“Benchmark Transition Event”: the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

SECTION 2.    AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOAN COMMITMENTS

2.1    [Reserved.]

2.2    Revolving Commitments.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make or maintain, as applicable, revolving loans in Dollars to the Company from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Company may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying and re-borrowing the Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

(b)    The Company shall repay all outstanding Loans on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

(c)    The Loans may from time to time be SOFR Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Company and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.8.

2.3    Procedure for Loan Borrowing.

(a)    Subject to Section 3.1(c)(ii), the Company may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that, with respect to any borrowing of Loans (except as contemplated by Section 3.1(c)(ii)), the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice (which shall be irrevocable and must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (i) 3 U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of SOFR Loans, or (ii) 1 Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans), specifying (A) the amount and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date and (C) in the case of SOFR Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $200,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments for all Revolving Lenders are less than $200,000, such lesser amount) or (y) in the case of SOFR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments for all Revolving Lenders are less than $500,000, such lesser amount), other than, in the case of clauses (x) and (y), a borrowing in the amount of a Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing as contemplated by Section 3.1(c). Upon receipt of any Borrowing Notice from the Company, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Company at the Funding Office (or by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent Account, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Administrative Agent) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Company by the Administrative Agent by promptly transferring the aggregate amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent to an account specified by the Company.

(b)    Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations to make Loans on the same terms and conditions as set forth the herein and the Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Revolving Lender resulting in the failure of such

29

Revolving Lender to make such Loans under this Section 2.3. Subject to Section 2.19(a)(vii) to the extent applicable, the respective obligations of each Lender under this Agreement are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

2.4    Fees.

(a)    The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily outstanding amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(b)    The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a letter of credit fee (the “Revolving L/C Fee”) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the Revolving L/C Expiration Date and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any Revolving L/C Obligations, on such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the average daily maximum aggregate Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit during the period for which payment is made, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans effective for each day of such period. The Revolving L/C Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(c)    If any Issuing Bank has fronting exposure to a Revolving Lender that is not such Issuing Bank in its capacity as Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of such Issuing Bank, the Company agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in amounts and pursuant to terms to be separately agreed between the Company and such Issuing Bank. The fronting fee (if any) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. In addition, the Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect, which fees, costs and charges shall be payable to such Issuing Bank within 30 Business Days after its demand therefor.

2.5    Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company shall have the right, upon not less than 3 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit in respect would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $500,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or an amount equal to the aggregate Available Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders), and shall ratably reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

2.6    Optional Prepayments.

(a)    The Company may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, 3 U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior thereto, in the case of SOFR Loans, and no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, 1 Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and the amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of SOFR Loans or ABR Loans; provided that if a SOFR Loan is prepaid on any day other

30

than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Company shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 on the date of prepayment. 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 Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued and unpaid interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in the event of a prepayment in full of the Loans, an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Loans being prepaid). The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to SOFR Loans.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.6(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from or would have been made in connection with a refinancing of all or a part of the Revolving Facility or a sale of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock in or the assets of the Company or other similar event, which refinancing, sale or other event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

2.7    Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a)    In the event of a Change of Control, (i) the Company shall prepay the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawings then outstanding in full (at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest), Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit and pay in full all other outstanding Credit Facility Obligations on the date that such Change of Control occurs and (ii) all Commitments shall be permanently terminated.

(b)    In the event of a Disposition by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company of any minority equity investment, all or substantially all of the property and assets or business of any Person, or of assets constituting a business unit, a line of business or division of such Person, or of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock in a Person (other than any Disposition listed on Schedule 2.7(b)) (provided that no such Disposition will be permitted hereunder if a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom), the Company shall not later than 3 Business Days after the date that such Disposition occurs prepay the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding (at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest) and other outstanding Credit Facility Obligations in accordance with Section 2.7(c) and permanently and ratably reduce the Commitments in an amount (if any) sufficient, together with any prepayment of Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries made in connection with such Disposition, to cause the Debt to Capitalization of the Company not to exceed the Debt to Capitalization Limit on a Pro Forma Basis (assuming, for purposes of this determination, that all Revolving Commitments have been fully drawn), and the Company has delivered an certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to the foregoing to the Administrative Agent.

(c)    Any mandatory prepayment of the Credit Facility Obligations shall be applied as follows:

(i)    first, on a pro rata basis to the payment of outstanding Loans and the payment of any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawings;

(ii)    second, on a pro rata basis to the Cash Collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit;

(iii)    third, on a pro rata basis to the payment of all other amounts then due and payable to the Lender Parties; and

31

(iv)    fourth, any amount remaining may be retained by the Company.

(d)    Subject to Section 2.7(e), all mandatory prepayments hereunder shall be made at par and without premium.

(e)    Upon any such mandatory prepayment of the Loans, as applicable, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on a pro rata basis, (i) all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, (ii) all accrued fees to the date of such prepayment corresponding to the amount being prepaid and (iii) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, all amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 as a result of such prepayment.

