(k)Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party and all covenants, provisions and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower which are contained in the Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any of them.

1.3 Accounting for Permitted Acquisitions. With respect to any Permitted Acquisition consummated on or after the Closing Date, the following shall apply:

For each Four-Quarter Period that includes the date of a Permitted Acquisition, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense shall include the results of operations of the Person or assets so acquired, which amounts shall be determined on a historical pro forma basis and which may include such adjustments as are permitted under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, Consolidated Interest Expense shall be adjusted on a historical pro forma basis to (i) eliminate interest expense accrued during such period on any Indebtedness repaid in connection with such Permitted Acquisition and (ii) include interest expense on any Indebtedness (including Indebtedness hereunder) incurred, acquired or assumed in connection with such Permitted Acquisition (“Incremental Debt”) calculated (x) as if all such Incremental Debt had been incurred as of the first day of such Four-Quarter Period and (y) at the following interest rates: (I) for all periods subsequent to the date of the Permitted Acquisition and for Incremental Debt assumed or acquired in the Permitted Acquisition and in effect prior to the date of Permitted Acquisition, at the actual rates of interest applicable thereto, and (II) for all periods prior to the actual incurrence of such Incremental Debt, equal to the rate of interest actually applicable to such Incremental Debt hereunder or under other financing documents applicable thereto as at the end of each affected Four-Quarter Period.

1.4 Accounting for Derivatives. In making any computation under Section 8.1, all adjustments to such computation or amount resulting from the application of FASB ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” shall be disregarded.

1.5 Accounting and Financial Determinations. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP as in effect from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time any change in GAAP would materially affect the computation of any financial ratio or other financial calculation set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders so request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or other financial calculation to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided that, until so amended, such ratio or other financial calculation shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change in GAAP. Without limiting the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with GAAP in effect and adopted by the Borrower as of the Closing Date, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above.

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, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” (or any other FASB ASC Topic having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein.

1.6 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws), 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.

1.7 Limited Condition Acquisition. In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires (i) that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower (an “LCA Election”), be deemed satisfied so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and no Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(g) (solely with respect to the Borrower) or Section 9.1(h) (solely with respect to the Borrower) exists or would result therefrom on the date any related Added Term Loans

are advanced or (ii) that the representations and warranties set forth in Article VI or in any other Loan Document be true and correct, such representations and warranties shall, if the Borrower exercises an LCA Election, refer only to the representations and warranties that constitute Specified Representations and the Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement Representations or, in each case, other customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” representations.

2.4 Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Advances to the Borrower, from time to time from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date, on a pro rata basis as to the total borrowing requested by the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility on any day determined by its Revolving Percentage up to but not exceeding the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Lenders will not be required and shall have no obligation to make any Advance (i) so long as not all of the conditions under Section 5.2 hereof have been fulfilled, (ii) so long as a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) if the Administrative Agent has accelerated the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans as a result of an Event of Default in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof; provided further, however, that immediately after giving effect to each such Advance, the principal amount of Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Within such limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder, on any Business Day, from the Closing Date until, but (as to borrowings and reborrowings) not including, the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that (x) no Eurodollar Loan that is a Revolving Credit Loan shall be made which has an Interest Period that extends beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (y) each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, be repaid only on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto unless the Borrower has paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.

(b) Amounts. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations shall not exceed at any time an amount equal to the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility, other than a Base Rate Refunding Loan, and each Conversion thereof under Section 2.12, shall be in a principal amount of (i) at least $10,000,000, and, if greater than $10,000,000, an integral multiple of $1,000,000, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) at least $5,000,000 and, if greater than $5,000,000, an integral multiple of $1,000,000, in the case of Base Rate Loans.

(c) Advances and Rate Selection. (i) An Authorized Representative shall give the Administrative Agent (1) except as set forth in clause (2) below, at least three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable telephonic notice of each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan (whether representing an additional borrowing hereunder or the Conversion of borrowing hereunder from Base Rate Loans or other Eurodollar Loans to Eurodollar Loans) prior to 12:00 Noon; (2) irrevocable telephonic notice of each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan to be made on the Closing Date prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and (3) irrevocable telephonic notice of each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan (other than Base Rate Refunding Loans to the extent the same are effective without notice pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iv)) representing a borrowing on the Closing Date or an additional borrowing hereunder in each case prior to 1:00 pm on the day of such proposed Base Rate Loan. Each such borrowing notice, which shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, shall specify the amount of the borrowing, the Type of Loan, the date of borrowing and, if a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period to be used in the computation of interest. The Authorized Representative shall provide the Administrative Agent written confirmation of each such telephonic notice on the same day by telefacsimile transmission in the form of a Borrowing Notice, for additional Advances, or in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F as to selection or Conversion of interest rates as to outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, in each case with appropriate insertions, but failure to provide such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such telephonic notice. The duration of the initial Interest Period for each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan shall be as specified in the initial Borrowing Notice. The Borrower shall have the option to elect the duration of subsequent Interest Periods and to Convert the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof. If the Administrative Agent does not receive a notice of election of duration of an Interest Period or to Convert by the time prescribed hereby and by Section 2.12 hereof, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected as to any Revolving Credit

Loan, to Convert such Loan to (or Continue such Loan as) a Base Rate Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate until the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section and Section 2.12.

(ii)Notice of receipt of each Borrowing Notice shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each Revolving Credit Lender by telefacsimile or telephonic notice with reasonable promptness on the same day as Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Borrowing Notice.

(iii)Not later than 3:00 P.M. on the date specified for each Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility, each Revolving Credit Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of the Loan or Loans to be made by it on such day available to the Administrative Agent, by depositing or transferring the proceeds thereof in immediately available funds at the Principal Office. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by delivery of the proceeds thereof as shall be directed in the applicable Borrowing Notice by the Authorized Representative.

(iv)If a drawing is made under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for such drawing by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such drawing not later than 2:00 P.M. on (A) the Business Day (which may be the date such drawing is made) that the Borrower receives notice of such drawing, if the Borrower shall have received such notice prior to 10:00 a.m., or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received by the Borrower on a day other than a Business Day or after 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a drawing is made under any Letter of Credit, such drawing is honored by the Issuing Bank thereunder prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and the Borrower shall not immediately fully reimburse such Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing as provided above, (y) provided that the conditions to making a Revolving Credit Loan as herein provided shall then be satisfied, the Reimbursement Obligation arising from such drawing shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent without the requirement of notice to or from the Borrower from immediately available funds which shall be advanced as a Base Rate Refunding Loan by each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount determined with reference to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation, and (z) if the conditions to making a Revolving Credit Loan as herein provided shall not then be satisfied, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall fund by payment to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Issuing Bank) in immediately available funds the purchase from such Issuing Bank of their respective Participations in the related Reimbursement Obligation based on their respective Revolving Percentages. If a drawing is presented under any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof and the Borrower shall not immediately reimburse the Issuing Bank thereunder in respect thereof as provided above, then notice of such drawing shall be provided promptly by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to each Revolving Credit Lender by telephone or telefacsimile transmission. If notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders of a drawing under any Letter of Credit is given by the Administrative Agent at or before 2:00 P.M. on any Business Day, each Revolving Credit Lender shall, pursuant to the conditions specified in this Section 2.4(c)(iv), either make a Base Rate Refunding Loan or fund the purchase of its Participation in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such drawing or payment and shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds before 2:30 P.M. on the same Business Day. If notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders of a drawing under a Letter of Credit is given by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 P.M. on any Business Day, each Revolving Credit Lender shall, pursuant to the conditions specified in this Section 2.4(c)(iv), either make a Base Rate Refunding Loan or fund the purchase of its Participation in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such drawing and shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds before 2:00 P.M. on the next following Business Day. Any such Base Rate Refunding Loans shall be advanced as, and shall continue as, a Base Rate Loan unless and until the Borrower Converts such Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12.

2.5 Competitive Bid Loans.

(a)In addition to Revolving Credit Loans, at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date and provided no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section 2.5, request the Revolving Credit Lenders to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower in Dollars. The Revolving Credit Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.5. There may be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods, and no more than one

(1) one-week Interest Periods, for all Revolving Credit Loans and Competitive Bid Loans outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods for each Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan and each Competitive Bid Loan shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous). The aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at any time. The aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at any time.

(b)When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders notice (a “Competitive Bid Quote Request”) to be received no later than 12:00 Noon on (A) the fourth Business Day prior to the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a Competitive Bid Quote Request for Competitive Bid Loans at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate or (B) the Business Day prior to the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a Competitive Bid Quote Request for Competitive Bid Loans at the Absolute Rate (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree). The Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for up to three (3) different Interest Periods in a single notice; provided that the request for each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate Competitive Bid Quote Request for a separate borrowing (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing”) and there shall not be outstanding at any one time more than four (4) Competitive Bid Borrowings. Each such Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto and shall specify as to each Competitive Bid Borrowing:

(i)the proposed date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii)the aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, which shall be at least $10,000,000 (or in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.5(a) hereof to be violated;

(iii)the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(iv)whether the Competitive Bid Quote Request for a particular Interest Period is seeking quotes for Competitive Bid Loans at the Absolute Rate or the Eurodollar Competitive Rate;

(v)whether the Borrower shall have the right to prepay a requested Competitive Bid Loan; and

(vi)the date on which the Competitive Bid Quotes are to be submitted if it is before the proposed date of borrowing (the date on which such Competitive Bid Quotes are to be submitted is called the “Quotation Date”).

