If since the beginning of any applicable period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into an Obligor or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.8, then for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement, including the determination of any financial ratio or test or whether the Payment Conditions are satisfied, such Specified Transactions shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.8.

Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, Term SOFR, Daily SOFR, EURIBOR or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may designate. 75 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit. (d) Issuance of Letters of Credit. (i) Request for Issuance. The Borrowers’ Agent shall notify the Agent of a requested Letter of Credit at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may agree) prior to the proposed issuance date.

(iii) No Extensions or Amendment. Except in the case of Letters of Credit subject to evergreen or automatic renewal provisions, the Agent shall not be obligated to cause the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to extend, renew or amend any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto unless the requirements of this Section 2.4 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued. (e) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. Each Borrower that is the account party of any Letter of Credit agrees to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for any draw under such Letter of Credit within one Business Day (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, in each case in its reasonable discretion) after notice of such drawing is received by such Borrower, together with accrued interest thereon from the date of such drawing at the Base Rate (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars), at the Canadian Prime Rate (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars), at the SONIA Rate (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Sterling) and at the Foreign Base Rate (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency (other than Sterling)), and to pay the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to or reasonably incurred by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against such Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person. All payments required under this Section 2.4(e) shall be made in the currency in which the applicable Letter of Credit was issued; provided, however, that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.2 that such payment be financed with, or, in the event not so requested on such date, each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower shall constitute a request by such Borrower to the Agent for, a Borrowing in Dollars of a Base Rate Loan or a Borrowing in Canadian Dollars of a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, in the amount of such drawing (or, with respect to Letters of Credit issued in any Alternative Currency, a Borrowing in Dollars of a Base Rate Loan in the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of such drawing) and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment will be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable. 87 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of the Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender under this Section 2.4(f). (iii) Exoneration.

(iv) Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuer. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit the Borrowers’ rights, if any, with respect to any Letter of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of the letter of credit application and related documents executed by and between any Borrower and such Letter of Credit Issuer or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Letter of Credit Issuer.

The Borrowers hereby authorize and direct any Letter of Credit Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the “Account Party” in the Letters of Credit and to deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letters of Credit, and to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letters of Credit or the applications therefor. 88 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(g) Supporting Letter of Credit. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(b) and Section 11.1, any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the Termination Date, then upon the Termination Date each applicable Borrower shall (i) deposit with the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding, a standby letter of credit (a “Supporting Letter of Credit”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in an amount equal to 102% (or such lesser amount as the Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree, but not less than 100%) of the sum of the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be drawn plus any fees and expenses then due with such Letter of Credit, under which Supporting Letter of Credit the Agent is entitled to draw amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders for payments to be made by the Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer and such Revolving Credit Lenders under such Letter of Credit and any fees and expenses then due or to become due with such Letter of Credit, or (ii) cash collateralize each Letter of Credit then outstanding, in an amount equal to 102% (or such lesser amount as the Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree) of the sum of the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be drawn plus any fees and expenses then due with such Letter of Credit, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Such Supporting Letter of Credit or cash collateral shall be held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit remaining outstanding. 2.5 Incremental Facility. (a) So long as no Specified Default exists or would arise therefrom, each applicable Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to request (i) an increase of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments or ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”) or (ii) one or more term loans (the “Incremental ABL Term Loans” and together with the Incremental Revolving Commitments, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities” and each, an “Incremental Facility”). Any request under this Section 2.5 shall specify, (A) in the case of a request for Incremental Revolving Commitments, whether the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments or the ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments (or a combination thereof) are requested to be increased and (B) in the case of a request for Incremental ABL Term Loans, (x) whether such loans will be made to a U.S. Borrower, a ROW Borrower, a Canadian Borrower and/or an ANZ Borrower (including in each case any Additional Borrower) and (y) the currency in which such loans will be denominated, which shall be Dollars (to the extent made to a U.S. Borrower), Dollars, Euros, Sterling or any other Alternative Currency (to the extent made to a ROW Borrower), Cdn. Dollars or Dollars (to the extent made to a Canadian Borrower) or Dollars, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars (to the extent made to an ANZ Borrower).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after giving effect to any new Incremental Facility, the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of the aggregate principal amount of any Incremental ABL Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the Available Incremental Amount at such time. The Borrowers may seek to obtain Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental ABL Term Loans from existing Lenders or any other Persons, as applicable (each, an “Incremental Facility Increase”), provided, however, that (A) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Facility Increase as a result of any such request by any of the Borrowers, and (B) any Additional Lender which is not an existing Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent and, in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). (b) Any Incremental ABL Term Loans (i) may not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of Holdings other than the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu or junior in right of (x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments and any corresponding existing Incremental ABL Term Loans, (ii) shall count against the applicable Borrowing Base, (iii) 89 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
shall not have a final maturity that is earlier than the Maturity Date (or, if later, the latest final maturity of any Extended Loans or any then-existing Incremental Facility), except for Incremental ABL Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to the greater of (A) $827,000,000 and (B) 7.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, (iv) may not be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Borrower or any Guarantor that do not also secure the Loans (other than, in the case of Incremental ABL Term Loans incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, proceeds of such Incremental ABL Term Loans that are subject to customary escrow or similar arrangements pending consummation of such Permitted Acquisition or other Investment), (v) may provide for commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees and margins and interest rates that may be agreed among the applicable Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental ABL Term Loans and (vi) shall otherwise be on terms as are reasonably acceptable to the Agent; provided that terms that are substantially consistent with, or not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Lenders than, the terms of the TLB Credit Agreement or this Agreement shall be deemed to be reasonably acceptable to the Agent. (c) Any Incremental Revolving Commitments (i) shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu or junior in right of (x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect prior to the Incremental Revolving Commitment Effective Date, (ii) may not be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Borrower or any Guarantor that do not also secure the Loans, (iii) may provide for commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees and margins and interest rates that may be agreed among the applicable Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments and (iv) shall otherwise be on terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the existing relevant Revolving Credit Commitments. (d) No Incremental Facility Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) The applicable Borrowers, the Agent, and any Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered a joinder to the Loan Documents (“Lender Joinder Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit I; (ii) The applicable Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Lenders and to the Agent as the applicable Borrowers, the Agent and such Additional Lenders shall agree; (iii) To the extent reasonably required by the Lenders providing the Incremental Facility Increase, the applicable Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent and the Lenders participating in the Incremental Facility Increase customary legal opinion(s) from counsel to the applicable Borrowers and dated such date; (iv) The Company shall deliver on the closing date of any Incremental Facility Increase a certificate certifying that (x) (other than with respect to an Incremental Facility Increase in connection with a Permitted Acquisition permitted hereunder or any other Investment not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, unless required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility Increase) the representations and warranties made by Holdings, each Borrower and each Guarantor contained herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such closing date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (y) no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing; and (v) The applicable Borrowers and Additional Lenders shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably have requested in order to effectuate the documentation of the foregoing. 