(f)    In the event that any Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized pursuant to the terms hereof in an amount at least equal to the then-outstanding Available Amount thereof, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the termination of such Letter of Credit promptly following the date on which such Cash Collateralization occurs.

(g)    In no event shall any prepayment or Cash Collateralization be funded from the proceeds of any Loan.

2.8    Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a)    The Company may elect from time to time to convert SOFR Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of SOFR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, unless the Company pays any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 on the conversion date. The Company may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 3^rd U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a SOFR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b)    Any SOFR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Company giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the definition of term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan; provided that no SOFR Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion, not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if the Company shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2.8(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(c)    If any Lender determines in good faith that compliance by such Lender with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order applicable to such Lender has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge

32

interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR,, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Company through the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all affected SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by such Lender as described above relates to a SOFR Loan then being requested by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.8(a), the Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.16, to rescind such request as to all Lenders by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which such Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).

2.9    Limitations on SOFR Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of SOFR Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the SOFR Loans comprising each SOFR Tranche shall be equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, other than any conversions or continuations in the full principal amount of an applicable Loan and (b)  no more than 8 SOFR Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.10     Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a)    Each SOFR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)    Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)    (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan, Revolving L/C Advance or Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 plus 2% or (y) in the case of any Revolving L/C Advance or any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan, Revolving L/C Advance or any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing or any Commitment Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d)    Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.11    Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)    Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day, but excluding the last day), except that with

33

respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the rate set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “ABR”, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day, but excluding the last day). The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of each determination of Adjusted Term SOFR. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or Adjusted Term SOFR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lender Parties in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section  2.10(a).

2.12    Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.20, if prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

(a)    the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(b)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that Adjusted Term SOFR determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (i) any SOFR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to SOFR Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any outstanding SOFR Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further SOFR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Company have the right to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans. Subject to Section 2.20, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

2.13    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a)    Each borrowing by the Company from the Lenders, and subject to Section 2.14, each payment by the Company on account of any Commitment Fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders.

(b)    Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders. Any Loans repaid or prepaid may be re-borrowed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The amount of each optional prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be applied in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.6(a).

34

(c)    All payments (including prepayments, but excluding payments made pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i)) to be made by the Company hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, at the Funding Office (or by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent Account, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Administrative Agent), in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender Party promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender Party pursuant to Section 8.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the SOFR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a SOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.13(d) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within 3 Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Company.

(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Company prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Company hereunder that the Company will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Company within 3 Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Company.

2.14    Requirements of Law.

(a)    If any Lender Party shall have determined in good faith that any Change in Law:

(i)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender Party; or

35

(ii)    shall impose on such Lender Party any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender Party (other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.15),

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender Party, by an amount that such Lender Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans, issuing Letters of Credit or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14(a), it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)    If any Lender Party shall have determined in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender Party’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender Party or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender Party to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender Party to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Company shall pay to such Lender Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender Party or such corporation for such reduction.

(c)    A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 submitted by any Lender Party to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14, the Company shall not be required to compensate any Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any amounts incurred more than 9 months prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Company of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 9-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.15    Taxes.

(a)    Except as required by law, all payments made by the Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future Other Taxes or Taxes now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income Taxes (including branch profits) and franchise Taxes (imposed in lieu of net income Taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing

such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent, or such Lender Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded Taxes (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party hereunder, (i) the Company or other withholding agent, as applicable, shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and (ii) the amounts so payable by the Company to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required reductions of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15), the Administrative Agent and such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have been entitled to receive had no such reduction or withholding been required; provided that the Company shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender Party with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender Party’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.15(d) or (e), (ii) that are United States federal withholding Taxes that would be imposed on amounts payable to such Lender Party (A) as of the date hereof, in the case of any Lender Party that is a Lender Party as of the date hereof, (B) in the case of Lender Party that becomes a Lender Party after the date hereof, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender Party becomes a Lender Party, or (C) at the time such Lender Party designates a new lending office, except that, with respect to the preceding clauses (B) and (C), this clause (ii) shall not apply, to the extent that such Lender Party or such Lender Party’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office or assignment, as applicable, to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) or (iii) imposed pursuant to FATCA.

(b)    In addition, the Company shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for Other Taxes, to the extent the Company has not already reimbursed a Lender for such amounts pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15(a).

(c)    Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter the Company shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender Party, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Company or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent showing payment thereof. If the Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party as a result of any such failure.

(d)    Each Lender Party (or Transferee) that is not properly treated as a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8EXP or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (which U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY shall be accompanied by all documentation contemplated by that form), or, (i) 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 B-1 or Exhibit B-4 and a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all

37

payments by the Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W 8BEN-E, a Form of Exemption Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, U.S. Internal Revenue Service 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 statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Each Lender Party (or Transferee) that is properly treated as a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the Company) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent version thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender Party (or Participant, as the case may be), certifying that such Lender Party (or Participant, as the case may be) is a United States Person and is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax in respect to all payments under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender Party on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Lender Party shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender Party. Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Company at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose) or otherwise to comply with the requirements of any exemption from U.S. federal withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15(d), no Lender Party shall be required to take any action or deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.15(d) that such Lender Party is not legally able to take or deliver; provided that any Lender Party that is a Lender Party as of the Closing Date shall be required to comply with the first sentence or second sentence, as applicable, of this Section 2.15(d) as of the Closing Date.