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.5(b), no more than two (2) Competitive Bid Quote Requests shall be given within five (5) Business Days (or such other number of days as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) of any other Competitive Bid Quote Request.

(c)(i) Each Revolving Credit Lender may submit one or more Competitive Bid Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Competitive Bid Loan in response to any Competitive Bid Quote Request; provided that, if the Borrower’s request under Section 2.5(b) hereof specified more than one Interest Period, such Lender may make a single submission containing one or more Competitive Bid Quotes for each such Interest Period. Each Competitive Bid Quote must be submitted to the Borrower not later than 9:30 A.M. on (A) the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Quote Request for Competitive Bid Loans at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate or (B) the Quotation Date, in the case of a Competitive Bid Quote Request for Competitive Bid Loans at the Absolute Rate (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) provided that if JPMorgan Chase Bank is receiving quotes as provided in Section 2.5(g), any Competitive Bid Quote may be submitted by JPMorgan Chase Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) only if JPMorgan Chase Bank (or such applicable Lending Office) notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 9:15 A.M. on the Quotation Date. Any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto and shall specify:

(A)the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;

(B)the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount shall be at least $5,000,000 (or in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans for which a Lender submits Competitive Bid Quotes may not exceed the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested;

(C)in the case of a Competitive Bid Quote for Competitive Bid Loans at an Absolute Rate, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/10,000^th of 1%) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan (the “Absolute Rate”);

(D)in the case of a Competitive Bid Quote for Competitive Bid Loans at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate, the positive or negative margin to be added to or deducted from the Interbank Offered Rate; and

(E)the identity of the quoting Lender.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, no Competitive Bid Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Competitive Bid Quote Request and, in particular, no Competitive Bid Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Borrower of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which such Competitive Bid Quote is being made. Any subsequent Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Revolving Credit Lender that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be disregarded by the Borrower unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote.

(d)The Borrower shall as promptly as practicable after the Competitive Bid Quote is submitted (but in any event not later than 12:00 Noon on (A) in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan at an Absolute Rate, the Quotation Date (or such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) or (B) in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate, the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing) notify the Administrative Agent and Revolving Credit Lenders of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing for which Competitive Bid Quotes have been received as well as the ranges of bids submitted for each Interest Period requested, (y) the respective principal amounts and Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Competitive Rates, as the case may be, so offered by each Revolving Credit Lender (identifying the Lender that made each Competitive Bid Quote), and (z) its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Competitive Bid Quotes. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (provided that any Competitive Bid Quote accepted in part shall be at least $5,000,000 or in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided that:

(i)the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request;

(ii)the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be at least $5,000,000 (or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.5(a) hereof to be violated;

(iii)except as provided below, acceptance of Competitive Bid Quotes for any Interest Period may be made only in ascending order of Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Competitive Rates, as the case may be, beginning with the lowest rate so offered; and

(iv)the Borrower may not accept any Competitive Bid Quote where such Competitive Bid Quote fails to comply with Section 2.5(c)(ii) hereof or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.5(a) hereof).

Any of the conditions above notwithstanding, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, accept a Competitive Bid Quote that does not contain the lowest Absolute Rate or Eurodollar Competitive Rates, as the case may be, where acceptance of the Competitive Bid Quote containing the lowest Absolute Rate or Eurodollar Competitive Rate, as the case may be, would be less favorable to the

Borrower or would cause the principal amount of Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

If Competitive Bid Quotes are made by two or more Revolving Credit Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Competitive Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Competitive Bid Quotes are accepted for the related Interest Period after the acceptance of all Competitive Bid Quotes, if any, of all lower Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Competitive Rates, as the case may be, offered by any Revolving Credit Lender for such related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such Competitive Bid Quotes are accepted shall be allocated by the Borrower among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in amounts of at least $1,000,000 or in increments of $100,000 in excess thereof) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such Competitive Bid Quotes. Determinations by the Borrower of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans and the lowest bid after adjustment as provided in Section 2.5(d)(iii) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e)Any Revolving Credit Lender whose offer to make any Competitive Bid Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Borrower as shall be directed by the Authorized Representative in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(f)From time to time, the Borrower shall furnish such information to the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may request relating to the making of Competitive Bid Loans, including the amounts, interest rates, dates of borrowings and maturities thereof.

(g)The Borrower may request the Administrative Agent to receive the Competitive Bid Quotes, in which event the Administrative Agent shall (A) in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan at the Absolute Rate, as promptly as practicable after the Competitive Bid Quote is submitted (but in no event later than 10:00 A.M. on the Quotation Date) or (B) in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate, by 10:00 A.M. on the date a Competitive Quote is submitted, notify the Borrower of the terms of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Revolving Credit Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.5(c) hereof. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing for which Competitive Bid Quotes have been received and (B) the respective principal amounts and Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Competitive Rate, as the case may be, offered by each Revolving Credit Lender (identifying the Lender that made each Competitive Bid Quote). Not later than 12:00 Noon on (A) the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of Competitive Bid Loans at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate or (B) the Quotation Date (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of their acceptance or nonacceptance of the Competitive Bid Quotes so notified to it (and the failure of the Borrower to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender. Together with each notice of a request for Competitive Bid Quotes which the Borrower requires the Administrative Agent to issue pursuant to this paragraph (g), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent a bid administration fee of $1,500.

2.6 Payment of Interest.

(a)The Borrower shall pay interest (i) to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of each Lender on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by such Lender for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan shall be due at the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, as elected or deemed elected by the Borrower or otherwise applicable to such Loan as herein provided and (ii) to each Revolving Credit Lender making a Competitive Bid Loan at its Applicable Lending Office, at the applicable Absolute Rate or Eurodollar Competitive Rate, as the case may be; provided, however, that if any amount shall not be paid when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest thereafter at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, or (in each case) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(b)Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be computed on the basis of (x) in the case of Loans, other than Loans bearing interest based on the Prime Rate, a year of 360 days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed and (y) in the case of Loans bearing interest based on the Prime Rate, a year of 365-366 days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be paid (a) quarterly in arrears, such payment to be made not later than the third (3rd) Business Day of each April, July, October and January, on each Base Rate Loan, (b) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan and Competitive Bid Loan, but in no event less frequently than at the end of each three month period and (c) upon payment in full of the principal amount of such Loan at the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.7 Payment of Principal. The principal amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall be due and payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each applicable Lender in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, or earlier as herein expressly provided. The principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans shall be due and payable to the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan in full on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, or earlier as herein expressly provided. The principal amount of Eurodollar Loans may only be prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, unless the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders the amounts, if any, required under Section 4.5. The principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans may only be prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, unless (i) the Borrower shall have retained in the Competitive Bid Quote Request with respect to such Competitive Bid Loans the right of prepayment, and (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loans which bear interest at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the amounts, if any, required under Section 4.5. The Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of its intention to make a principal payment (including Competitive Bid Loans) prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such payment. All payments of principal on Loans other than Competitive Bid Loans shall be in the amount of (i) $10,000,000, or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) $5,000,000, or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000, in the case of Base Rate Loans. Optional prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied ratably to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans.

2.8 Non-Conforming Payments.

(a)Each payment of principal (including any prepayment) and payment of interest (other than principal and interest on Competitive Bid Loans which shall be paid to the Lender making such Loans) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, for the account of each applicable Lender’s Applicable Lending Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds before 2:00 P.M. on the date such payment is due. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account, if any, of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made both (a) in Dollars and in immediately available funds and (b) prior to 2:00 P.M. on the date payment is due to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent until the time such funds become available funds. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Authorized Representative and each of the applicable Lenders (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding Business Day) at the applicable rate of interest per annum specified in Section 2.6(a) until the date such amount is paid in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(c)In the event that any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; provided that interest shall continue to accrue during the period of any such extension.

2.9 Pro Rata Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein (including without limitation Sections 2.18 and 2.19), (a) each payment and prepayment on account of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and the fees described in Section 2.13(a) hereof shall be made to the Administrative Agent in the aggregate amount payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata based on their Revolving Percentages, (b) each payment of principal and interest on the Competitive Bid Loans shall be made to (i) the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan if the Borrower has elected that the Administrative Agent act under Section 2.5(g) hereof and (ii) otherwise directly to the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan, (c) all payments to be made by the Borrower for the account of each of the Lenders on account of principal, interest and fees, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim except as provided in Section 4.6, and (e) the Administrative Agent will distribute such payments when received to the Lenders as provided for herein and subject to Section 4.6.

2.10 Reductions and Prepayment.

(a)Reductions. The Borrower shall, by notice from an Authorized Representative, have the right from time to time (but not more frequently than twice during each Fiscal Year), upon not less than three (3) Business Days irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent to reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment without premium or penalty; provided that a notice of Commitment reduction may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or any other event, in which case such notice of Commitment reduction may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Credit Lender, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice from the Borrower, telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) of such reduction. Each

such reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or such greater amount which is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and shall permanently reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. No such reduction shall be permitted that results in the payment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period of such Loan unless such prepayment is accompanied by amounts due, if any, under Section 4.5. Each reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be accompanied by payment of the Revolving Credit Loans to the extent that the aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amounts prepaid. In no event shall the Borrower be entitled to reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment if, as a result of and after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b)Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, subject to Section 2.7, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable prior notice which notice may be given by telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing, including by facsimile) delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or any other event, in which case such notice of optional prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Optional prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied ratably to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans.