90 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(e) (i) In the case of any Incremental Facility Increase constituting Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Effective Date”), and at such time (x) the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, (y) Schedule 1.1 shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Commitments of the Lenders and (z) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect any such Incremental Revolving Commitments. (ii) In the case of any Incremental Facility Increase, the Agent, the Additional Lenders and the Borrowers agree to enter into any amendment required to incorporate the addition of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental ABL Term Loans, the pricing of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental ABL Term Loans, the maturity date of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental ABL Term Loans and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the applicable Borrowers in connection therewith, including amendments to provide for the inclusion, as appropriate, of Additional Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders, amendments to permit purchases of Incremental ABL Term Loans by Holdings or any of its Affiliates (which shall be cancelled upon purchase by Holdings or any Subsidiary) (provided that such purchases by an Affiliate of Holdings other than a Subsidiary shall be subject to customary restrictions to be agreed with the Additional Lenders providing such Incremental ABL Term Loans and the Agent), and amendments to properly reflect the pari passu or junior right of payment or priority with respect to the Collateral (each an “Incremental Commitment Amendment”). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into such amendments. (f) In connection with the Incremental Facility Increases hereunder, the Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the applicable Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Agent, (x) repay applicable outstanding Revolving Loans of certain Lenders, and obtain applicable Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Additional Lenders), or (y) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Agent to the extent necessary so that the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Loans, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of their respective applicable Commitments (determined after giving effect to any increase in such applicable Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.5), and (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall pay to the applicable Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 5.4 in connection with any repayment required pursuant to the preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this Section 2.5, the Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Section 5.4 that the Borrowers would otherwise incur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the applicable Commitments. 2.6 Extension Amendments. (a) The applicable Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments (including any Extended Commitments), each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment” and any related Loans thereunder, “Existing Loans”; each Existing Commitment and related Existing Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Tranche”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Loans related to such Existing Commitments (any such Existing Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Commitments” and any related Existing Loans, “Extended Loans”, with the commitments of the Existing Tranche not so extended and any related Loans thereunder being referred to as “Non-Extended Commitments” and “Non-Extended Loans”, respectively) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.6; provided that (i) any such request shall be made by the applicable Borrowers to all Lenders with Existing Commitments with a like maturity date on a pro rata basis, and (ii) any Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived 91 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
by the applicable Borrowers. In order to establish any Extended Commitments, the Borrowers’ Agent shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established, which Extension Request may be modified, revoked, or revoked and reissued by the Borrowers’ Agent at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment. The terms of the Extended Commitments to be established pursuant to an Extension Request shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Commitment”), except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Commitments and (y)(A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Commitments and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, (I) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Extended Commitments and Non-Extended Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all such other outstanding Extended Commitments and Non-Extended Commitments, (II) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to relevant Commitments and the Revolving Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 12.2, and (III) no termination of Extended Commitments and no repayment of Extended Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by an at least pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding permanent reduction), as applicable, of all earlier maturing corresponding Non-Extended Commitments and Revolving Loans related to such earlier maturing corresponding Non-Extended Commitments (or all earlier maturing corresponding Non-Extended Commitments and Revolving Loans related to such corresponding Non-Extended Commitments shall otherwise be or have been terminated and repaid in full). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans or Existing Commitments of any Existing Tranche converted into Extended Loans or Extended Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Commitments shall constitute a separate class of Commitments from the Specified Existing Commitments and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date); provided that any Extended Commitments or Extended Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as part of any class of Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments and/or ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans, as applicable, established on or prior to the date of such Extension Amendment. (b) The Borrowers’ Agent shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Commitments converted into Extended Commitments shall notify the Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Commitments that it has elected to convert into Extended Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Specified Existing Commitments subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Commitments included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment into an Extended Commitment, such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically to all relevant Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Lender in respect of Letters of Credit under Section 2.4 and Swingline Loans under Section 2.3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the maturity date for Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the U.S. Swingline Lender, the ROW Swingline Lender, the Canadian Swingline Lender, the French Swingline Lender, the ANZ Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension). 92 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(c) Extended Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in Section 2.6(a), clauses (x) and (y), and which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.6(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 12.