(e)    Any Lender Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such other 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; provided that such Lender Party is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender Party’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender Party.

(f)    If the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Company, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be

38

required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) 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. This Section 2.15(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

(g)    If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or Lender Party under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or Lender Party 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), the Administrative Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Administrative Agent or Lender Party has complied with the Administrative Agent’s or Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h)    Without limiting the provisions of Sections 2.15(a) through (h) above, each Lender Party shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Company and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, against any and all Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender Party (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Company and the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Company or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender Party to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender Party to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.15(d), (e) or (h). Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.15(i).

(i)    On or before the date Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch (or any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Company two duly executed originals of either (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY evidencing its agreement with the Company to be treated as a United States Person, with the effect that, in either case, the Company will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding tax.

(j)    The agreements in this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan, Loan Document, or all other Credit Facility Obligations.

39

2.16    Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of SOFR Loans after the Company has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Company in making any prepayment of or conversion from SOFR Loans after the Company has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment or assignment of SOFR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) any rescission of any notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.6(b), including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 submitted to the Company by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender Party agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14 or 2.15(a) with respect to such Lender Party, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender Party) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender Party, cause such Lender Party and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.17 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Company or the rights of any Lender Party pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(a).

2.18    Replacement of Lenders. The Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, be permitted to replace with an Eligible Assignee any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(a), (b) is a Defaulting Lender, (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, (d) provides a notice to the Company that such Lender requests a conversion of SOFR Loans to ABR Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(c) or (e) objects to a prospective Qualified Owner (whether on the basis that such prospective Qualified Owner’s direct or indirect ownership of Capital Stock in the Company would violate the “know your customer” and anti-money laundering policies of such Lender or otherwise); provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirements of Law, (ii) in the case of clause (c), no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement and the replacement Lender shall have consented to the amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver to which the replaced Lender did not consent, (iii) in the case of clause (a) or (d), prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.17 that had the result of eliminating the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(a) or the conversion of SOFR Loans to ABR Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(a), (iv) the applicable Eligible Assignee shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender under the Loan Documents on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) in the case of clauses (a) and (c), the Company shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.16 if any SOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the applicable Eligible Assignee shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to comply with the provisions of Section 9.4 applicable to assignors (provided that the Company shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to in Section 9.4(b)(ii)(B)), (viii) in the case of clause (a), until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Company shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party shall have against the replaced Lender.

40

2.19    Defaulting Lenders.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law:

(i)    Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted to the extent set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”; provided that a Defaulting Lender shall retain its voting rights where its outstanding Revolving Commitments or Revolving Extensions of Credit are being extended or increased, where payments of outstanding interest and principal are being reduced or waived, or where the applicable interest rate thereon is being reduced or waived;

(ii)    Subject to Section 2.19(a)(iv), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender pro rata to the Issuing Banks hereunder; third, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any 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; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and participations in Letters of Credit in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Lender Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any participations in any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans or participations in any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawings are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

41

(iii)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or Revolving L/C Fee pursuant to Section 2.4(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or Revolving L/C Fee pursuant to Section 2.4(b) that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(iv)    With respect to any fees payable pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or Revolving L/C Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.4(b) not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Company shall (A) pay to each non-defaulting Revolving Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Revolving L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such non-defaulting Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (vii) below, (B) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(v)    If the Company, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Revolving Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Revolving Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations of the other Revolving Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments, whereupon such Revolving Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(vi)    If a consent, waiver or vote of all Lenders is required for any action under the Loan Documents, or the consent or waiver of a Defaulting Lender is required pursuant to Section 2.19(a)(i) or 9.1, then an affirmative consent, waiver or vote of the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed given if such Defaulting Lender does not provide a written response within 20 days after the date of a written notice to the Defaulting Lender requesting such vote or consent.

(vii)    All or any part of any Defaulting Lender’s participation in Revolving L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the non-defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any such non-defaulting Revolving Lender (after giving effect to any such reallocation) to exceed such non-defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 9.14, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claims of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-defaulting Revolving Lender as a result of such non-defaulting Revolving Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

42

(viii)    So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied, that it will have no Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender after giving effect thereto.

(ix)    To the extent that any Issuing Bank receives notice in writing from any Lender that such Lender does not intend to comply with its funding obligations, it shall promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any right of set-off, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.19 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 and the Lender Parties and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Credit Facility Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each Lender Party and its respective Affiliates under this Section 2.19(b) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender Party or their respective Affiliates may have.