2.11 Decrease in Amounts. The amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment which shall be available to the Borrower shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings and all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans.

2.12 Conversions and Elections of Subsequent Interest Periods. Subject to the limitations set forth below and in Article IV hereof, the Borrower may:

(a)upon notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 12:00 noon on any Business Day Convert all or a part of Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans; and

(b)provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and on three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 12:00 noon:

i.elect a subsequent Interest Period for all or a portion of Eurodollar Loans to begin on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans; or

ii.Convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans on any Business Day.

Notice of any such elections or Conversions shall specify the effective date of such election or Conversion and, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable to the Loan as Continued or Converted. Each election and Conversion pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject to the limitations on Eurodollar Loans set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein and in Article IV hereof. All such Continuations or Conversions of Loans shall be effected pro rata based on the Revolving Percentages of the applicable Lenders, as the case may be.

2.13 Fees.

(a)Commitment Fee. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the Stated Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Revolving Credit Lender based on such Lender’s average daily Available Revolving Commitment, the quarterly portion of the Applicable Commitment Fee for such Lender. Such fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears, such payments to be made not later than the third (3rd) Business Day of each April, July, October and January to and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated). Such fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b)Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Administrative Agent’s individual account, an annual Administrative Agent’s fee to be payable in advance and annually thereafter on the anniversary of the Closing Date such amounts as agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing.

2.14 Deficiency Advances; Failure to Purchase Participations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default of any other Lender in respect of such other Lender’s obligation to make any Loan or Advance hereunder nor shall the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder be increased as a result of such default of any other Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the provisions of Section 2.15, in the event any Lender shall fail to advance funds to the Borrower as herein provided, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, advance to the Borrower all or any portion of such amount or amounts (each, a “deficiency advance”) and shall thereafter be entitled to payments of principal of and interest on such deficiency advance in the same manner and at the same interest rate or rates to which such other Lender would have been entitled had it made such Advance; provided that, (i) such defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive payments of principal, interest or fees with respect to such deficiency advance until such deficiency advance (together with interest thereon as provided in clause (ii)) shall be paid by such Lender and (ii) upon payment to the Administrative Agent from such other Lender of the entire outstanding amount of each such deficiency advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, from the most recent date or dates interest was paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower on each Loan comprising the deficiency advance at the Federal Funds Rate, then such payment shall be credited in full payment of such deficiency advance and the Borrower shall be deemed to have borrowed the amount of such deficiency advance from such other Lender as of the most recent date or dates, as the case may be, upon which any payments of interest were made by the Borrower thereon.

2.15 Intraday Funding. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.14, unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon of the Business Day before the date any payment (including in the case of Lenders any Advance) to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower or each Lender, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment in the manner required hereunder and may, in its discretion and in reliance thereon, make available such payment (or portion thereof) to the Person entitled thereto as otherwise provided herein. If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Administrative Agent in the manner required hereunder, then:

(i) if Borrower failed to make such payment, each applicable Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds upon receipt of such demand. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, (A) from such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate or (B) from the Borrower, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Loan which includes such corresponding amount. Until the Administrative Agent shall recover such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, such corresponding amount shall constitute a deficiency advance within the meaning of Section 2.14. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Letter of Credit Facility shall be used by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to pay outstanding fees and expenses under the Loan Documents, to finance acquisitions and for working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

2.17 [Reserved].

2.18 Increased Amounts.

(a)(i) The Borrower shall have the right from time to time, without the consent of the Lenders, subject to the terms of this Section 2.18 and provided that the Borrower has obtained any required consents of third parties, to effectuate an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment under this Agreement by adding to this Agreement one or more Persons (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) acceptable to the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, who shall, upon completion of the requirements of this Section 2.18, constitute a “Revolving Credit Lender” or “Revolving Credit Lenders” hereunder (each an “Added Revolving Credit Lender”), or by allowing one or more Revolving Credit Lenders in their sole discretion to increase their respective Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (each an “Increasing Revolving Credit Lender”), so that such increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall equal the aggregate increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment effectuated pursuant to this Section 2.18; provided that (A) the aggregate addition of or increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender to be effected under this Section 2.18 (collectively, the “Added Revolving Credit Commitments”) shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, and, if greater than $5,000,000, an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (B) the sum of Added Revolving Credit Commitments and the aggregate principal amount of all Added Term Loans shall not exceed $500,000,000 and the sum of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (after giving effect to all Added Revolving Credit Commitments) and the aggregate principal amount of all Added Term Loans shall not exceed $2,300,000,000, (C) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased under this Section 2.18 without the consent of such Lender, and (D) there shall not exist any Default or Event of Default immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to any such Added Revolving Credit Commitment.

(ii)The Borrower shall have the right from time to time, without the consent of the Lenders, subject to the terms of this Section 2.18 and provided that the Borrower has obtained the consents of any Lenders providing such tranche of Added Term Loans (defined below), to effectuate during the period commencing on the Closing Date the establishment of one or more tranches of new term loans (the “Added Term Loans”); provided that each tranche of Added Term Loans (A) shall have terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and each Added Term Lender (as defined below), (B) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Credit Loans, (C) shall be treated substantially similar to the Revolving Credit Loans; provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Added Term Loans maturing after the Stated Termination Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants applicable only during periods after the Stated Termination Date, (ii) the Added Term Loans may be priced differently than the Revolving Credit Loans (including without limitation in respect of the interest rate margins, upfront fees, original issue discount, any interest rate floors and any arrangement or commitment fees applicable to the Added Term Loans), (iii) the terms of any such Added Term Loan may provide for the inclusion, as appropriate, of Added Term Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each tranche hereunder and may provide class protection for any additional credit facilities, and (iv) the prepayment provisions with respect to any Added Term Loans may differ from those applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, (D) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000, and, if greater than $50,000,000, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (E) shall have a final stated maturity date that is on or later than the Stated Termination Date and may provide for customary amortization; provided, further that (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Added Term Loans, plus the Total Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, shall not exceed $2,300,000,000, (2) no Lender shall be obligated to provide all or any portion of any Added Term Loan under this Section 2.18 without the consent of such Lender, and (3) there shall not exist any Default or Event of Default immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to any such Added Term Loans. Any Lender extending such Added Term Loans (each an “Added Term Lender”) shall be acceptable to the Borrower; provided that in no event shall any such Lender be a natural person or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Added Term Loans the proceeds of which will be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition shall be subject to the provisions of Section 1.7.

(b)The Borrower shall deliver or pay, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent not later than five (5) Business Days prior to any such increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or establishment of a new tranche of Added Term Loans, as applicable, each of the following items with respect to each Added Lender and Increasing Revolving Credit Lender:

(i)a written notice of Borrower’s intention to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or establish a new tranche of Added Term Loans, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.18, which shall specify each Added Lender and Increasing Revolving Credit Lender, the proposed effective date for the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments or the new tranche of Added Term Loans, as applicable, the amounts of the Added Revolving Credit Commitments or the Added Term Loans, as applicable, of each such

Lender that will result (which amounts shall be subject to confirmation by the Administrative Agent), and such other information as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;

(ii)(A) documents in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L, as may be required by the Administrative Agent, executed and delivered by each Added Lender and each Increasing Revolving Credit Lender, pursuant to which it becomes a party hereto or increases its Revolving Credit Commitment or extends Added Term Loans, as applicable and (B) in the case of Added Term Loans, an amendment to this Agreement to the extent necessary in order to effect such Added Term Loans, which amendment shall only be required to be signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Added Term Lender to the extent that such amendment relates only to such Added Term Loans or affects only the Lenders providing such Added Term Loans;

(iii)a non-refundable processing fee of $3,500 with respect to each Added Lender or Increasing Revolving Credit Lender for the sole account of the Administrative Agent.

(c)Upon receipt of any notice referred to in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof and shall distribute an amended Exhibit A (which shall be deemed effective as of the Increased Commitment Date referred to below and thereupon incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes therein resulting from such increase. Upon execution and delivery of the documents and the payment of the fee as described above, and (i) upon delivery to the Administrative Agent (1) in the case of an increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments, by each Added Revolving Credit Lender and Increasing Revolving Credit Lender for further delivery to the Borrower or other Revolving Credit Lenders (as applicable) of immediately available, freely transferable funds in an amount equal to, for each Added Revolving Credit Lender, such Added Lender’s Revolving Percentage (after giving effect to all Added Revolving Credit Commitments) of Revolving Credit Outstandings, and funded Participations and, for each Increasing Lender, the product of the increase in such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Percentage (after giving effect to all Added Revolving Credit Commitments) multiplied by the sum of Revolving Credit Outstandings and funded Participations, as applicable or (2) in the case of the Added Term Loans, by each Added Term Lender for further delivery to the Borrower of immediately available, freely transferable funds in an amount equal to such Added Term Loans being made by such Added Term Lender (in each case, the “Increased Commitment Date”), (x) each such Added Revolving Credit Lender shall constitute a “Revolving Credit Lender”, each such Added Lender in respect of an Added Term Loan shall constitute an “Added Term Lender”, and each such Added Term Lender and Added Revolving Credit Lender shall constitute a “Lender”, in each case for all purposes under this Agreement and related documents and without any acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, with a Commitment as specified in such documents and revised Exhibit A, (y) each such Increasing Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall increase as specified in such documents and revised Exhibit A, and each such Increasing Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Percentage shall be adjusted to reflect the Added Revolving Credit Commitments and shall be specified in such revised Exhibit A. As of the Increased Commitment Date, (i) the respective Revolving Percentages of the Lenders shall be deemed modified as appropriate to correspond to such Added Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) on the Increased Commitment Date with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments, to the extent necessary to keep all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and funded Participations ratable among all Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with any revised Revolving Percentages arising from any Added Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.18, all Interest Periods then outstanding shall be deemed to be terminated without further action or consent of the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5 in connection therewith). In addition, with respect to increases of the Revolving Credit Commitments, if there are at such time outstanding any Revolving Credit Outstandings and funded Participations, each Revolving Credit Lender whose Revolving Percentage has been decreased as a result of the increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to have assigned, without recourse, to each Added Revolving Credit Lender and Increasing Revolving Credit Lender such portion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings or funded Participations as shall be necessary to effectuate such adjustment in Revolving Percentages. Each Increasing Revolving Credit Lender and Added Revolving Credit Lender with respect to increases of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) shall be deemed to have assumed such portion of such Revolving Credit Outstandings and funded Participations and (ii) shall fund to each other Revolving Credit Lender on the Increased Commitment Date the amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings and funded Participations assigned to it by such Lender. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Revolving Credit Lenders on demand any and all amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5 resulting from any such assignment of Revolving Credit Outstandings.