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Commitments established thereby) executed by the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 12.1 to any Section 2.6 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.6 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.6 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.6 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Borrowers, Guarantors and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.6 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 12.1; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (i) any Extended Commitment or Extended Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Borrower or Guarantor that does not also secure the Existing Tranches and (ii) so long as any Existing Tranches are outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Existing Tranches (other than Existing Tranches secured on a junior basis by the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which may be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on a pro rata basis (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for Existing Tranches than such Extended Commitments or Extended Loans). It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.6 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.6 Additional Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the applicable Borrowers shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agent as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with Section 2.6(a) (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Commitments shall, unless otherwise provided by the Extension Amendment, be established as a separate class of Commitments from the Specified Existing Commitments and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date) and (ii) if, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Commitments, such Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Loans (and related participations) and Existing Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Commitments to Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date. (e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the extension of its applicable Commitment on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the applicable Borrowers may, on notice to the Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, (i) replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 12.2 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the applicable Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the applicable Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide an applicable Commitment on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Revolving Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender 93 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (ii) upon notice to the Agent, to prepay the Loans and, at the applicable Borrowers’ option, terminate the applicable Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Section 4.3 and Section 5.4, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.6, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (x) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (y) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the applicable Borrowers shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender. (f) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Borrowers’ Agent, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Existing Commitment deemed to be an Extended Commitment under the applicable Extended Commitment tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date of such Extended Commitments; provided that (i) such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent at least 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent) prior to such Designation Date and (ii) no more than three Designation Dates may occur in any one-year period without the written consent of the Agent. Following a Designation Date, the Existing Commitments held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Commitments of the applicable Extended Commitment tranche, and any Existing Commitments held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Existing Commitments.” (g) With respect to all extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.6, (i) such extensions shall not constitute payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.3 and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the applicable Borrowers may at their election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the applicable Borrowers’ discretion and may be waived by the applicable Borrowers) of Existing Commitments of any or all applicable classes be extended. The Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.6 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 4.3, 4.7 and 13.12(b)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.6. 2.7 Refinancing Amendments. (a) The Borrowers’ Agent may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Agent (a “Refinancing Loan Request”), request (i) the establishment of one or more new classes of term loans under this Agreement (any such new class, “Refinancing Term Commitments”) or (ii) the establishment of one or more new classes of revolving commitments under this Agreement (any such new class, “Refinancing Revolving Commitments” and collectively with any Refinancing Term Commitments, “Refinancing Commitments”), in each case, established in exchange for, or to replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, as selected by the Borrowers’ Agent, any one or more then-existing class or classes of Loans or Commitments (with respect to a particular Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loan, such existing Loans or Commitments, “Refinanced Debt”), whereupon the Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of each such notice to each of the Lenders holding such proposed Refinanced Debt. (b) Any Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to Refinancing Term Commitments or any Refinancing Revolving Commitments made on a Refinancing Closing Date shall be designated a separate class of Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Refinancing Closing Date on which any Refinancing Term Commitments of any class are 94 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
effected, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.7, (i) each Refinancing Term Lender of such class shall make a term loan, severally, but not jointly or jointly and severally with the other Refinancing Term Lenders, to the applicable Borrowers (a “Refinancing Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Refinancing Term Commitment of such class and (ii) each Refinancing Term Lender of such class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Refinancing Term Commitment of such class and the Refinancing Term Loans of such class made pursuant thereto. On any Refinancing Closing Date on which any Refinancing Revolving Commitments of any class are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.7, (x) each Refinancing Revolving Lender of such class shall make its Refinancing Revolving Commitment available to the applicable Borrowers (when borrowed, a “Refinancing Revolving Loan” and collectively with any Refinancing Term Loan, a “Refinancing Loan”) and (y) each Refinancing Revolving Lender of such class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Refinancing Revolving Commitment of such class and the Refinancing Revolving Loans of such class made pursuant thereto. (c) Each Refinancing Loan Request from the Borrowers’ Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Revolving Commitments and identify the proposed Refinanced Debt with respect thereto. Refinancing Term Loans may be made, and Refinancing Revolving Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Refinancing Commitment, nor will the Borrowers have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Refinancing Commitment) or by any additional Lender (each such Additional Lender providing such Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Term Loan, a “Refinancing Revolving Lender” or “Refinancing Term Lender”, as applicable, and, collectively, “Refinancing Lenders”); provided that the Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Refinancing Term Loans or providing such Refinancing Revolving Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 12.2 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender. (d) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, and the Refinancing Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (a “Refinancing Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions, together with any other conditions set forth in the Refinancing Amendment: (i) after giving effect to such Refinancing Commitments, the conditions of Sections 9.2(a)(i) and 9.2(a)(ii) shall be satisfied (it being understood that all references to “the date of such extension of credit” or similar language in such Section 9.2(a) shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Refinancing Closing Date); (ii) each Refinancing Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 and not in an increment of $1,000,000 if such amount is equal to (x) the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt that is in the form of term loans or (y) the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt (or commitments) that is in the form of Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iii) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Refinanced Debt (plus the amount of unpaid accrued or capitalized interest and premiums thereon (including make-whole premiums, prepayment premiums, tender premiums and amounts required to be paid in connection with defeasance and satisfaction and discharge), underwriting discounts, original issue discount, defeasance costs, fees (including upfront fees), commissions and expenses). (e) The terms, provisions and documentation of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Term Commitments or the Refinancing Revolving Loans and Refinancing Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, of any class shall be as agreed between the Borrowers, the applicable Refinancing Lenders providing such Refinancing Commitments and the Agent (in the case of the Agent, only with respect to terms and provisions not otherwise specified in this Section 2.7 that adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Agent), and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not substantially identical to any class of term loans or 95 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

(H) shall have an Applicable Margin determined by the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Refinancing Revolving Lenders, and (I) shall not be subject to any guarantee by any person other than an Obligor and shall not include any borrower other than a Borrower hereunder. (f) Commitments in respect of Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall become additional Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Refinancing Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, each Refinancing Lender providing such Commitments and the Agent. The Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Obligor, agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the applicable Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.7, including, if applicable, amendments as deemed necessary by the Agent in its reasonable judgment to effect (i) any lien subordination and associated rights of the applicable Lenders to the extent any Refinancing Loans are to rank junior in right of security and (ii) that any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant does not benefit any term loan hereunder. The applicable Borrowers will use the proceeds, if any, of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Revolving Commitments in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, and shall permanently terminate applicable commitments under, substantially concurrently, the applicable Refinanced Debt. In the event any Refinancing Revolving Commitments extend beyond the Maturity Date, any applicable Refinancing Amendment may provide that the maturity date for Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the U.S. Swingline Lender, the ROW Swingline Lender, the Canadian Swingline Lender, the French Swingline Lender, the ANZ Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension). (g) Upon any Refinancing Closing Date on which Refinancing Revolving Commitments are effected through the establishment of a new class of revolving commitments pursuant to this Section 2.7, (i) if, on such date, there are any applicable Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall be prepaid from the proceeds of new Refinancing Revolving Loans under such new class of Refinancing Revolving Commitments in such amounts as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such Loans and all such related prepayments, all applicable Revolving Loans will be held by all applicable Lenders under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (including Lenders providing such Refinancing Revolving Commitments) ratably in accordance with their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to the establishment of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments), (ii) in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereunder in applicable Letters of Credit and applicable Swingline Loans held by each applicable Lender under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments so that each such Lender shares ratably in such participations in accordance with their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to the establishment of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments), (iii) each Refinancing Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iv) each Refinancing Revolving Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Refinancing Revolving Commitments and all matters relating thereto. 