2.20    Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Compounded SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

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

(c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lender Parties of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark

43

Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.20(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.20, 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 or any selection, 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 to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.20.

(d)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of SOFR Loans or a conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

2.21    New Revolving Facility. Subject to Section 2.22:

(a)    The Company may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request, after the date hereof and prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, (x) new commitments in respect of a revolving credit facility (any such new commitments, the “New Revolving Commitments”, any letter of credit issued thereunder, a “New Revolving Letter of Credit”, any such new revolving loan facility, a “New Revolving Facility” and any advance made by a Lender thereunder, a “New Loan”) or (y) an increase in the Commitments under the Revolving Facility (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility Date”) on which the Company proposes that the New Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than three Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee and each Issuing Bank (which shall be an Acceptable Issuing Bank) (each, a “New Revolving Lender” and a “New Issuing Bank”, respectively) to whom the Company proposes any portion of such New Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase be allocated and the amounts of such allocations;

44

provided that the Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such New Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase in its sole discretion and any Lender or Issuing Bank approached to provide all or a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase, New Revolving Commitments or the New Revolving Letters of Credit, as applicable, may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase, New Revolving Commitment or a New Revolving Letter of Credit. Such Revolving Commitment Increase or New Revolving Commitments (as applicable) shall become effective as of such Incremental Revolving Facility Date; provided that (i) each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.22 shall have been satisfied or waived (in accordance with Section 9.1); (ii) the amount of any requested New Revolving Facility or Revolving Commitment Increase (as applicable) shall be an amount equal to at least $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any Revolving Commitment Increase or New Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Company, each New Revolving Lender and New Issuing Bank (as the case may be) and the Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Revolving Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.15; (iv) any New Revolving Commitments shall have a final maturity date equal to or later than the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; (v) any New Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitment Increase will require no scheduled amortization prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; and (vi) other terms of any New Revolving Facility, to the extent not substantially consistent with the Revolving Facility (taken as a whole), shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, and shall constitute the same tranche.

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Company’s notice of each Incremental Revolving Facility Date and in respect thereof the Revolving Commitment Increase, the New Revolving Commitments, any New Revolving Lender and any New Issuing Bank.

(d)    Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.21; provided that no such amendments in respect of the matters set forth in Section 9.1(a)(i)-(x) that alter the rights of affected Lenders shall be entered into pursuant to this clause (d) without the consent of the affected Lenders specified therein.

SECTION 3.    LETTERS OF CREDIT

46

3.1    Revolving L/C Commitment.

(a)    Revolving L/C Commitment.

(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 3.1, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving L/C Availability Period, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, and to amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 3.1(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in such Letters of Credit and any drawings thereunder; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to make any Revolving L/C Credit Extension, and no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if, as of the date of such Revolving L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, (y) the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (z) the Revolving L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed its Revolving L/C Commitment.

(ii)    Letters of Credit shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments.

(iii)    Each Letter of Credit (A) shall be denominated in Dollars, (B) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance or such later date as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank (or, in the case of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit, 12 months after the current expiration date) and (y) the Revolving L/C Expiration Date and (C) be issued subject to “Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits” (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce, Publication No. 600 or “International Standby Practices 1998”, International Chamber of Commerce, Publication No. 590, as mutually agreed between the Company and the applicable Issuing Bank.

(iv)    No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirements of Law.

(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Revolving L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Revolving L/C Application must be received by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least 3 Business Days (or such shorter period as such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. Subject to the final sentence of this Section 3.1(b)(i), in the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Revolving L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

47

(E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably request. Subject to the final sentence of this Section 3.1(b)(i), in the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Revolving L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); and (3) the nature of the proposed amendment. Additionally and subject to the final sentence of this Section 3.1(b)(i), the Company shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment as such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall not unreasonably delay the issuance of a Letter of Credit or unreasonably reject any provisions reasonably requested by the Company to be modified in the Revolving L/C Application or Revolving L/C Documents in order to be not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Revolving L/C Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Revolving L/C Application from the Company and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such Issuing Bank of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)    If the Company so requests in any applicable Revolving L/C Application, the applicable Issuing Bank may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit shall permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each 12-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (it being understood that each Issuing Bank shall be entitled to give such notice of non-renewal to the extent of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as of the date on which it is entitled to give such notice of non-renewal). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Revolving L/C Expiration Date; provided that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if a Bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

48

(c)    Drawings and Reimbursement; Funding of Participations.