(d)This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 11.1 and 11.6 (other than the last paragraph of Section 11.6) to the contrary.

2.19 Extension of Termination Date. (a) The Borrower may, by delivery of written requests (each, a “Termination Date Extension Request”) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) not less than 60 days prior to the Stated Termination Date, request that the Lenders extend the Stated Termination Date for an

additional period of at least one year; provided, that (i) such request shall be made to all Lenders on the same terms and (ii) one Facility may be extended even if each of the other Facilities are not also extended pursuant to such request. Such Termination Date Extension Request shall set forth (A) any changes to interest rate margins, fees or other pricing that will apply to the extensions of credit by the Lenders that elect to agree to such Termination Date Extension Request (which may be higher or lower than those that apply before giving effect to such Termination Date Extension Request) and (B) any covenants or other terms that will apply solely to any period after the latest Stated Termination Date (if any) applicable to any Lender that elects to agree to such Termination Date Extension Request. Other than the extended Stated Termination Date and the changes described in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding sentence, the terms applicable to the Lenders that elect to agree to such Termination Date Extension Request shall be identical to those that applied before giving effect thereto.

(b)Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 15th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s Termination Date Extension Request (or such other date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree; such date, the “Extension Date”), advise the Borrower whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender and each of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Party”, and each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Party”). The Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to contact each Lender and Issuing Bank to obtain a prompt response to the Termination Date Extension Request. Any Lender or Administrative Agent or each Issuing Bank that has not so advised the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Extension Date shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Party.

(c)The Stated Termination Date shall, as to each Consenting Party, be extended to the date requested in the Termination Date Extension Request. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Termination Date Extension Request shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender and shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank; provided, that (i) the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank shall be required for such Person to continue its respective obligations and duties under the Loan Documents (but not for the extension of the Stated Termination Date), (ii) the obligations and duties under the Loan Documents of the Administrative Agent or each Issuing Bank, as applicable who does not consent to the requested extension shall terminate on the Stated Termination Date in effect prior to any such extension (such Stated Termination Date being called the “Original Stated Termination Date”) (and for the purposes of the second sentence of Section 3.1, the Original Stated Termination Date shall govern the permitted expiry date of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank) and (iii) the Borrower and the Consenting Parties shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank to replace any such Person that does not consent to continue its respective obligations and duties under the Loan Documents in connection with such extension. The Commitment of any Lender that is a Declining Party shall terminate on the Original Stated Termination Date. The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by a Declining Party, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of such Declining Party hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Original Stated Termination Date, and on the Original Stated Termination Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.7, as applicable, as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Parties pursuant to this sentence, the total Aggregate Exposure of all Lenders would not exceed the total Commitments of all Lenders.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.23, the Borrower shall have the right, pursuant to Section 4.7, at any time prior to the Original Stated Termination Date, to replace a Declining Party with a bank or other financial institution that will agree to the applicable Termination Date Extension Request (provided that each such bank or other financial institution, if not already a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) hereunder, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), and any such replacement Person shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Party.

(e)This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 11.1 and 11.6 (other than the last paragraph of Section 11.6) to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

Letters of Credit

3.1 Letters of Credit. The Issuing Banks agree, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon request of the Borrower, to issue from time to time for the account of the Borrower Letters of Credit upon delivery to the applicable Issuing Bank of an Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit relating thereto in form and content acceptable to such Issuing Bank; provided, that (i) no Issuing Bank shall issue (or renew) any Letter of Credit if it has been notified by the Administrative Agent or has actual knowledge that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Letter of Credit Commitment and (iii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued

(or renewed) if, after giving effect thereto, Letter of Credit Outstandings plus Revolving Credit Outstandings plus outstanding Competitive Bid Loans shall exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (including all rights of the Borrower or any beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit to require renewal, but not any renewal options that are subject to the approval of the Issuing Bank) or payment date occurring later than the earlier to occur of one year after the date of its issuance or the fifth Business Day prior to the Stated Termination Date. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit, whether pursuant to an Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit or otherwise, shall constitute its certification that the conditions specified in Section 5.2 with respect to such issuance or renewal have been satisfied. At any one time during the term of this Agreement, not more than four (4) different Revolving Credit Lenders (including any Closing Date Existing Issuing Banks) shall be allowed to act as an Issuing Bank.

3.2 Reimbursement and Participations.

(a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank immediately on demand at its Applicable Lending Office all amounts required to pay all drafts drawn under any Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(iv) and all reasonable expenses incurred by an Issuing Bank in connection with the Letters of Credit, and in any event and without demand to place in possession of the applicable Issuing Bank (which shall include Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility if permitted by Section 2.4) sufficient funds to pay all debts and liabilities arising under any Letter of Credit. The Borrower’s obligations to pay an Issuing Bank under this Section 3.2, and such Issuing Bank’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever. Each Issuing Bank agrees to give the Borrower prompt notice of any request for a draw under a Letter of Credit, but failure to provide such notice shall not affect the parties’ Obligations with respect thereto. Each Issuing Bank may charge any account the Borrower may have with it for any and all amounts such Issuing Bank pays under a Letter of Credit, plus reasonable charges and reasonable expenses as from time to time agreed to by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower; provided that to the extent permitted by Section 2.4(c)(iv), such amounts shall be paid pursuant to Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Borrower agrees that an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, accept or pay, as complying with the terms of any Letter of Credit, any drafts or other documents otherwise in order which may be signed or issued by an administrator, executor, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, attorney in fact or other legal representative of a party who is authorized under such Letter of Credit to draw or issue any drafts or other documents. The Borrower agrees to pay an Issuing Bank interest on any Reimbursement Obligations not paid when due hereunder at the Default Rate.

(b)In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(c), each Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent (and shall also notify the Borrower) of any drawing under any Letter of Credit as promptly as practicable following the receipt by the Issuing Bank of such drawing, but failure to provide such notice shall not affect the parties’ Obligations with respect thereto.

(c)Each Revolving Credit Lender (other than the applicable Issuing Bank) shall automatically acquire on the date of issuance thereof, a Participation in the liability of such Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such liability, and to the extent that the Borrower is obligated to pay such Issuing Bank under Section 3.2(a), each Revolving Credit Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, and shall be unconditionally obligated to pay to such Issuing Bank, its Revolving Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit in the manner and with the effect provided in Section 2.4(c)(iv). With respect to drawings under any of the Letters of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender, upon receipt from the Administrative Agent of notice of a drawing in the manner described in Section 2.4(c)(iv), shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, prior to the applicable time set forth in Section 2.4(c)(iv), its Revolving Percentage of such drawing. Simultaneously with the making of each such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender to an Issuing Bank, such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank or such Lender, acquire a Participation in an amount equal to such payment (excluding the portion thereof constituting interest accrued prior to the date such Lender made its payment) in the related Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower shall be immediately due and payable upon notice to the Borrower (subject to Section 2.4(c)(iv)), whether in Advances made in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(iv) or otherwise. Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iv) and this Section 3.2(c), and the right of such Issuing Bank to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. In the event the Revolving Credit Lenders have purchased Participations in any Reimbursement Obligation as set forth above, then at any time payment (in fully collected, immediately available funds) of such Reimbursement Obligation, in whole or in part, is received by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent from the Borrower, such Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Credit Lender an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of such payment from the Borrower. If any Revolving Credit Lender is obligated to pay but does not pay amounts to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank in full upon such request as required by this Section 3.2(c), such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent

for the account of such Issuing Bank interest on the unpaid amount for each day during the period commencing on the date of notice given to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c) until such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank in full at the Federal Funds Rate.

(d)As soon as practical following the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender, of the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount and the expiry date of such Letter of Credit. Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, each Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice describing the aggregate undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit at the end of such quarter. Upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender from time to time, each Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Lender, any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

(e)Each issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article V, be subject to the conditions that (x) such Letter of Credit be in such form and contain such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank consistent with the then current practices and procedures of such Issuing Bank with respect to similar letters of credit, (y) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall not violate any written policy of the Issuing Bank, and (z) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letters of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested consistent with such practices and procedures. Except as otherwise provided therein, all Letters of Credit shall be governed by the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance).