2.8 [Intentionally Omitted]. 2.9 Reserves. Other than with respect to Pari Passu Debt Reserves and Waterfall Priority Hedge Agreement Reserves (which shall be established and changed as set forth in the respective definitions thereof and not in accordance with this Section 2.9 (including any requirement that they be established or changed in the exercise of the Agent’s Reasonable Credit Judgment)), the Agent may establish Reserves or change any of the Reserves, in the exercise of its Reasonable Credit Judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reserves (other than Pari Passu Debt Reserves and Waterfall Priority Hedge Agreement Reserves) shall not be established or changed after the Closing Date except upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Borrowers. The Agent will be available during such period to discuss any such proposed Reserve or change with the Borrowers and, without 98 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
limiting the right of the Agent to establish or change such Reserves in the Agent’s Reasonable Credit Judgment, the Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in the exercise of its Reasonable Credit Judgment. The amount of any Reserve established by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall have a reasonable relationship as determined by the Agent in its Reasonable Credit Judgment to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Reserve. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Reserve shall not be established pursuant to this Section 2.9 to the extent that such Reserve would be duplicative of any eligibility criteria contained in the definitions of “Eligible Merchandise and Consumables Inventory” or “Eligible Rental Equipment”, and vice versa, or reserves or criteria deducted in computing the Value of Eligible Merchandise and Consumables Inventory or Eligible Rental Equipment or the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Merchandise and Consumables Inventory or Eligible Rental Equipment, and vice versa. The establishment of any Reserve with respect to any obligation, charge, liability, debt or otherwise shall in no event grant any rights or be deemed to have granted any rights in such reserved amount to the holder of such obligation, charge, liability or debt or any other Person (except as explicitly set forth hereunder), but shall solely be viewed as amounts reserved to protect the interests of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 2.10 Canadian Revolving Loans and ROW Revolving Loans; Intra-Lender Issues. (a) Canadian and ROW Revolving Participations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Canadian Revolving Loans and ROW Revolving Loans shall be made solely by the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders (other than, in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, the Participating Canadian Lenders and, in the case of ROW Revolving Loans, the Participating ROW Lenders), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, each Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender (other than, in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, the Participating Canadian Lenders and, in the case of ROW Revolving Loans, the Participating ROW Lenders) shall be required to fund its Pro Rata Share of all Canadian Revolving Loans and ROW Revolving Loans in the applicable currency. Each Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender that is a Participating Canadian Lender or a Participating ROW Lender, as the case may be, shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire and shall be deemed to irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire from Bank of America, and Bank of America shall sell and be deemed to sell to each such Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, without recourse or any representation or warranty whatsoever, an undivided interest and participation (a “Foreign Borrowing Participation”) in each Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan, as applicable, funded by Bank of America in an amount equal to such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing that includes such Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan. Such purchase and sale of a Foreign Borrowing Participation shall be deemed to occur automatically upon the making of the applicable Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan by Bank of America, without any further notice to any Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender. The purchase price payable by each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as the case may be, to Bank of America for each Foreign Borrowing Participation purchased by it from Bank of America shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Foreign Borrowing Participation (i.e., the product of (i) the amount of the Borrowing that includes the relevant Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan and (ii) such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof), and such purchase price shall be payable by each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as the case may be, to Bank of America in accordance with the settlement procedure set forth in Section 2.10(b) below. Bank of America and the Agent shall record on their books the amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans and ROW Revolving Loans made by Bank of America that are subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10 and each Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s Foreign Borrowing Participation and Funded Foreign Borrowing Participation therein, all payments in respect thereof and interest accrued thereon and all payments made by and to each Participating Canadian Lender and each Participating ROW Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10. (b) Settlement Procedures for Foreign Borrowing Participations. Each Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lenders’ Foreign Borrowing Participation in the Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans (other than Agent Advances) shall be in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of all such Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans, respectively. However, in order to facilitate the 99 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
administration of the Canadian Revolving Loans and ROW Revolving Loans made by Bank of America that are subject to this Section 2.10 and the related Foreign Borrowing Participations, settlement among Bank of America and the Participating Canadian Lenders or the Participating ROW Lenders, as the case may be, with regard to their respective Foreign Borrowing Participations shall take place in accordance with the following provisions: (i) Bank of America and the Participating Canadian Lenders or Participating ROW Lenders, as applicable, shall settle (a “Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement”) by payments in respect of any Foreign Borrowing Participations as follows: so long as any Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans are outstanding, the related Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlements shall be effected through the Agent on such Business Days as the Agent shall specify by a notice by facsimile, telephone or similar form of notice to each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, requesting such Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement (each such date on which a Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement in respect of any Foreign Borrowing Participations occurs being a “Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date” in respect thereof), such notice to be delivered no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least one Business Day prior to the requested Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date; provided that the Agent shall have the option but not the obligation to specify a Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date and, in any event, shall not specify a Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided, further that if (A) such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof, (B) no Obligations have yet been declared due and payable under Section 10.2 and (C) the Agent has actual knowledge of such waiver, all prior to the Agent’s giving notice to the Participating Canadian Lenders or Participating ROW Lenders, as applicable, of the first Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date applicable to such Persons under this Agreement, then the Agent shall not give notice to the Participating Canadian Lenders or Participating ROW Lenders, as the case may be, of a Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date based upon such waived Event of Default. If on any Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date in respect of any Foreign Borrowing Participations the total principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans, as applicable, subject to this Section 2.10 that are made or deemed made by Bank of America during the period ending on (but excluding) such Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date and commencing on (and including) the immediately preceding Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date with respect to such Foreign Borrowing Participations (or the Closing Date in the case of the period ending on the first Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date with respect to any Foreign Borrowing Participations) (each such period being a “Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Period”) is greater than the principal amount of such Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans, as applicable, subject to this Section 2.10 that are repaid during such Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Period to Bank of America, each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, shall pay to Bank of America (through the Agent), no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date, an amount equal to such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s ratable share of the amount of such excess. If in any Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Period the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans, as applicable, subject to this Section 2.10 that are repaid to Bank of America in such period exceeds the total principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans, as applicable, subject to this Section 2.10 that are made or deemed made by Bank of America during such period, Bank of America shall pay to each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable (through the Agent), on such Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date an amount equal to such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s, as applicable, ratable share of the amount of such excess. Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlements in respect of any Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans shall be made in the applicable currency of such Loans (or, at the option of Bank of America, the Equivalent Amount in Dollars) on the applicable Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date for such Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans. (ii) If any Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as the case may be, fails to pay to Bank of America on any applicable Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date the full amount required to be paid by such Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender to Bank of America on such Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date in respect of such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s applicable Foreign Borrowing Participation (such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s “Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Amount”) with Bank of 100 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

Without limiting Bank of America’s rights to recover from any Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender any unpaid Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Amount payable by such Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender to Bank of America, the Agent shall also be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise payable to such Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender an amount equal to such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s unpaid Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Amount owing to Bank of America and apply such withheld amount to the payment of any unpaid Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Amount owing by such Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender to Bank of America. (iii) If Bank of America is required to make any payment with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Canadian Borrower or any ROW Borrower (or its participation therein) to (A) the Agent or (B) Bank of America in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 13.16(d), in each case other than as a Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan, each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, shall, upon request of Bank of America, pay to Bank of America an amount equal to such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s ratable share of such payment. (iv) Following the first Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date in respect of any Foreign Borrowing Participation, the Agent shall effect a Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement in respect of such Foreign Borrowing Participation on each subsequent Foreign Borrowing Participation Settlement Date therefor or within one Business Day thereafter. (c) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as the case may be, to purchase from Bank of America a participation in each Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan, as applicable, subject to this Section 2.10 made by Bank of America and to make payments to Bank of America with respect to such participation and to make payments to Bank of America with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Canadian Borrower or any ROW Borrower, in each case as provided herein, shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or of any Revolving Loans, against any Borrower or any Guarantor; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Guarantor may have at any time in respect of any Canadian Revolving Loans, ROW Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Canadian Borrower or any ROW Borrower; (iii) any application or misapplication of any proceeds of any Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for any Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans; (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (vi) the commencement or pendency of any events specified in paragraph (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 10.1, in respect of Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof or any other Person; or 101 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(vii) the failure to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IX or the occurrence of any of the circumstances set forth in Section 13.16(b)(iv). (d) Recovery or Avoidance of Payments. In the event any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Obligor received by the Agent with respect to any Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan subject to this Section 2.10 made by Bank of America is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Agent in connection with any proceeding or other event of the type described in paragraph (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 10.1, in respect of Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof or any other Person, or due to any mistake of law or fact, each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, shall, upon demand by the Agent, pay to Bank of America (through the Agent) such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate and in the currency required to be paid by Bank of America or the Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it. (e) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, agrees to indemnify Bank of America (to the extent not reimbursed by the Obligors and without limiting the obligations of the Obligors hereunder or under any other Loan Document) ratably for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Bank of America in any way relating to or arising out of any Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans, respectively, or any participations by Bank of America in any Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Canadian Borrower or any ROW Borrower, respectively, or any action taken or omitted by Bank of America in connection therewith; provided that no Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank of America. Without limiting the foregoing, each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, agrees to reimburse Bank of America promptly upon demand for such Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrowers to Bank of America in respect of the Canadian Revolving Loans or the ROW Revolving Loans subject to this Section 2.10 to the extent that Bank of America is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The agreements contained in this Section 2.10(e) shall survive payment in full of all Canadian Revolving Loans and ROW Revolving Loans. (f) Participation Fee. In consideration for each Participating Canadian Lender’s or Participating ROW Lender’s, as the case may be, participation in the relevant Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans subject to this Section 2.10 made by Bank of America, Bank of America agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, as applicable, as and when Bank of America receives payment of interest on its related Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans subject to this Section 2.10, a fee (the “Foreign Borrowing Participation Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on such Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans, as applicable, minus, with respect to each Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender, 0.75% on the Unfunded Foreign Borrowing Participation of such Participating Canadian Lender or Participating ROW Lender in such Canadian Revolving Loans or ROW Revolving Loans of Bank of America. The Foreign Borrowing Participation Fee in respect of any Unfunded Foreign Borrowing Participation in any such Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan shall be payable to the Agent in Dollars when interest on such Loan is received by Bank of America. If Bank of America does not receive payment in full of such interest on any such Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan, the Foreign Borrowing Participation Fee in respect of the Unfunded Foreign Borrowing Participation in such Canadian Revolving Loan or ROW Revolving Loan shall be reduced proportionately. Any amounts payable under this Section 2.10(f) by the Agent to the Participating Canadian Lenders or the Participating ROW Lender shall be paid in Dollars. (g) Cessation of Participating Canadian Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or Schedule 2.10A hereto, (i) on the date that is 30 days after the Agreement Date, or such later date as Bank of America may determine in its sole discretion (such date, the “Cessation Date”), (A) Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) (or an Affiliate thereof, to the extent such Affiliate is identified to Bank of America in writing prior to the Cessation Date), shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and assume and 102 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) no consents or notices otherwise required under Section 12.2(a) shall be required for the transactions contemplated by this paragraph (g) and (y) all other conditions or requirements set forth in Section 12.2 for the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated by this paragraph (g) shall be waived. 2.11 ESG Amendment.

