WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain letter regarding “Notice of Resignation of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent” dated as of August 16, 2019, the Resigning Agent notified the Lenders and the Borrower of its resignation as Administrative Agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 11.06 of the Revolving Credit Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.Appointment of Administrative Agent. Pursuant to Section 11.06 of the Revolving Credit Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date, (a) the Required Lenders hereby appoint Wilmington to act as successor Administrative Agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than any Fee Letters between the Borrower and the Resigning Agent) (collectively, the “Assigned Loan Documents”) and (b) Wilmington accepts its appointment as the successor Administrative Agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Assigned Loan Documents. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Resigning Agent is hereby discharged from all duties and obligations under the Revolving Credit





Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Wilmington is not being appointed as an Issuing Bank, and is not assuming any rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities of, any Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents

2.Rights, Duties and Obligations. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Successor Agent hereby succeeds to and is vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Administrative Agent under and in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Assigned Loan Documents, it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the continuing validity of the indemnification, exculpation, expense reimbursement and other applicable provisions of Article XI and Section 12.03 of the Revolving Credit Agreement and of any other Loan Document with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Resigning Agent, any of its subagents and their respective Related Parties while the Resigning Agent was acting as Administrative Agent, all of which shall survive the Resigning Agent’s resignation and shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Resigning Agent, any of its subagents and their respective Related Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement does not constitute an assumption by (a) the Successor Agent of any liability or obligation of the Resigning Agent, any Affiliate of the Resigning Agent or any appointee or agent of the Resigning Agent arising out of or in connection with any action or inaction by the Resigning Agent, any Affiliate of the Resigning Agent or any appointee or agent of the Resigning Agent under or in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (b) the Resigning Agent of any liability or obligation of Wilmington or any appointee or agent thereof arising out of any action or inaction by Wilmington or such appointee or agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The parties hereto agree that (i) Wilmington, in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Successor Agent, shall bear no responsibility or liability for any event, circumstance, condition or action existing prior to the Effective Date, with respect to the Collateral, the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) Wells Fargo, in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Resigning Agent, shall bear no responsibility or liability for any event, circumstance, condition or action arising on or after the Effective Date with respect to the Collateral, the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated thereby.

3.Collateral and Liens.

(a)    The Resigning Agent hereby assigns to the Successor Agent all liens and security interests granted to the Resigning Agent under the Assigned Loan Documents in the Collateral. All of such liens and security interests shall in all respects be continuing and in effect and are hereby reaffirmed by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties.
(b)    The Borrower and other Loan Parties hereby authorize the Successor Agent to file any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or similar documents, assignments or amendments that the Successor Agent deems necessary or desirable to evidence the Successor Agent’s succession as Administrative Agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Assigned Loan Documents. The Resigning Agent hereby authorizes the Successor Agent to file Uniform Commercial Code assignments or amendments on form UCC-3 in all relevant jurisdictions with respect to any existing UCC-1 financing statement filed in favor of Resigning Agent prior to the date hereof and described on Schedule II. As of the Effective Date, there have been no amendments, supplements or consents to the Assigned Loan Documents to which the Resigning Agent has knowledge or is a party, except as otherwise provided to the Successor Agent or set forth on such Schedule II.
(c)    On and after the Effective Date, any Collateral in the possession or control of the Resigning Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be deemed to be held or controlled, as applicable, by the





Resigning Agent, as agent and bailee for the Successor Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, until such time as such Collateral has been delivered to the Successor Agent or new control agreements in respect thereof have been entered into in favor of the Successor Agent, as applicable. Any reference to the Resigning Agent on any publicly filed document, to the extent such filing relates to the liens and security interests in the Collateral assigned hereby and until such filing is modified to reflect the interests of the Successor Agent, shall, with respect to such liens and security interests, constitute a reference to the Resigning Agent, as collateral representative of the Successor Agent.
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the parties hereto that Wilmington, in succeeding to the position of the Administrative Agent, (i) has undertaken no analysis of the Security Instruments or the Collateral and (ii) has made no determination as to (x) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or priority of any Liens granted or purported to be granted pursuant to the Security Instruments or (y) the accuracy or sufficiency of the documents, filings, recordings and other actions taken to create, perfect or maintain the existence, perfection or priority of the Liens granted or purported to be granted pursuant to the Security Instruments. Wilmington shall be entitled to assume that, as of the date hereof, all Liens purported to be granted and perfected pursuant to the Security Instruments are valid and perfected Liens having the priority intended by the Lenders and the Loan Documents, it being understood that certain of the Loan Documents (A) permit the Administrative Agent to elect not to perfect its security interest in certain Collateral in certain circumstances, and (B) only require certain perfection steps to be taken upon the request of the Administrative Agent or when the value or stated amount of certain Collateral exceeds a specified individual or aggregate threshold.
4.Resigning Agent Certification. The Resigning Agent hereby certifies on and as of the Effective Date that:

(a) Disbursement Status. Schedule I-A sets forth (a) with respect to each Lender, (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing to such Lender and (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans owing to such Lender, in each case as of August 16, 2019 and (b) to the knowledge of the Resigning Agent, any other fees, charges and expenses due and payable to the Lenders as of August 16, 2019. Schedule I-B sets forth the Interest Payment Date for the Loans as of August 16, 2019, the interest rate applicable to the Loans as of such date and the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans as of August 16, 2019. The Resigning Agent has delivered to the Successor Agent a true, accurate and correct copy of the Register as of the Effective Date and the tax forms provided by each of the Lenders to the Resigning Agent. Attached hereto as Schedule I-C is a copy of the Administrative Questionnaires provided by each of Lenders to the Resigning Agent.

Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) beginning on and after the Effective Date, the Successor Agency Fee Letter shall constitute a Loan Document, and all fees, costs, expenses and compensation payable thereunder shall constitute Secured Obligations secured equally and ratably by the Collateral and (ii) no further fees or compensation shall be due and payable under any fee letter entered into between the Borrower and Wells Fargo and/or one or more of its Affiliates in respect of the Loans (including any Fee Letter constituting a Loan Document prior to the Effective Date) to the extent such fees accrue on or after the Effective Date.

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right, if any, of the Resigning Agent to receive (i) reimbursement of its incurred but not yet reimbursed expenses and unpaid indemnity amounts, in each case under Section 12.03 of the Revolving Credit Agreement, to the extent the Resigning Agent is entitled thereto under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) any amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement.