(f)Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 11.9, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuing Bank, each other Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs and expenses which such Issuing Bank, such other Revolving Credit Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Issuing Bank, such other Revolving Credit Lender or the Administrative Agent) by any Person by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify an Issuing Bank, any other Revolving Credit Lender or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, (i) caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the party to be indemnified or (ii) caused by the failure of an Issuing Bank to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request for payment strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, unless such payment is prohibited by any law, regulation, court order or decree or failure to pay is permitted under the terms of the Applicable Letter of Credit. The indemnification and hold harmless provisions of this Section 3.2(f) shall survive repayment of the Obligations, occurrence of the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Facility Termination Date and expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(g)Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.2(f), the obligation of the Borrower to immediately reimburse an Issuing Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit and each Issuing Bank’s right to receive such payment shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and such obligations of the Borrower shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Letters of Credit and the related Application and Agreement for any Letter of Credit, under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following circumstances:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit, the obligation supported by the Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “Related LC Documents”);

(ii)any amendment or waiver of or any consent to or departure from all or any of the Related LC Documents;

(iii)the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (other than the defense of payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents, the Related LC Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(iv)any breach of contract or other dispute between the Borrower and any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person;

(v)any draft, statement or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

(vi)any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence or modification granted or agreed to by the Administrative Agent, with or without notice to or approval by the Borrower in respect of any of Borrower’s Obligations; or

(vii)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever where the applicable Issuing Bank has acted in good faith, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release an Issuing Bank or any other Lender of any liability for actual loss arising as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct or out of the wrongful dishonor by an Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under and strictly complying with the terms of any Letter of Credit.

3.3 Governmental Action. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, unless the Borrower agrees to compensate the Issuing Bank for such restriction, reserve, capital requirement, loss, cost or expense on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Bank.

3.4 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders based on their Revolving Percentages, a fee on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on each Letter of Credit Outstanding at a rate equal to the Applicable Eurodollar Margin with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility as in effect from time to time, and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank, as issuer of each Letter of Credit, an issuance fee in such amount as may be agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower from time to time. Such payments of fees provided for in this Section 3.4 shall be due with respect to each Letter of Credit quarterly in arrears, such payment to be made not later than the third (3rd) Business Day of each April, July, October and January, commencing on the first such date following the issuance of a Letter of Credit under this Agreement. Such fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

3.5 Administrative Fees. The Borrower shall pay to any Issuing Bank such standard administrative fee and other standard fees, if any, in connection with the Letters of Credit in such amounts and at such times as such Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall agree from time to time.

ARTICLE IV

Change in Circumstances

4.1 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a)If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

(i)shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any increase in the cost (other than Taxes and Other Taxes) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans, any Competitive Bid Loans bearing interest at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate;

(ii)shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or

other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender hereunder;

(iii)shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments; or

(iv)shall subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or its Applicable Lending Office), by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement in each case with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans or any Competitive Bid Loans bearing interest at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate (or in the case of clause (iv), any Loans), then, within ten (10) Business Days of the Borrower’s receipt of a request certifying in reasonable detail calculations of such amount and in reasonable detail, the basis therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost or reduction; provided, that no Lender shall be entitled to claim any such amount or amounts for such increased cost or reduction incurred more than 90 days prior to the delivery of such request and such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender charges other borrowers or account parties on loans or letters of credit (as the case may be) similarly situated to the Borrower in connection with substantially similar facilities; provided further that, if the adoption or change of any law, rule or regulation (or change in the interpretation thereof) giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof but in no event shall be extended to a total period greater than 180 days; provided finally that, in any such case, the Borrower may, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender hereunder to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ notice of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1(a). If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 4.1(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Loans of the Type with respect to which such compensation is requested, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.4 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(b)If after the date hereof any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or any change therein after the date hereof or in the interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive made or issued after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder by an amount deemed material by such Lender and to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, within ten (10) Business Days of the Borrower’s receipt of a request certifying in reasonable detail calculations of such amount and in reasonable detail, the basis therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction, provided, that no Lender shall be entitled to claim any such amount or amounts for such increased cost incurred more than 90 days prior to the delivery of such request and such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender charges other borrowers or account parties on loans or letters of credit (as the case may be) similarly situated to the Borrower in connection with substantially similar facilities.

(c)Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 4.1 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In

determining such amount, such Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d)The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall continue in effect notwithstanding the Facility Termination Date.

(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(f)The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, without duplication, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves (including any basic, emergency, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to a Eurodollar Loan or a Competitive Rate Loan under regulations issued from time to time by the Board (or other Governmental Authority) having jurisdiction with respect thereto for determining the maximum reserve requirement with respect to Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of the Board) maintained by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan and/or Competitive Rate Loan, as applicable, equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive); provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten days from receipt of such notice.

4.2 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)If at least two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate:

(i)provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Interbank Offered Rate (including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or

(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request pursuant to Section 2.12 that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate shall be ineffective and any such Loan shall be continued as or converted to, as the case may be, a Base Rate Loan, (B) if any request pursuant to Section 2.4 requests a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and (C) any request by the Borrower for a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate shall be ineffective; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Loans, then the other Type of Loans shall be permitted.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Interbank Offered Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be

entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of Interbank Offered Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and, if applicable, Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 4.2, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.2.

(e)Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) any request pursuant to Section 2.12 that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate shall be ineffective and, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, any such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted to, as the case may be, a Base Rate Loan, (ii) if any Borrowing Notice requests a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and (iii) any request by the Borrower for a Competitive Bid Loan at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate shall be ineffective.

4.3 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that, after the date hereof, it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans or Competitive Bid Loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or Competitive Bid Loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate and to Convert other Types of Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans or Competitive Bid Loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Competitive Rate shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.4 shall be applicable).

4.4 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan bearing interest at a Eurodollar Competitive Rate or to Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of a particular Type shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof (Loans of such Type being herein called “Affected Loans” and such Type being herein called the “Affected Type”), such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Affected Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.3 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a)to the extent that such Lender’s Affected Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b)all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Affected Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Loans of the Affected Type made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) as selected by the Borrower for such outstanding Loans of the Affected Type, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Loans of the Affected Type and by such

Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages.

4.5 Compensation. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan notwithstanding satisfaction of all conditions precedent thereto) to prepay, borrow, Continue (including by reason of any prepayment) or Convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 4.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan made by it at the Interbank Offered Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate or Eurodollar Competitive Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore Dollar interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall continue in effect notwithstanding the Facility Termination Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender party hereto on the Closing Date hereby agrees that the Borrower shall not be required to make payments to such Lender under this Section 4.5 solely to the extent such payments would arise from the continuation of the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender in each case on the Closing Date.

4.6 Taxes.

(a)Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”). If any Withholding Agent shall, in its good faith determination, be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.6) such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b)The Loan Parties agree to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any and all present or future stamp, court, or documentary, intangible, recording, filing taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.6) payable or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy 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)

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if 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 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 4.6(d)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(1)each Lender that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, two executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2)each Lender that is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)in the case of a Non-U.S. 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 executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, 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 executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, 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 executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit M to the effect that such Non-U.S. 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 two executed copies of the applicable IRS Form W-8, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such

Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(3)Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(4)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by 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 applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and 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 clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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.

(e)Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. 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.

(f)If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.6, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.6, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other reasonably acceptable documentation evidencing such payment.

(h) 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 4.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.6), 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 4.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket 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 (h) (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. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less

favorable net after-Tax 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.

(i)The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall continue in effect notwithstanding the Facility Termination Date.

4.7 Replacement Lenders. The Borrower may, in its sole discretion, on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and a Lender, cause a Lender that (a) is or may become entitled to receive any indemnification payment, additional amount or other compensation under this Article IV or that fails to make Loans for the reasons provided in this Article IV, (b) is a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained) to (and such Lender shall) assign pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof (with such Lender being deemed to have executed an Assignment and Assumption for the purpose of effecting such assignment), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another Lender, an Affiliate of another Lender or a Person reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower which is willing to become a Lender for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender, together with any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans, any accrued but unpaid fees with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, that any expenses or other amounts which would be owing to such Lender pursuant to any indemnification provision hereunder shall be payable by the Borrower to such Lender.

Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

4.8 Defaulting Revolving Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Revolving Credit Commitment (if any) of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(ii);

(b)if any Letter of Credit Outstandings exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of such Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (w) the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings of any non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at such time; and

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (1) if a drawing is made under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(iv) and (2) if a Letter of Credit is requested by the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.1(a) during any period where there is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall enter into an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to cover in whole or in part (which such arrangement may include cash collateralization) the exposure of the Issuing Bank related to the participating interests of such Defaulting Lender in such newly issued Letter of Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or until such Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 4.7;

(iii)if and so long as the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings pursuant to Section 4.8(b)(ii), then, in the case of any such Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 with respect thereto;

(iv)upon any reallocation described in clause (i) above, the fees payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.13(a)(ii) and 3.4 shall be adjusted accordingly; and

(v)if any such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 4.8(b)(i), then, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.4 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be payable to the relevant Issuing Bank until such cash collateralization and/or reallocation occurs;

(c)no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be covered in whole or in part by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders and/or cash collateral or other arrangements will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.8(b)(ii), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be (i) allocated among non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders and/or (ii) covered by arrangements made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.8(b)(ii) in a manner consistent with Section 4.8(b)(i) and (ii) (and any such Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(d)in the case of any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.3 but excluding Section 4.7) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender and without duplication, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated interest-bearing account reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Bank, held in such account as cash collateral for existing or (unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Credit Commitment) future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or (unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Credit Commitment) future Participation in any Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Revolving Credit Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Credit Commitment, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or any Guarantor as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Guarantor against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, that, with respect to this clause (viii), if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations as to which a Defaulting Lender has funded its Participation and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Credit Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Revolving Credit Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

(e)Upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to such Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent will promptly provide to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks), the Borrower shall have the right to terminate the then unutilized Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, after taking into account the portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment, if any, which theretofore has been, or substantially contemporaneous therewith is being, assigned pursuant to Section 4.7. In the event of any such termination, future extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be allocated to the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in a manner that disregards the existence of any remaining Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.