The Company, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Required Lenders may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPIs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement. Upon effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrowers’ performance against the KPIs, certain adjustments to the Unused Line Fee and Applicable Margin may be made; provided that the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in an increase or decrease of more than (a) 1.00 basis point in the aggregate in the Unused Line Fee and/or (b) 5.00 basis points in the aggregate in the Applicable Margin, and such adjustments shall not be cumulative. The pricing adjustments and the ESG Amendment will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (as published from time to time by the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications & Trading Association) or with precedent Sustainability Linked Loans (as described in the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles) in the syndicated loan market at the time of the ESG Amendment, and shall identify a sustainability assurance provider (the “Sustainability Assurance Provider”), which shall be a qualified external reviewer, independent of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, with relevant expertise, such as an auditor, environmental consultant and/or independent ratings agency of recognized national standing, and is to be agreed between the Company and the Sustainability Structuring Agent (each acting reasonably). Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Unused Line Fee or Applicable Margin to a level not otherwise permitted by this paragraph shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders. 2.12 Sustainability Structuring Agent. (a) The Sustainability Structuring Agent will (i) assist the Company in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with the ESG Amendment and (ii) assist the Company in preparing informational materials focused on KPIs to be used in connection with the ESG Amendment, in each case, based upon the information provided by the Company with respect to the applicable KPIs selected in accordance with Section Error!

If at any time Loans are outstanding with respect to which the applicable Borrower has not delivered to the Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in accordance herewith, those Loans shall be treated as Base Rate Loans in the case of U.S. Revolving Loans, ROW Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars or French Swingline Loans, as EURIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month in the case of ROW Revolving Loans denominated in an Euros, Term SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month in the case of ANZ Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, as Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, as SONIA Rate Loans in the case of ROW Revolving Loans denominated in Sterling and as Bank Bill Rate Loans with an interest period of one month in the case of ANZ Revolving Loans denominated in Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, until notice to the 104 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
contrary has been given to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest as follows: (i) For all Base Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate, the Foreign Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) For all Canadian Prime Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin; (iii) For all Term SOFR Loans, at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin; (iv) For all Daily SOFR Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to Daily SOFR plus the Applicable Margin; (v) For all BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, at a per annum rate equal to the BA RateTerm CORRA plus the Applicable Margin; (vi) For all EURIBOR Loans, at a per annum rate equal to EURIBOR plus the Applicable Margin; (vii) For all SONIA Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to Daily Simple SONIA plus the Applicable Margin; (viii) For all Bank Bill Rate Loans, at a per annum rate equal to the Bank Bill Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (ix) For all Obligations other than Loans, at the rate set forth therefor (if any) in the applicable agreements (if any) pursuant to which such Obligations were incurred. Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to relevant Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars as of the effective date of such change, each change in the Foreign Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to relevant Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency as of the effective date of such change, each change in the Canadian Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change, each change in the Canadian Prime Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change, each change in Daily SOFR shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Daily SOFR Loans as of the effective date of such change and each change in Daily Simple SONIA shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to SONIA Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate”, for Base Rate Loans when the Canadian Base Rate is determined by the Canadian Bank’s base rate for commercial loans made in Dollars, for Canadian Prime Rate Loans when the Canadian Prime Rate is determined by the Canadian Bank’s “prime” rate for loans made in Canadian Dollars, for BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans and for Loans denominated in Sterling, Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or (other than for Canadian Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans and Loans denominated in Sterling) 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example). On the first Business Day of each calendar quarter hereafter and on the Termination Date, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders (provided that all interest on applicable Swingline Loans shall be for the benefit of the applicable Bank and all interest on Agent 105 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Advances shall be for the benefit of the Agent), interest accrued to the first day of such calendar quarter (or accrued to the Termination Date in the case of a payment on the Termination Date) on all Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, Daily SOFR Loans and SONIA Rate Loans, in arrears. The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders (provided that all interest on applicable French Swingline Loans shall be for the benefit of the French Swingline Lender), interest on all (x) Term SOFR Loans and EURIBOR Loans in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, (y) BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans in arrears on each BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Payment Date and (z) Bank Bill Rate Loans in arrears on each Bank Bill Rate Interest Payment Date. (b) Default Rate. If any Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (i) in the case of overdue principal, at the Default Rate, (ii) in the case of overdue interest, at the Default Rate that would be applicable with respect to the applicable principal on which such interest is due, provided that, in the case of any French Borrower, the Default Rate (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount only if, within the meaning of Article 1343-2 of the French Code civil, such interest is due by such French Borrower for a period of at least one year, but will remain immediately due and payable, and (iii) in all other cases, at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would be applicable to a Base Rate Loan denominated in the applicable currency or, in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, plus 2%. (c) Effective Global Rate (Taux effectif global) in relation to any French Borrower. (i) For the purposes of Articles L.314-1 to L.314-5 and R.314-1 et seq. of the French Code de la consommation, and Article L.313-4 of the French Code monétaire et financier, the French Borrowers and the French Swingline Lender acknowledge that, by virtue of certain characteristics of the French Swingline Loans granted to any French Borrower (and in particular the floating rate of interest applicable to the French Swingline Loans, the Borrowers’ right to select the duration of each Interest Period and the uncertainty as to the amount to be effectively drawn from time to time under the French Swingline Loans granted to the French Borrowers), the taux effectif global cannot be calculated on the date of this Agreement. (ii) However, each French Borrower acknowledges that it has received from the Agent, a letter containing an indicative calculation of the taux effectif global on the date of this Agreement, based on figured examples calculated on assumptions as to the taux de période and the durée de période set out in a letter and on the assumption that the interest rate and all other fees, costs or expenses payable under this Agreement by such French Borrower will be maintained at their original level throughout the term of this Agreement (a “TEG Letter”). (iii) The French Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge that any TEG Letters delivered in accordance with clause (c)(ii) above form part of this Agreement. 3.2 Continuation and Conversion Elections.

