Securities of such Subsidiary owned by any Loan Party is sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to any Loan Document; (b) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders against (i) any Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of by a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), (ii) any Collateral subject to a Lien that is expressly permitted under clause (v) or (vi) of the definition of the term "Permitted Lien" and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations that Agent has theretofore been notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable and (B) receipt by Agent and Lenders of liability releases from the Loan Parties in form and substance acceptable to Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders); and (c) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders against any Collateral that is Transferred pursuant to Section 7.02(iii) hereof, in an aggregate amount not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in any fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm the Agent's authority to release its interest in any particular item of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.15. Section 10.16. Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any applicable Requirements of Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time without notice to any Loan Party or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of the Loan Parties (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Loan Parties) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its pro rata share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender's or holder's pro rata share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective pro rata shares of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations and may purchase participations in accordance with the preceding sentence and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Term Loan made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Term Loan and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter 62 KE 52826770.15

recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest. Section 10.17. Proof of Claims. Lenders hereby agree that after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.01(e) or (f) in case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to Lenders, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal amount of the Loans shall be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Lenders) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, Agent, and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent) allowed in such judicial proceeding; (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and (c) 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 Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to Agent. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize 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 Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Further, nothing contained in this Section 10.17 shall affect or preclude the ability of any Lender to (i) file and prove such a claim in the event that Agent has not acted within ten (10) days prior to any applicable bar date and (ii) require an amendment of the proof of claim to accurately reflect such Lender's outstanding Obligations.

Section 11.02. No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required. No delay or failure of Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder of Agent and the Lenders are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Agent or any Lender of any breach or default under this Loan Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this Loan Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only in the specified instance and to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

SCHEDULE 3 On or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Loan Parties shall grant a security interest in the assets specified herein or otherwise take any of the following actions described in clauses (i)-(vii) below such that an equivalent amount of value equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (which may be attributed based on the satisfaction of certain actions set forth below) has been received, either in cash or Collateral security, by the Lenders (the “Collateral Enhancement Requirement”), provided, however that the failure to satisfy the Collateral Enhancement Requirement shall not result in an Event of Default but rather the sole remedy of the Lenders shall be the application of the Enhanced Rate Adjustment as set forth herein. The value attributed to such Collateral Enhancement Requirement shall be deemed to be (a) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) upon the satisfaction of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) below and (b) the dollar for dollar amount of Loans prepaid in accordance with clauses (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii) below (with the aggregate amount of attributable value described in this sentence achieved by the Loan Parties and determined as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date being the “Achieved Collateral Enhancement Value”). By way of example, if the Loan Parties satisfy the actions described in clause (i) below and repay Loans in an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) pursuant to clause (iii) below on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Achieved Collateral Enhancement Value shall equal Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) and as a result, the Enhanced Rate Adjustment shall automatically and immediately apply. The satisfaction of any one of the following actions shall count towards the Achieved Collateral Enhancement Value and the Collateral Enhancement Requirement. (i) Terminating, discharging or releasing in their entirety the Lien of RHB LLC and Myers securing Excluded Property and subsequently granting a first priority security interest in such Excluded Property in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Mortgage, and either terminating, paying off and discharging in full the Secured Intercompany Note or causing the aggregate outstanding balance under the Secured Intercompany Note to be zero at all times thereafter. In the event such Excluded Property becomes Collateral in accordance with this clause (i), the Loan Parties shall comply with Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement with respect to such Excluded Property within thirty (30) days (rather than sixty (60) days) of the termination, discharge or release of such Liens on the Excluded Property. (ii) Obtaining a Lien on the Excluded Property in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to the Mortgage, whether by obtaining the requisite approval of the parties necessary to cause such Excluded Property to become Collateral or otherwise, and either terminating, paying off and discharging in full the Secured Intercompany Note or causing the aggregate outstanding balance under the Secured Intercompany Note to be zero at all times thereafter. (iii) Transferring the fee-simple ownership interests in the Excluded Property by the applicable Loan Party to a third- party buyer (that is not another Loan Party or Subsidiary or an Affiliate thereof) resulting in the receipt by such Loan Party of Net Cash Proceeds and the subsequent application of such Net Cash Proceeds to the repayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.02(d)(ii)(C) of the Loan Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount so prepaid, plus any applicable Prepayment Premium (for the avoidance of doubt, such Net Cash Proceeds described in this clause (iii) shall not be permitted to be reinvested in any assets of the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries as contemplated by Section 2.02(d)(ii)(C) of the Loan Agreement). (iv) Obtaining a Lien on Equity Securities of RHB LLC owned by a Loan Party such that RHB LLC becomes a Pledged Company under the Loan Agreement and Borrower pledges its Equity Securities in RHB LLC in accordance with the Pledge Agreement. (v) Using the proceeds arising from the Permitted Dispositions and/or the NTTA Matter in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.02(d)(i) of the Loan Agreement. (vi) Prepaying the Loans with proceeds in an amount equal to (a) the Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarter period ended as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which Financial Statements are required to have been delivered under the Loan Agreement (or if no financial statements have been delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017), minus (b) Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) of assumed Schedule 3 KE 52826770.15

Consolidated Capital Expenditures per fiscal year.1 Any such prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to this clause (vi) shall be paid together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount so prepaid, plus, any applicable Prepayment Premium set forth in Section 2.02(e) of the Loan Agreement. (vii) Prepaying the Loans with proceeds from the issuance of any Equity Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.02(d)(ii)(B) of the Loan Agreement. The satisfaction of any one or more of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(vii) such that the Collateral Enhancement Requirement is achieved shall not result in an Enhanced Rate Adjustment as described in the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to satisfy the Collateral Enhancement Requirement to the fullest extent possible on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall, upon the written election of the Required Lenders to the Agent, result in the application of the Enhanced Rate Adjustment based on the Achieved Collateral Enhancement Value; provided, further, that the Loan Parties’ failure to satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the Collateral Enhancement Requirement after the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall subject the Loan Parties to the Enhanced Rate Adjustment for so long as the Loan Parties are unable to satisfy the Collateral Enhancement Requirement. 1 For purposes of this clause (vi), Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarter period ending March 31, 2017 through June 30, 2018 shall be deemed to be the Consolidated EBITDA amount below set forth opposite the applicable fiscal quarter: Fiscal Quarter Ending: Consolidated EBITDA March 31, 2017 $27,300,000 June 30, 2017 $31,700,000 September 30, 2017 $34,800,000 December 31, 2017 $36,300,000 March 31, 2018 $39,000,000 June 30, 2018 $42,000,000 Schedule 3 KE 52826770.15