(f)The Revolving Credit Commitment and Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.6); provided, that this clause (f) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender directly affected thereby that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agrees that any such Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the Letter of Credit Outstandings of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage and (ii) any arrangements made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.8(b)(ii) shall be terminated and any cash collateral or arrangement provided by the Borrower in accordance thereto will be terminated or promptly returned to the Borrower, as applicable.

The provisions of this Agreement relating to funding, payment and other matters with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 4.8. The provisions of this Section 4.8 may not be amended, supplemented or modified without, in addition to consents required by Section 11.6, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.

ARTICLE X

The Administrative Agent

10.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action 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 expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

10.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

(b)For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5.1, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

10.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

10.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so to the extent required by Section 11.9 hereof), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, 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 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 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8 Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(g) or (h) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.10 Other Agents, Etc. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent,” “Documentation Agent,” “Co-Lead Arranger” or “Joint Bookrunner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

10.11 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous

11.1 Assignments and Participations.

(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 (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) (other than (w) a natural person, (x) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, (y) a Defaulting Lender or (z) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person (in which case the Borrower shall instead be promptly notified of such assignment by the assigning Lender unless the Assignee is an Affiliate of such assigning Lender); provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to

any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B)the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below).

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments 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 $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B)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 (which fee shall not be reimbursed by the Borrower); and

(C)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

For the purposes of this Section 11.1, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, 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, 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 4.1, 4.5, 4.6 and 11.9). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.1 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the 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 the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)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 paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register, including the total ownership interest of the relevant Loan that the Assignee owns

subsequent to the assignment. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (w) a natural person, (x) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, (y) a Defaulting Lender or (z) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 (including with respect to the matters described in this Section 11.1(c)(i)) and (D) such participations shall be in a minimum amount equal to the lesser of $5,000,000 or the remaining portion of a Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder which are not subject to a pre-existing participation. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 11.6(a) or (b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.5 and 4.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3(a) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.3(b) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1, 4.5 or 4.6 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 Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.6 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.6(d).

(iii)Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that 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 reasonably necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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. The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue a Note to any Lender requiring such Note to facilitate transactions of the type described in this paragraph (d).

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender will assign or sell participations in all or a portion of its Loans or Commitments to any Person who is (i) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and/or on any other similar list maintained by the OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation or (ii) either (A) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (B) designated under Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) or similarly designated under any related enabling legislation or any other similar Executive Orders.

11.2 Notices. Any notice shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by any party hereto and be effective (i) on the day on which delivered (including hand delivery by commercial courier service) to such party (against receipt therefor), (ii) on the date of transmission to such party, in the case of notice by telefacsimile (where the proper transmission of such notice is either acknowledged by the recipient or electronically confirmed by the transmitting device), or (iii) on the fifth Business Day after the day on which mailed to such party, if sent prepaid by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, in each case delivered, transmitted or mailed, as the case may be, to the address or telefacsimile number, as appropriate, set forth below or such other address or number as such party shall specify by notice hereunder:

11.3 Right of Set-off; Adjustments.

(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with Section 4.8 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set off. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.3 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

(b)If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect of such Loans or interest thereon (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender or is repaid in whole or in part by such benefited Lender in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery or settlement payment, but without interest.. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from a Lender pursuant to this Section 11.3 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Person were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

11.4 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the execution and delivery to the Lenders of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date, subject to Section 11.8.

11.5 Expenses.

11.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed (or consented to in writing) by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party party to such Loan Document and (except as provided in Section 2.18, Section 2.19, Section 4.2(b), Section 4.2(c) and clauses (a) and (b) below) either the Required Lenders or (as to Loan Documents other than this Agreement) the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (and, if Article X hereof or the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that

(a)no such amendment or waiver shall, (i) increase the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce (x) the principal of or rate of interest on any Revolving Credit Loan or Competitive Bid Loan made by any Lender without the consent of such Lender; provided that the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or Section 4.2(c), as applicable, shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this subclause (x), (y) the amounts of any Reimbursement Obligations owed to any Lender hereunder without the consent of such Lender or (z) any fees payable to any Lender hereunder without the consent of such Lender, except that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” hereunder or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate, (iii) (except as provided in Section 2.19) postpone any date scheduled for the payment of principal, interest or fees payable to any Lender hereunder (other than any mandatory prepayments) without the consent of such Lender or for termination of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (iv) (except as provided in Section 2.18 or 2.19) adversely change any pro rata provisions of Section 2.9 without the consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby or (v) without the consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, reduce the specified percentage amount below 50% in the definition of Required Lenders or, except as provided in Section 2.18, the percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments or outstanding Loans held by any Lender, as applicable, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section 11.6(a); and provided, further, that no such amendment or waiver that affects the rights, privileges or obligations of any Issuing Bank as issuer of Letters of Credit, shall be effective unless signed in writing by such Issuing Bank; and

(b)to the extent Guarantors are required pursuant to Section 7.18, no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors, or subordinate all or substantially all of the Facility Guarantees, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as contemplated in the applicable Loan Documents.

Any such waiver and any such amendment or modification pursuant to this Section 11.6 shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. Except as otherwise set forth in such waiver, any Default or Event of Default that is waived pursuant to this Section 11.6 shall not be deemed to be a Default or Event of Default during the period of such waiver.

No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. No delay or omission on any Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document, (ii) this Agreement may be amended to permit modifications to terms governing new tranches of Added Term Loans or any other additional facilities that may be implemented hereunder (“Additional Facilities”) with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower and the lenders providing such Added Term Loans or Additional Facilities (and without the consent of any other Lender) to the extent that such changes relate only to such Added Term Loans or Additional Facilities, as applicable, or directly affect only the lenders providing such Added Term Loans or Additional Facilities, as applicable, subject in each case with respect to the Added Term Loans to the limitations set forth in Section 2.18 and (iii) this Agreement may be amended to permit modifications permitted to be made by Section 2.19 with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower and the Lenders that elect to agree to the applicable Termination Date Extension Request (and without the consent of any other Lender).

11.7 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such fully-executed counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a

signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries 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, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, 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; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit the provisions of Section 10.4.

11.8 Termination. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date, except that (x) those provisions which by the express terms thereof continue in effect notwithstanding the Facility Termination Date, and (y) obligations in the nature of continuing indemnities or expense reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable, shall continue in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment to any Person because such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, a diversion of trust funds or for any other reason or elects to repay any such amount in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, (i) this Agreement (including the provisions pertaining to Participations in Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations) and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force (or be reinstated, as the case may be) and the Borrower shall be liable to, and shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender harmless for, the amount of such payment surrendered until the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender shall have been finally paid in full, and (ii) in the event any portion of any amount so required to be surrendered by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank shall have been distributed to the Lenders, the Lenders shall promptly repay such amounts to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank on demand therefor. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Lenders in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s or the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

11.9 Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a)Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (limited, in the case of counsel, to the reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one primary counsel to the Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and an additional single local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction for all such Indemnified Parties (and, to the extent reasonably necessary in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties)) that may be incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection therewith) the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability (i) is found by a judgment or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party or such Indemnified Party’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors or agents, (ii) is found by a judgment or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from a breach in any material respect of the obligations of such Indemnified Party under the Loan Documents or (iii) arises out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party (other than any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought against any Indemnified Party solely in its capacity as such or in fulfillment of its role as an Agent, Arranger or similar role under the Revolving Credit Facility). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.9 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to it, any of its Subsidiaries, any Guarantor, or any security holders or creditors thereof arising out of, related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, except to the extent that such

liability is found by a judgment or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Neither any Agent-Related Person, nor any Lender, nor any of their Affiliates, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents or advisors (collectively, the “Agent/Lender Entities”) shall be liable, on any theory of liability, for (and the Borrower and its Affiliates agree not to assert any claim against any Agent/Lender Entity for) any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Borrower’s affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and advisors (collectively, the “Borrower Entities”) shall be liable, on any theory of liability, for (and Agent-Related Persons, Lenders and their respective Affiliates agree not to assert any claim against any Borrower Entities for) any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by any Indemnified Party to a third party in circumstances in which such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.9).

(b)The agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 11.9 shall continue in effect notwithstanding the Facility Termination Date.

11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined to be illegal or invalid as to one or more of the parties hereto, then such provision shall remain in effect with respect to all parties, if any, as to whom such provision is neither illegal nor invalid, and in any event all other provisions hereof shall remain effective and binding on the parties hereto.

11.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous proposals, negotiations, representations, commitments and other communications between or among the parties, both oral and written, with respect thereto.

11.12 Agreement Controls. In the event that any term of any of the Loan Documents other than this Agreement conflicts with any express term of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such conflict.