(b) The Borrowers’ Agent shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion substantially in the form of Exhibit C (each, a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”) to the Agent not later than, (v) in the case of U.S. Revolving Loans and ROW Revolving Loans (other than Daily SOFR Loans made to a U.S. Borrower), 1:00 p.m., New York City time, at least two Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, (w) in the case of Daily SOFR Loans made to a U.S. Borrower, 1:00 p.m., New York City time, at least one Business Day in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, (x) in the case of French Swingline Loans, 11:00 a.m., London time, at least two Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, (y) in the case of Bank Bill Rate Loans, 12:00 noon, New York City time, at least three Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date and (z) in other cases, 12:00 noon, New York City time, at least two Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans and specifying: (i) the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date; (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued; (iii) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and 107 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(iv) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period, provided, however, the Borrowers may not select an Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period that ends after the Maturity Date. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Continuation/Conversion, the Borrowers’ Agent may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request on or before the deadline set forth above. The Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice with respect to such continuation or conversion, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received. (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans or any BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period applicable to any BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, the applicable Borrowers have failed to timely deliver a Notice of Continuation/Conversion (or, in lieu thereof, telephonic notice as contemplated above) in respect of such Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Term SOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans in the case of U.S. Revolving Loans, ROW Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars or French Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars, to continue such Term SOFR Loans as Term SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month in the case of ANZ Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, to continue such EURIBOR Loans as EURIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month in the case of ROW Revolving Loans denominated in Euros or French Swingline Loans denominated in Euros, to convert such BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans and to continue such Bank Bill Rate Loans as Bank Bill Rate Loans in the same currency with an Interest Period of one month in the case of ANZ Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case, effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period. If any Default or Event of Default exists, at the election of the Agent or the Required Lenders, unless repaid, all Term SOFR Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans as of the expiration date of each applicable Interest Period and all Daily SOFR Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, in each case, in the case of U.S. Revolving Loans, ROW Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars or French Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars, all Term SOFR Loans shall be continued as Term SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month in the case of ANZ Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, all EURIBOR Loans shall be continued as EURIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month as of the expiration date of each applicable Interest Period, all Bank Bill Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be continued as Bank Bill Rate Loans in the same currency with an Interest Period of one month and all BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans shall be converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans as of the expiration date of each applicable BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period. (d) The Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender (or, in the case of French Swingline Loans, the French Swingline Lender) of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans, with respect to which the notice was given, held by each applicable Lender. (e) The total number of Term SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans and Bank Bill Rate Loans in effect hereunder at any time shall not exceed 25. 3.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable under applicable law with respect to loans of the Type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the applicable Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable 108 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrowers such excess. 3.4 Closing Fees. The U.S. Borrowers agree to pay the Agent and each of the Arrangers on the Closing Date all fees due and payable on such date as set forth in the applicable Fee Letters. 3.5 Unused Line Fee. On the first Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date, (a) the U.S. Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders, an unused line fee (the “Pro Rata Unused Line Fee”) equal to 0.20% per annum times the amount by which the average daily Maximum Pro Rata Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of the average daily outstanding amount of Pro Rata Revolving Loans (other than Swingline Loans) and the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding calendar quarter or shorter period if calculated for the first calendar quarter ending after the Agreement Date or on the Termination Date and (b) the ANZ Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the ANZ Revolving Credit Lenders, an unused line fee (the “ANZ Unused Line Fee” and, together with the Pro Rata Unused Line Fee, the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to 0.20% per annum times the amount by which the average daily Maximum ANZ Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of the average daily outstanding amount of ANZ Revolving Loans (other than Swingline Loans) during the immediately preceding calendar quarter or shorter period if calculated for the first calendar quarter ending after the Agreement Date or on the Termination Date. All principal payments received by the Agent shall be deemed to be credited immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Pro Rata Unused Line Fee or the ANZ Unused Line Fee, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 3.5. Upon receipt thereof, the Agent shall distribute (x) the Pro Rata Unused Line Fee to the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders ratably based on their Pro Rata Shares of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the ANZ Unused Line Fee to the ANZ Revolving Credit Lenders ratably based on their Pro Rata Shares of the ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments. 3.6 Letter of Credit Fees. The U.S. Borrowers agree to pay (a) to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for each Letter of Credit, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to, on a per annum basis, the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans, (b) to the Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, and (c) to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, all normal and customary out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or amendment to any Letter of Credit.

The Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share). If such notice is given by any Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that such prepayment obligation may be conditioned on the occurrence of any subsequent event (including a Change of Control, refinancing transaction or acquisition or other Investment). Subject to the other limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, the applicable Borrower may elect to apply voluntary prepayments of Loans to one or more Type(s) or class(es) of Loans selected by such applicable Borrower in its sole discretion (provided that such voluntary prepayments of Loans shall be made pro rata within any such Type(s) or applicable class(es) selected by such applicable Borrower). In the event that the applicable Borrower does not specify the application of prepayments as between Types or classes of Loans, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such prepayment be applied on a pro rata basis among all Types and applicable classes of Loans.