(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof, and such Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. If such Issuing Bank notifies the Company of any payment by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such payment, the Company shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day; provided that if such notice is not provided to the Company prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such payment date, then the Company shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 2^nd Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of such Letter of Credit. If the Company fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, such failure shall not be a considered a Default or an Event of Default hereunder and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such payment date, the amount of the Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, subject to Section 3.1(c)(iii), the Company shall be deemed to have requested Loans to be disbursed under the Revolving Facility on such payment date in an amount equal to such Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing, without regard to the minimum and multiples for an ABR Loan specified in this Agreement. Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.1(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)    Each Revolving Lender (including each Revolving Lender acting as an Issuing Bank) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s office set forth in Section 9.2 in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the relevant Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to Section 3.1(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be made to the Company in such amount as an ABR Loan. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with the instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by such Issuing Bank (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by such Issuing Bank; provided that, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Administrative Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, any funds advanced pursuant to this Section 3.1(c)(ii) shall constitute Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii)    If a Payment Event of Default or Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the relevant reimbursement is due pursuant to

49

Section 3.1(c)(i), the relevant Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing shall not be refinanced with Loans, and shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest thereon at the default interest rate pursuant to Section 2.10(c) then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility). In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing and shall constitute a Revolving L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.1.

(iv)    Until each Revolving Lender funds its Loans or Revolving L/C Advance to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.

(v)    Each Revolving Lender’s obligations to make Loans or Revolving L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 3.1(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Loans or Revolving L/C Advances pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) is subject to no Bankruptcy Event of Default or Payment Event of Default having occurred which is continuing. No such funding of a participation in any Letter of Credit shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)    If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 by the time specified in Section 3.1(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (exclusive of interest and fees as aforesaid) shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Loan or Revolving L/C Advance, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.1(c) shall be prima facie evidence of such amounts absent manifest error.

(d)    Repayment of Participations.

(i)    If, at any time after an Issuing Bank has made payment in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any Revolving

50

Lender its Revolving L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 3.1(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving L/C Advance was outstanding) in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.19 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this Section 3.1(d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Credit Facility Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)    Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any term or provision thereof, any Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)    any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

51

(v)    any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Credit Facility Obligations of the Company in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company.

(f)    Inspection by Company. The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(g)    Role of Issuing Bank. Each Revolving Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any document. None of the applicable Issuing Bank, any Agent Indemnitee nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Revolving L/C Application. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable Issuing Bank, any Agent Indemnitee nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.1(e); provided that, notwithstanding anything in such clauses to the contrary, the Company may have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Company to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Company which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final nonappealable judgment were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(h)    Inconsistency with Revolving L/C Application. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Revolving L/C Application or any other Revolving L/C Documents, the terms hereof shall control.

(i)    Reporting. Not later than the 3^rd Business Day following the last day of each week (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree), each

52

Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Company to such Issuing Bank during such month. If any Issuing Bank ceases to be an Acceptable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank promptly (in no event later than two (2) Business Days) notify the Company thereof.

(j)    Replacement of Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time, or may assign all or any portion of its Letters of Credit to a successor Issuing Bank (which, in the case of a replacement of or assignment, the successor Issuing Bank shall be an Acceptable Issuing Bank) by written agreement among (i) the Company, (ii) the successor Issuing Bank and (iii) in the case of an assignment, the assigning Issuing Bank, or in the case of a replacement, if at such time the Issuing Bank being replaced is an Acceptable Issuing Bank, the replaced Issuing Bank (as applicable), and upon notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no written agreement shall be required by the assigning Issuing Bank or the replaced Issuing Bank in clause (iii) if the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank is no longer an Acceptable Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or assignment shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees and all other amounts payable hereunder, if any, accrued for the account of the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.4. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or assignment, the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter. After the replacement of or assignment by an Issuing Bank hereunder, (A) the Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to replace the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank by a Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit issued by the successor Issuing Bank and in the relevant amounts, and (B) the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or assignment, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit to the extent replaced or so assigned.

SECTION 4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lender Parties to enter into the Loan Documents and to make the Loans and issue the Letters of Credit, the Company hereby represents and warrants (as to itself and as to Parent (where specified)) on each date the representations and warranties contemplated herein are required to be made to the Agents and each Lender Party that:

53

including the granting of Liens pursuant to the Security Documents, and to borrow the Loans under this Agreement and to obtain other extensions of credit.

4.8    Intellectual Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries own, or have licensed or have rights to use, all material Intellectual Property currently used in their business as currently conducted, except

54

The Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. In performing its functions and duties under the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Secured Parties and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Lender Party) irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Collateral Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Financing Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

8.2    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3    Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)    No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, affiliates or controlling Persons 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 non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lender Parties 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 such Agent 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 the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender Party 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.

(b)    Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss

75

or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final non appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Loan Party to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

8.4    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email 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 Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Any Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Promissory Note as the owner thereof for all purposes, provided such payee’s rights are recorded in the Register, unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each 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, as applicable (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; provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. Each 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 Lender Parties and all future holders of the Loans.

8.5    Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender Party or the Company 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 any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the other Agent. Each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, as applicable (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such 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 Lender Parties.