11.13 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged hereunder, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower. As used in this paragraph, the term “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(e)THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE THAT ANY COURT TO WHOSE JURISDICTION THEY HAVE SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

11.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (together, the “Lending Parties”, and individually a “Lending Party”) agrees to keep confidential the Information (as defined below); provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from disclosing such Information (a) to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending Party or Affiliate of any Lending Party, in each case who shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (b) to any other Person approved by the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) if reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility provided herein so long as such Person is bound by the provisions of this Section 11.15, (c) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority; provided that, to the extent commercially practical and not prohibited by applicable law or court order, and except in the case of any such request in connection with a regular or routine examination of the financial condition of such Lender in the ordinary course of its business by a governmental or regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it, the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender, shall notify the Borrower of any request by any regulatory agency or authority for disclosure of any non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, (f) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lending Party prohibited by this Agreement or by any confidentiality agreement to which such Lending Party is a party, (g) in connection with any litigation to which such Lending Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party; provided that to the extent commercially feasible and not prohibited by applicable law or court order the Borrower shall be given notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective court order with respect to such disclosed information prior to such disclosure, (h) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that to the extent commercially feasible and not prohibited by applicable law or court order the Borrower shall be given notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective court order with respect to such disclosed information prior to such disclosure, and (i) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee that is subject to provisions substantially similar to those

contained in this Section 11.15. For the purposes of this Section 11.15, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.15 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 of similar nature.

11.16 Releases of Facility Guarantees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 11.6) to, and the Administrative Agent shall, take any action requested by the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, having the effect of releasing any Facility Guaranty to the extent necessary to (a) permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.6 or (b) release any Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.17. Further, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to), upon the request of the Borrower, release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Facility Guaranty if such Guarantor is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary and the Borrower would be in compliance with Section 7.18 and (ii) if such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary on the basis that it is an Immaterial Subsidiary, the thresholds set forth in the definition of “Immaterial Subsidiary,” in each case after giving effect to such release; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Senior Officer of the Borrower stating that (i) such Guarantor is or has become an Excluded Subsidiary and that any related transaction causing such Guarantor to become an Excluded Subsidiary is permitted by this Agreement and the Borrower is in compliance with Section 7.18 and (ii) if such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary on the basis that it is an Immaterial Subsidiary, the thresholds set forth in the definition of “Immaterial Subsidiary,” in each case after giving effect to such release.

11.17 Guarantor Release. To the extent any Facility Guaranty is outstanding, the Guarantors shall be released from all obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Facility Guarantees at such time as all Guarantors cease to guarantee Indebtedness for borrowed money, other than a discharge through payment thereon, under all Material Credit Facilities of the Borrower (the “Guarantor Release”); provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Guarantor Release; provided further that the foregoing shall not require the prior release of any guarantee under any Material Credit Facility which, by its terms, will be released upon the release of such Guarantors’ guarantee of the Revolving Credit Facility (each, an “Auto-Releasing Credit Facility”).

11.18 MANUFACTURER CONSENTS. IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT, TO THE EXTENT ANY FACILITY GUARANTY IS OUTSTANDING (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE RESPECTIVE MANUFACTURER WAIVES ANY OF THE TERMS OF A MANUFACTURER CONSENT OR A MANUFACTURER CONSENT IS TERMINATED OR CEASES TO BE IN EFFECT): (A) THE EXERCISE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER (WHETHER THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR OTHERWISE) OF REMEDIES UNDER ANY FACILITY GUARANTY WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE MANUFACTURER CONSENTS, (B) IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE MANUFACTURER CONSENTS AND THE TERMS OF ANY FACILITY GUARANTY, THE TERMS OF THE MANUFACTURER CONSENTS WILL CONTROL, (C) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGREES TO FURNISH SUCH NOTICES AS IT IS REQUIRED TO FURNISH UNDER SUCH MANUFACTURER CONSENTS, AND (D) THE MANUFACTURERS PROVIDING SUCH MANUFACTURER CONSENTS SHALL BE THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THIS SECTION.

11.19 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act.

11.20 Effect of Amendment and Restatement.

(a)Upon the Closing Date, (i) this Agreement shall amend, and restate as amended, the Existing Credit Agreement, but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any way impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of

the parties thereunder (including with respect to Loans and representations and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or obligations are amended or modified hereby and (ii) the Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) provided for in the Existing Credit Agreement shall cease to be in effect and shall be replaced in full by the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement. The Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby shall be deemed to be a continuing agreement among the parties, and all documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement not amended and restated in connection with the entry of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, each in accordance with its terms, as of the date of delivery or such other date as contemplated by such document, instrument or agreement to the same extent as if the modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement contained herein were set forth in an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement in a customary form, unless such document, instrument or agreement has otherwise been terminated or has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or such document, instrument or agreement or as otherwise agreed by the required parties hereto or thereto.

(b)Upon the Closing Date, the Existing Revolving Credit Loans shall automatically, without any action on the part of any Person, be designated for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Revolving Credit Loans, and the Closing Date Existing Letters of Credit shall continue as Letters of Credit under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit exposure in respect of the Existing Revolving Credit Loans and the Existing Letters of Credit as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s Outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations hereunder on the Closing Date reflects such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the commitments of each Exiting Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated, all outstanding amounts due under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to such Exiting Lender on the Closing Date shall be paid in full, and each Exiting Lender shall not be a Lender under this Agreement (it being understood that each Lender under this Agreement shall not have been deemed to assume the commitments of the Exiting Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement). Concurrently therewith, the Lenders shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation interests in any outstanding Letters of Credit so that such interests are held ratably in accordance with their Commitments as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 11.20(b).

11.21 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document 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 party hereto 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 entity, 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.

11.22 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this instrument to be made, executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

For all purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, “Borrower’s Liabilities” means: (a) the Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from the Borrower to any one or more of the Guaranteed Parties, including principal, interest, premiums, indemnification obligations, reimbursement obligations, and fees (including, but not limited to, loan fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); (b) the Borrower’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents; and (c) the Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of Rate Hedging Obligations now or hereafter arising under Existing Swap Agreements (as defined below); provided, that for purposes of determining any Guarantor Obligations (as defined below) of any Guarantor under this Agreement, the definition of Borrower’s Liabilities shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of any Excluded Swap Obligations (as defined below) of such Guarantor. The Guarantors’ obligations to the Guaranteed Parties under this Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Guarantor individually, the “Guarantor’s Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor individually with respect to its Guarantor’s Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

Each Guarantor agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable (subject to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence) for the Borrower’s Liabilities (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor).

As used herein:

“Excluded Swap Obligation” means with respect to any Guarantor, (a) any Swap Obligation (as defined below) if, and to the extent that, and only for so long as, all or a portion of the guarantee of such Guarantor of such Swap Obligation (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure to constitute an “eligible contract participant,” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder, at the time the guarantee of (or grant of such security interest by, as applicable) such Guarantor becomes or would become effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or (b) any other Swap Obligation designated as an “Excluded Swap Obligation” of such Guarantor as specified in any agreement between the relevant Loan Parties and a counterparty thereto, applicable to such Swap Obligations and agreed by the Administrative Agent. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one Swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to Swaps for which such guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal.

“Existing Swap Agreement” means one or more agreements in effect on the Closing Date between the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender with respect to Permitted Indebtedness of the Borrower, which agreements create Rate Hedging Obligations. All obligations of the Borrower under Existing Swap Agreements to which any Lender or its affiliates are a party shall be deemed to be Borrower’s Liabilities, and each Lender or affiliate of a Lender party to any such Existing Swap Agreement shall be deemed to be a Guaranteed Party hereunder with respect to such Borrower’s Liabilities; provided, however, that such obligations shall cease to be Borrower’s Liabilities at such time as such Person (or affiliate of such Person) shall cease to be a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement. No Person who obtains the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement by virtue of the provisions of this paragraph shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Guarantors’ Obligations (including the release or modification of any Guarantors’ Obligations) other than in its capacity as a Lender and only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

“Swap” means any agreement, contract, or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

“Swap Obligation” means with respect to any person, any obligation to pay or perform under any Swap.

2. Payment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then any or all of the Guarantors will, upon demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, subject to any restriction on each Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in Section 1 hereof, an amount equal to all of the Borrower’s Liabilities then due and owing.

3. Absolute Rights and Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantors’ Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall be joint and several, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement to which it is a party by reason of:

(a) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, of any other Loan Document (other than this Guaranty Agreement), or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, this Guaranty Agreement with respect to any other Guarantor, or any other guaranty of any of the Borrower’s Liabilities (such Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”);

(b) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided;

(c) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, for any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any Guarantor, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(e) any dissolution of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement;

(f) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, and any acceptance of late or partial payments or any increase in any credit facilities available or amounts borrowed (including, without limitation, increases pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;

(g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Borrower’s Liabilities (including without limitation the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor and obligations arising under any other Facility Guaranty now or hereafter in effect other than (subject to Section 12 hereof) the payment in full of Borrower’s Liabilities and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date);

(h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty Agreement with respect to any other Guarantor, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;

(i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to the Borrower or any other Guarantor or to any collateral in respect of the Borrower’s Liabilities or Guarantors’ Obligations (other than (subject to Section 12 hereof) payment in full of the Borrower’s Liabilities and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.)

