THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.Defined Terms; Other Definitional Provisions. As used in this Agreement, each of the terms defined in the opening paragraph and the Recitals above shall have the meanings assigned to such terms therein. Article, Section, Schedule, and Exhibit references are to Articles and Sections of and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

The term “including” means “including, without limitation,”. Paragraph headings have been inserted in this Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed that such paragraph headings are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 2. Amendment to Credit Agreement.

(a) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new definitions in alphabetical order therein:

“Beneficial Ownership Certification” means a certification regarding beneficial ownership as required by the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, which certification shall be substantially similar in form and substance to the form of Certification Regarding Beneficial Owners of Legal Entity Customers published jointly, in May 2018, by the Loan Syndications and Trading Association and Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.

“Beneficial Ownership Regulation” means 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230.

“Replacement Rate” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.4(c)(vii).

(b) The defined term “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Eurodollar Base Rate” means, subject to the implementation of a Replacement Rate in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(vii), the rate per annum (rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of 100th of 1%) equal to the ICEBA LIBOR as designated by Reuters, for deposits in Dollars at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two Business Days before the first day of the applicable Interest Period and for a period equal to such Interest Period; provided that if such rate that appears on such screen or page shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement; and provided further that, if such quotation is not available for any reason, then Eurodollar Base Rate shall then be the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which deposits in Dollars for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in immediately available funds in the approximate amount of the Advances being made, continued or Converted by the Lenders and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by the Administrative Agent’s London branch (or other branch or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, or in the event that the Administrative Agent does not have a London branch, the London branch of a Lender chosen by the Administrative Agent) to major banks in the London or other offshore inter-bank market for Dollars at their request at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise specified in any amendment to this Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(vii), in the event that a Replacement Rate with respect to a Eurodollar Base Rate is implemented, then all references herein to the Eurodollar Base Rate shall be deemed references to such Replacement Rate (including the corresponding rate that would apply to any determination of Adjusted Base Rate).

(c) Section 1.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following sentence to the end of clause (c) thereof:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, for purposes of calculations made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, GAAP will be deemed to treat leases that would have been classified as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as in effect on December 31, 2017 in a manner consistent with the treatment of such leases under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as in effect on December 31, 2017, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter.

(d) Article I of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following as a new Section 1.6:

Section 1.6 Divisions. For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation, or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation, or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

(e) Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the “and” at the end of clause (c)(v), replace the period at the end of clause (c)(vi) with “; and”, and add the following as a new clause (c)(vii):

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (iii), (iv), and (v) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Majority Lenders have made the determination, that (A) the circumstances described in clause (iii), (iv) or (v) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to

-2-

be temporary, (B) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (C) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (1) an event described in clause (iii), (iv), or (v) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (2) the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Advances bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this clause (vii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 10.3), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment. To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (vii), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

(f) Section 4.6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new sentence to the end thereof:

The information included in any Beneficial Ownership Certification provided to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects as of the date delivered.

(g) Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following as a new clause (v):

(v) Beneficial Ownership. (i) Promptly, following a request by any Lender, all documentation and other information (including, without limitation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification) that such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, and (ii) prompt written notice of any change in the information provided in any Beneficial Ownership Certification delivered to a Lender that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified in such Beneficial Ownership Certification.

(h) Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the “and” at the end of clause (a)(ii), replace the period at the end of clause (a)(iii) with “; and”, and add the following as a new clause (a)(iv):

(iv) does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate”.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree that, as of the Effective Date, the Borrowing Base shall continue to be $900,000,000, and the Borrowing Base shall remain in effect at such amount until the Borrowing Base is redetermined or adjusted in accordance with the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. The reaffirmation and redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 3 shall constitute the scheduled Semi-Annual Redetermination to occur on or about April 1, 2019, as set forth in Section 2.2(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, the Aggregate Elected Commitments shall remain at $540,000,000.