8.6    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender Party and each Agent expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of its 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 the Company or any affiliate of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender Party (including with respect to any determination that applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering policies of any Lender Party are satisfied). Each Lender Party represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without

76

reliance upon any Agent or any Lender Party, 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 Company and its affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder or issue Letters of Credit, as applicable, and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender Party, 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 Company and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lender Parties by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Company or any affiliate of the Company that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

8.7    Indemnification.

(a)    The Lenders (other than any Lender solely in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to such Lender’s respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (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 Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee 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 non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)    Each of the Revolving Lenders agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank in its capacity solely as an Issuing Bank and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “L/C Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to such Revolving Lender’s respective Revolving Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Revolving 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 L/C Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the issuances of any Letters of Credit or any obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such L/C Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Revolving 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 non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such L/C Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

77

(c)    The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.8    Agents in their Individual Capacity. Any 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 it were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Issuing Bank”, “Issuing Banks”, “Lender” and “Lenders” (in each case to the extent applicable) shall include such Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9    Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign as Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the other Agent, the Lender Parties and the Company. 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 Lender Parties, which successor agent shall (unless a Payment Event of Default or Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (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. Subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement, if the Collateral Agent should resign as Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent at the direction of the Required Lenders and as agreed by the Company (other than if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of any Loan Party, any other Agent or any Lender Party. The former Collateral Agent shall turn over and deliver to the new Collateral Agent any Collateral in its possession. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

8.10    Removal of Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may by notice to the Company and such Person, and subject to the reasonable approval of the Company, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the reasonable approval of the Company, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder, which successor agent shall (unless a Payment Event of Default or Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date 5 Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed; provided that if no replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed, 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 pursuant to this Section 8.10).

78

8.11    Joint Lead Arrangers; Co-Arrangers. None of the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Co-Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.

8.12    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Revolving L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Revolving L/C Obligations and all other Credit Facility Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lender Parties and the Agents under Section 8.7) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(c)    any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lender Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section  8.7.

8.13    Certain ERISA Matters. Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date of becoming a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date of becoming a Lender party hereto to the date of ceasing to be a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Agents, any Joint Lead Arranger and any Co-Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(a)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement;

(b)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement;

79

(c)    (i) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (ii) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (iv) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(d)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

In addition, unless either (x) clause (a) of this Section 8.13 is true with respect to a Lender or (y) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 8.13, such Lender further (1) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (2) 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 not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Lender, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

8.14    Loan Documents. Each Lender Party (and each Person that becomes a Lender Party hereunder pursuant to Section 9.4) hereby (a) authorizes and directs each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents (including any Intercreditor Agreement) to which it is a party on behalf of such Lender Party and agrees that such Agent may take such actions on its behalf as are contemplated by the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) authorizes and directs each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute any accession agreement in accordance with an Intercreditor Agreement to provide the Lender Parties the benefits of secured parties for all purposes under the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) agrees to be bound by all of the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement applicable to a Lender Party.

8.15    Erroneous Payments.

(a)    If the Administrative Agent (i) notifies a Lender Party, or any Person (other than the Company or any other Loan Party) who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (any such Lender Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 8.15(b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment

80

Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.15 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)    Without limiting Section 8.15(a), each Lender Party or any Person (other than the Company or any other Loan Party) who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns) hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i)    it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)    such Lender Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.15(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.15(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.15(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)    Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 8.15(a).

81

(d)    (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was not made with funds provided by the Company (and the Company has not in fact made such payment, prepayment or repayment) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.15(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and such Lender), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Promissory Notes evidencing such Loans to the Company or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Promissory Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)    Subject to Section 9.4 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Company or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

82

(e)    The Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Credit Facility Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Credit Facility Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Credit Facility Obligations owed by the Company or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.15 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Credit Facility Obligations of the Company relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Credit Facility Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Company or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)    Each of the obligations, agreements and waivers of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under this Section 8.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Credit Facility Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(h)    Except as expressly provided in this Section 8.15, (x) none of the Company or any of the other Loan Party has acquired or incurred (or will acquire or incur) any obligations under this Section 8.15 and (y) the rights and obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties shall not be affected by this Section 8.15.

SECTION 9.    MISCELLANEOUS

9.1    Amendments and Waivers.

(a)    Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

(iv)    amend the definition of Required Lenders or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders shall be made only with the written consent of all Lenders;

(b)    [Reserved].

(c)    [Reserved].

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9.1(a), this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company (i) to correct any typographical errors, drafting mistakes or other similar mistakes that do not modify the intended rights and obligations of the parties hereto or (ii) to provide for, evidence or effectuate actions that are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to deliver to the Lenders a copy of each amendment effected pursuant to this Section 9.1(d).

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders) specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, the Company may make one or more loan modification offers to all the Lenders that would, if and to the extent accepted by any such Lender, (x) extend the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, extend any amortization of the Loans and Commitments under the Revolving Facility and/or change the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable (provided that any changes consisting of increases to the Applicable Margin or fees shall not take effect prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date) with respect to the Loans and Commitments (in each case solely with respect to the Loans and Commitments of accepting Lenders in respect of which an acceptance is delivered) and (y) treat the Loans and Commitments so modified as a new “Revolving Facility” for all purposes under this Agreement; provided that (i) such loan modification offer is made to each Lender under this Agreement on the same terms and subject to the same procedures as are applicable to all other Lenders under this Agreement (which procedures in any case shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) no loan modification shall affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Agents or any Issuing Bank, without such Person’s prior written consent.