Subject to Section 19 hereof, it is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty Agreement and the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except (subject to Section 12 hereof) by payment in full of the Borrower’s Liabilities and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

4. Currency and Funds of Payment. All Guarantors’ Obligations will be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect that might in any manner affect the Borrower’s Liabilities, or the rights of any Guaranteed Party with respect thereto as against the Borrower, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment by the Borrower of any or all of the Borrower’s Liabilities.

5. Subordination. Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 19 hereof, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and future debts, liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to such Guarantor (i) of the Borrower, to the payment in full of the Borrower’s Liabilities, (ii) of every other Guarantor (an “obligated guarantor”), to the payment in full of the Guarantors’ Obligations of such obligated guarantor, and (iii) of each other Person now or hereafter constituting a Loan Party, to the payment in full of the obligations of such Loan Party owing to any Guaranteed Party and arising under the Loan Documents. All amounts due under such subordinated debts, liabilities, or obligations shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the Administrative Agent, be collected and, upon request by the Administrative Agent, paid over forthwith to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties on account of the Borrower’s Liabilities, the Guarantors’ Obligations, or such other Obligations, as applicable, and, after such request and pending such payment, shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and bailee of the Guaranteed Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and accounts of such Guarantor.

6. Suits. Each Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, on demand, at the Administrative Agent’s place of business set forth in the Credit Agreement or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to such Guarantor, the Guarantors’ Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event such payment is not made forthwith, the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit against any one or more or all of the Guarantors. At the Administrative Agent’s election, one or more and successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent against any one or more or all of the Guarantors, whether or not suit has

been commenced against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person and whether or not the Guaranteed Parties have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all or any portion of the Borrower’s Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the Borrower’s Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition described in Section 3 hereof.

7. Set-Off and Waiver. Each Guarantor waives any right to assert against any Guaranteed Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its Guarantors’ Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the Borrower or the Guaranteed Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to such Guarantor; provided that no Guarantor shall at any time be required to waive any defense of termination of this Guaranty Agreement and all of the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 19 hereof. Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 19 hereof, and subject to Section 12 hereof, each Guarantor hereby authorizes each Guaranteed Party from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time or times while an Event of Default is continuing with or without prior notice to set-off and apply to such of the Guarantor’s Obligations to the Guaranteed Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Credit Agreement or otherwise as they may elect, any and all deposits or deposit accounts, of any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Guaranteed Party or otherwise in the possession or control of such Guaranteed Party for any purpose (other than solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of such Guarantor, including any balance of any deposit account or of any credit of such Guarantor with the Guaranteed Party, whether now existing or hereafter established; provided, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligations,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. For the purposes of this Section 7, all remittances and property shall be deemed to be in the possession of a Guaranteed Party as soon as the same may be put in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other bailee.

8. Waiver of Notice; Subrogation.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement; (ii) the Lenders’ heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter making Loans and issuing Letters of Credit and otherwise loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of the Borrower, whether pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described in Section 3 hereof. Each Guarantor agrees that each Guaranteed Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Guaranteed Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing such Guarantor from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by such Guarantor of its Guarantor’s Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties upon demand by the Administrative Agent to such Guarantor without the Administrative Agent being required, such Guarantor expressly waiving to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Borrower’s Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related Agreement by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Borrower’s Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY SUCH GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees with respect to this Guaranty Agreement that it shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the Borrower’s Liabilities unless and until one year and three days after the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets. This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or

indemnity by any Guarantor against the estate of any other Loan Party within the meaning of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a subsequent case involving any other Loan Party. If an amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 19 hereof, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise as the Guaranteed Parties may elect. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Guaranty Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination in accordance with Section 19 hereof, and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

9. Effectiveness; Enforceability. This Guaranty Agreement shall be effective as of the date first above written and shall continue in full force and effect until termination in accordance with Section 19 hereof. Any claim or claims that the Guaranteed Parties may at any time hereafter have against a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement may be asserted by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties by written notice directed to such Guarantor in accordance with Section 21 hereof.

10. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor warrants and represents to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, that:

(a) it is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or creation;

(b) it has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty Agreement;

(c) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty Agreement has been duly authorized by all Organizational Action of such Guarantor required for the lawful execution, delivery and performance hereof;

(d) when executed and delivered, this Guaranty Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation or agreement of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity which may limit the availability of equitable remedies (whether in a proceeding at law or in equity); and

(e) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty Agreement does not violate any provisions of (1) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (2) any judgment, writ, order, determination, decree or arbitral award of any Governmental Authority or arbitral authority binding on such Guarantor or its properties, or (3) the Organizational Documents or Operating Documents of such Guarantor.

11. Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement.

12. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, at any time payment received by any Guaranteed Party in respect of any Borrower’s Liabilities is rescinded or must be restored for any reason, or is repaid by any Guaranteed Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of any pending or threatened avoidance claim.

13. Reliance. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, that: (a) such Guarantor has adequate means to obtain on a continuing basis (i) from the Borrower, information concerning the Borrower and the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs and (ii) from other reliable sources, such other information as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement (“Other Information”), and has full and complete access to the Borrower’s books and records and to such Other Information; (b) such Guarantor is not relying on any Guaranteed Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or affiliates, to provide any such information, now or in the future; (c) such Guarantor has been furnished with and reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and such other Loan Documents as it has requested, is executing this Guaranty Agreement freely and deliberately, and understands the obligations and financial risk undertaken by providing this Guaranty Agreement; (d) such Guarantor has relied solely on the Guarantor’s own independent investigation, appraisal and analysis of the Borrower, the Borrower’s financial

condition and affairs, the “Other Information”, and such other matters as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement and is fully aware of the same; and (e) such Guarantor has not depended or relied on any Guaranteed Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or affiliates, for any information whatsoever concerning the Borrower or the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs or any other matters material to such Guarantor’s decision to provide this Guaranty Agreement, or for any counseling, guidance, or special consideration or any promise therefor with respect to such decision. Each Guarantor agrees that no Guaranteed Party has any duty or responsibility whatsoever, now or in the future, to provide to such Guarantor any information concerning the Borrower or the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs, or any Other Information, other than as expressly provided herein, and that, if such Guarantor receives any such information from any Guaranteed Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or affiliates, such Guarantor will independently verify the information and will not rely on any Guaranteed Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or affiliates, with respect to such information.

14. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Sections 1.2(a) through 1.2(k) of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference.

15. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. Except as provided in Section 19, neither this Guaranty Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement and with the written consent of each Guarantor affected thereby.

16. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Guaranty Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall be permitted to assign any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Guaranty Agreement or any other interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 16, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. All references herein to the Administrative Agent shall include any successor thereof permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

17. Severability. The provisions of this Guaranty Agreement are independent of and separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

18. Counterparts. This Guaranty Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Guarantor against whom enforcement is sought.

A Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 11.16 and, if applicable, Section 11.17 of the Credit Agreement.

20. Remedies Cumulative; Late Payments. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party provided by law or under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or other applicable agreements or instruments. The making of the Loans and other extensions of credit to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made or extended, respectively, in reliance upon each Guarantor’s guaranty of the Borrower’s Liabilities pursuant to the terms hereof. Any amounts not paid when due under this Guaranty Agreement shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

21. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given, (a) with respect to each Guarantor, at the address of the Borrower indicated in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party, at the Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON BEHALF OF THE GUARANTEED PARTIES HEREBY AGREE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT ANY SUCH PERSON MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING.

23. State Law Waivers

(a) Certain California Law Waivers. As used in this Section 23(a), any reference to “the principal” includes the Borrower, and any reference to “the creditor” includes the Adminis-trative Agent and the Lenders. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code:

(1) each Guarantor agrees (i) to waive any and all rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower or against any collateral or security granted by the Borrower for any of the Guarantor’s Obligations and (ii) to withhold the exercise of any and all rights of contribution against any other guarantor of any of the Guarantor’s Obligations and against any collateral or security granted by any such other guarantor for any of the Guarantor’s Obligations until the Guarantor’s Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full;

(2) Guarantor waives any and all other rights and defenses available to Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code, including any and all rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the principal with respect to any of the Guarantor’s Obligations, or to any other guarantor of any of the Guarantor’s Obligations with respect to any of such Guarantor’s Obligations under its guaranty, in either case pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the principal’s indebtedness or such Guarantor’s Obligations, including Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure; and

(3) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for any Guaranteed Obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; and even though that election of remedies by the creditor, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guarantor’s Obligations, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of contribution against such other guarantor.

(b) Certain Georgia Law Waivers. Each Guarantor expressly waives, without any requirement of any notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefit of all principles or provisions of applicable law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 10-7-23 and Section 10-7-24 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

(c) Certain Arizona Law Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby fully and completely waives, releases and relinquishes (i) all defenses and claims based on principles of suretyship and/or guaranty, and (ii) any and all benefits under Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 12-1641 through 12-1646 and Rule 17(f) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.

No other provision of this Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this Section 23. In accordance with Section 22(a) hereof, this Guaranty Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accor-dance with, the internal laws of the State of New York). This Section 23 is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California, Arizona or Georgia law are in any way applica-ble to this Guaranty Agreement or to any of the Guarantor’s Obligations.

24. Keepwell. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider (as defined below) hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under a Facility Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell Provider shall only be liable under this Section 24 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 24, or otherwise under this guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 24 shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this Section 24 constitute, and this Section 24 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. As used herein, “Qualified Keepwell Provider” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party that, at the time the relevant guarantee (or grant of the relevant security interest, as applicable) becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder

and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” with respect to such Swap Obligation at such time by entering into a keepwell or guarantee pursuant to Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