(f)    In connection with any such loan modification, the Company and each accepting Lender (and, to the extent applicable, each Issuing Bank) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such agreements and other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the applicable loan modification offer and the terms and conditions thereof, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Company and the Administrative Agent and shall be effective only with respect to the applicable Loans and Commitments of Lenders that shall have accepted the relevant loan modification offer (and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments as to which any such Lender has accepted the loan

85

modification offer)) to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the existence of, and to give effect to the terms and conditions of, the applicable loan modification (including the addition of such modified Loans and/or Commitments as a “Revolving Facility” hereunder). No Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to accept any loan modification offer, and may reject any such offer in its sole discretion. On the effective date of any loan modification applicable to the Revolving Facility, the Company shall prepay any Loans outstanding on such effective date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Percentage of a Revolving Lender in respect of the Revolving Facility arising from any nonratable loan modification to the Revolving Commitments under this Section 9.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification referred to above shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1(c) with respect to the Loan Parties.

9.4    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder other than in accordance with Section 6.1 or with the consent of each Lender Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent, or in accordance with Section 6.1, 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 9.4.

(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.4(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) 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 of:

(A)    the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (1) no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee and (2) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)    the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Commitment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank, or an Approved Fund; and

(C)    the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank, or an Approved Fund.

(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, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank, 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

87

Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Company 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, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank or Approved Funds, if any;

(B)    (1) the assigning Lender and the Assignee party 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 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that only one such fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in connection with simultaneous assignments by a Lender to two or more Approved Funds, and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the Assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.4, “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 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 Section 9.4(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 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.4(c).

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, 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 amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender, the amount of any principal

88

or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender and any amount received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, absent manifest error. Any assignment or transfer of a Loan shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. Ownership of an interest is required to be reflected in a book entry, whether or not physical securities are issued.

(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 this Section 9.4(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section 9.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.4(b)(v).

(c)    (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Loan Party or any Affiliate of the Company) (each such bank or entity, 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 and (C) the Company, the Administrative Agent, each 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. 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 the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.4(c)(ii) the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.4(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.19(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 9.19(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 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 Company’s prior written consent. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless such Participant complies with Sections 2.15(a), (d), (e) and (f). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.19(b) as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.19(b) as though it were a Lender.

(iii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated

89

interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that, except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.4(c)(iii), no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is 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 and Section 1.163-5(b)(1) of the proposed Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Company 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 Commitments, Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(iv)    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank, and this Section 9.4 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.

(v)    The Company, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Promissory Notes to any Lender requiring Promissory Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 9.4(c) above.

9.5    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent. The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Company, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender Party or Agent shall request manually signed counterpart signatures to any Loan Document, the Company hereby agrees to use its reasonable endeavors to provide such manually signed signature pages as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 30 days of such request or such longer period as the requesting party and the Company may mutually agree).

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents (including in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any work-out or restructuring transaction), including the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel to the Lender Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and special counsel for each relevant specialty (and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for each group of affected Persons that are similarly situated taken as a whole), (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender Party and each Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration or enforcement of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify and hold each Lender Party and each Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, trustees, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than any taxes except for such taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement and performance of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Company or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the Company agrees not to assert and hereby waives all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 9.16 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor and, to the extent any other Loan Document provides for a similar indemnification obligation by the Company, shall be calculated without double counting. Statements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.16 shall be submitted to General Counsel (Telephone No. ), at the address of the Company set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The agreements in this Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Credit Facility Obligations.

9.17    Confidentiality.

(a)    Each Agent and each Lender Party agree to keep confidential all Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Section 9.17, “Confidential Information” means information delivered (or created by or for, with the use or reference to “Confidential Information”) to any Agent or any Lender Party by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is proprietary in nature whether or

94

not marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, as being confidential information of the Company; provided that such term does not include information that (i) was publicly known prior to the time of such disclosure, (ii) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, or any Person acting on such Agent’s or Lender Party’s behalf, (iii) otherwise becomes known to such Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, other than through disclosure by or on behalf of the Company from a source without a duty or other obligation of confidentiality to the Company or its Affiliates or (iv) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, under Section 5.1(b) or Section 6.5 hereof that are otherwise publicly available and not otherwise in violation of this Section 9.17.

(b)    Each Agent and Lender Party will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Agent or Lender Party in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Agent or Lender Party (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be no less stringent than the degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information), provided that such Agent or Lender Party may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its or its affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment pursuant to the Loan Documents), (ii) its auditors (on a confidential basis), and its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.17, (iii) an Agent or any other Lender Party, (iv) any prospective or actual Transferee, any direct or indirect counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any Swap Agreement, or any professional advisor to the above parties (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.17), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Loans of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be and remains bound by the provisions of this Section 9.17), (vi) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, including any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Lender Party, (vii) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirements of Law, (viii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Lender Party’s investment portfolio, (ix) subject to an agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.17, to any credit insurance provider relating the Company or the Credit Facility Obligations and any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the Revolving Facility, (x) on a confidential basis, the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Revolving Facility, (xi) any other Governmental Authority to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (A) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Agent or Lender Party, (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (C) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding to which such Agent or Lender Party is a party, or (D) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Agent or Lender Party may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies of such Agent or such Lender Party’s Loans, as applicable, and the other Loan Documents or (xii) if agreed in writing by the Company in its sole discretion. In addition, the Agents and the Lender Parties may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents or any Lender Party (on a confidential basis) in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

(c)    Each Lender Party and the Agents acknowledge that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include Confidential Information concerning the Company and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of Confidential Information and that it will handle such Confidential Information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws.

95

(d)    In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Lender Party or Agent is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks or otherwise) which is different from the terms of this Section 9.17, the terms of this Section 9.17 shall, as between such Lender Party or Agent and the Company, supersede the terms of any such other confidentiality undertaking.

9.18    Scope of Liability.

(a)    Except as set forth in this Section 9.18, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or instrument executed by any Loan Party pursuant hereto or thereto, none of the Lender Parties shall have any claims with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder against the any of the Company’s Affiliates, any present or future holder (whether direct or indirect) of any Capital Stock in the Company (other than the Capital Stock of the Company held by Parent), or, in the case of any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Loan Parties), shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives, controlling Persons, executives or agents (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Persons”), such claims against such Non-Recourse Persons (including as may arise by operation of law) being expressly waived hereby; provided that the foregoing provision of this Section 9.18 shall not (i) constitute a waiver, release or discharge (or otherwise impair the enforceability) of any of the Credit Facility Obligations, or of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the same shall continue (subject to clause (iv) below, but without personal liability of the Non-Recourse Persons) until fully paid, discharged, observed, or performed; (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any lien or security interest created pursuant to any Security Documents (or otherwise impair the ability of any Secured Party to realize or foreclose upon any Collateral); (iii) limit or restrict the right of any Agent or Lender Party (or any assignee, beneficiary or successor to any of them) to name any Loan Party as a defendant in any action or suit for a judicial foreclosure or for the exercise of any other remedy under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for injunction or specific performance, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment shall be enforced against any Non-Recourse Person, except as set forth in other provisions of this Section 9.18; (iv) in any way limit or restrict any right or remedy of any Agent or Lender Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) with respect to, and each of the Non-Recourse Persons shall remain fully liable to the extent that it would otherwise be liable for its own actions with respect to, any actual fraud (which shall not include innocent or negligent misrepresentation), willful misrepresentation, fraudulent conveyance or misappropriation of revenues, profits or proceeds from or of any Collateral under any Security Documents, that should or would have been paid as provided herein or paid or delivered to any Agent or Lender Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) towards any payment required under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (v) affect or diminish in any way or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any express obligation, covenant, or agreement made by any of the Non-Recourse Persons (or any security granted by the Non-Recourse Persons in support of the obligations of any person) under or in connection with any Loan Document (or as security for the Credit Facility Obligations).

(b)    The limitations on recourse set forth in this Section 9.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of all Commitments and the full payment and performance of the Credit Facility Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

96

9.19    Adjustments; Set-off.

(a)    Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender Party or to the Lender Parties, if any Lender Party (a “Benefited Lender Party”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Credit Facility Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment or participation made pursuant to the Loan Documents), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(e) or (f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender Party, if any, in respect of Credit Facility Obligations owing to such other Lender Party, such Benefited Lender Party shall purchase for cash from the other Lender Parties a participating interest in such portion of Credit Facility Obligations owing to each such other Lender Party, or shall provide such other Lender Parties with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender Party to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lender Parties; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender Party, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. This Section 9.19(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents and Lender Parties provided by applicable law, each Agent and Lender Party shall have the right, without notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Credit Facility Obligation becoming due and payable and not paid by the Company (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Credit Facility Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Agent, Lender Party, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Company. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Company after any such application made by such Lender Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

(c)    The rights of each Agent and Lender Party and its respective Affiliates under this Section 9.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender Party or its respective Affiliates may have.

9.20    Releases of Guarantees and Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender Party except as expressly required by Section 9.1) to, and to instruct the Collateral Agent to, take any action requested by the Company having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 9.1 or (ii) in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

9.21    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):

97

(a)    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.

(b)    As used in this Section 9.21, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i)    “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii)    “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(A)    a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(B)    a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(C)    a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(iii)    “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv)    “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

9.22    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Company is made to any Agent or any Lender Party, or any Agent or any Lender Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender (other than any Lender solely in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) severally agrees to pay to the

98

Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Credit Facility Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

9.23    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Credit Facility Obligations hereunder.