It is acknowledged and agreed that any payments by a French Borrower pursuant to this section shall only be in relation to French Obligations. 4.3 Termination or Reductions of Facilities; Reallocation. (a) The Borrowers’ Agent (on behalf of the Borrowers) may terminate this Agreement, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Agent (who will promptly distribute such notice to the Lenders), upon Full Payment of the Obligations and payment of amounts (if any) due under Section 5.4. (b) The Borrowers’ Agent (on behalf of any Borrower) may from time to time reduce the amount of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments or the ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments (on a pro rata basis as among the applicable Lenders based on the applicable Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Share, unless otherwise agreed to by the respective applicable Lenders), upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Agent (who will promptly distribute such notice to the Lenders), which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. If after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, (i) the Maximum Canadian Revolver Amount, the Maximum ROW Revolver Amount, the Letter of Credit Subfacility, the U.S. Swingline Sublimit, the ROW Swingline Sublimit, the Canadian Swingline Sublimit or the French Swingline Sublimit shall exceed the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments at such time or (ii) the ANZ Swingline Sublimit shall exceed the ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, in each case each such amount, subfacility or sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess and such reduction shall be accompanied by such payment (if any) as may be required to be made such that after giving effect to such payment the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of the relevant aggregate Canadian Revolving Loans, ROW Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans do not exceed the applicable amount, subfacility or sublimit as so reduced. Each reduction in the Commitments shall be accompanied by such payment (if any) as may be required to avoid an Out-of-Formula Condition. (c) The Borrowers’ Agent may, from time to time (but not more than once per Fiscal Quarter, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent), request that (i) Lenders with Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments convert a portion of such Commitments to ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments, or that (ii) Lenders with ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments convert all or a portion of their ANZ Revolving Credit Commitments to Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments, all pursuant to procedures to be specified by the Agent (each such conversion, a “Reallocation”). Each Reallocation shall be offered to the applicable Lenders ratably; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to agree to any such Reallocation, in which case such Reallocation shall not apply to the Commitments of any such non-consenting Lender. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Agent may, in consultation with the Borrowers’ Agent, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, upon the effectiveness of any Reallocation, the outstanding Revolving Loans shall be held by the Lenders in accordance with their new Pro Rata Shares. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers’ Agent, by causing the applicable Borrowers to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans with the proceeds of new Revolving Loans to be made in accordance with the Lenders’ new Pro Rata Shares or any other method acceptable to the Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent. Any such prepayment shall be subject to Section 5.4 but otherwise without premium or penalty. The Company shall deliver on the effective date of any Reallocation, and it shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, a certificate certifying that (x) the 111 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
representations and warranties made by Holdings, each Borrower and each Guarantor contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (and any representation and warranty that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect is true and correct in all respects) on and as of such effective date as though made on and as of such effective date, other than any such representation or warranty which relates to a specified prior date (except that it is understood and agreed that the reference in Section 6.7 to “prior to and after giving effect to any Borrowings and the issuance of any Letters of Credit” shall be deemed to refer instead to “as of the date of such Reallocation, immediately after giving effect to such Reallocation, including any Borrowings and the issuance of any Letter of Credit”) and (y) as of such effective date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Reallocation. (d) [Intentionally omitted]. (e) Any notice of termination delivered by the Borrowers’ Agent pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.3 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case, subject to Section 5.4, such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers’ Agent (by written notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. (f) [Intentionally omitted]. (g) All outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. (h) At any time that the Maximum Canadian Revolver Amount has been permanently reduced to zero and Full Payment with respect to the Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers has occurred, the Agent agrees, at the election of the Borrowers’ Agent, to (i) terminate the Canadian Security Agreement, the Canadian Guarantee Agreement, and any other Canadian Security Document and (ii) release any security interest granted under any Canadian Security Document and release each Guarantor from its obligations under the Canadian Guarantee Agreement. 4.4 Term SOFR Loan, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, EURIBOR Loan and Bank Bill Rate Loan Prepayments. In connection with any prepayment, if any Term SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans are prepaid prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall comply with Section 5.4. 4.5 Payments by the Borrowers. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the applicable Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent, and shall be made in Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars or any other Alternative Currency, as applicable, and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date specified herein; provided that: (i) if for any reason any Borrower is prohibited by any Requirement of Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Equivalent Amount in Dollars; and (ii) in the case of any payment received or made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or to any French Borrower, the Agent shall take any necessary action (including, if required, by entering into any agreement with any credit institution (établissement de crédit) or financing company (société de financement) duly authorized) in order to ensure that (A) such payments shall be made to or by the Agent in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations and (B) separate bank accounts are opened and maintained by or on behalf of the Agent for each financing made to the French Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so that the payments made by or to the Agent under each such financing are effected to a bank account 112 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
of the Agent or from a bank account of the Agent dedicated solely to the receipt and payment of funds to be paid or received under such financing, it being specified that the Agent shall not be authorized to dispose of such funds for its own account (unless such funds were to be paid to the Agent under any Loan Document for its own account) or for another financing transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the foregoing provisions shall not be read so as to require the French Borrowers to open separate bank accounts for the purposes of payments to or receipt of payments from the Agent and (y) this clause (a)(ii) shall not apply to any fees or commissions paid to the Agent. (b) Any payment received by the Agent after the time set forth in clause (a) above shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. (c) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” and “BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period”, as applicable, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. 4.6 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments in respect of any class(es) (but excluding payments to any tranche established after the date of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7 to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such tranche) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders of such class(es) (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each such Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the Lenders of each applicable class, except for fees payable solely to the Agent, any Arranger or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer. Principal and interest payments on any loans made pursuant to any tranche established after the date of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7 shall be allocated pro rata (or as may otherwise be provided for in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such tranche) among the Lenders with commitments under any facility in respect thereof or with participations in such tranche (in each case subject to any limitations on non-pro rata payments otherwise provided in any such section). All payments shall be remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent or the Arrangers from the applicable Borrower or Borrowers; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the applicable Borrower or Borrowers; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Loans of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, including Swingline Loans and Agent Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Swingline Loans and Agent Advances of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers; fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Loans (excluding the applicable Swingline Loans and applicable Agent Advances) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, to pay Designated Bank Products Obligations of the applicable Obligor or Obligors in respect of any Waterfall Priority Hedge Agreements, in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Waterfall Priority Hedge Agreement Reserve with respect to such Waterfall Priority Hedge Agreement; sixth, to pay an amount to the Agent equal to all outstanding Obligations (contingent or otherwise) with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations; seventh, to the payment of any other applicable Obligations, including any amounts relating to Bank Products not otherwise paid above, due to the Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of the Agent or any Lender or any other Secured Party, by the Obligors; and eighth, to pay any remaining amounts to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers for its or their own account; provided that (a) no proceeds from the Canadian Collateral shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Revolving Loans or to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Canadian Obligor or any ROW Borrower) and (a) proceeds from the U.S. Collateral shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Revolving Loans, ROW Revolving Loans, French Swingline Loans and ANZ Revolving Loans, to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit and to pay other U.S. Obligations (in the order set forth above) before being applied to the payment or cash collateralization of any Canadian Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrowers, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall 113 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
apply any payments which it receives to any Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, except (i) on the expiration date of the Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period applicable to any such Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, or (ii) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans and, in such event, the Borrowers shall pay Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan breakage losses in accordance with Section 5.4. The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the applicable U.S. Obligations, ROW Obligations, Canadian Obligations or French Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 4.6 may be amended in accordance with Section 12.1(c) (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into any such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7, as applicable. 4.7 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent, any Lender, either Bank or any Affiliate of either Bank or any other Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent, such Lender, such Bank or such Affiliate of such Bank or such other Secured Party, and the Borrowers shall be liable to pay to the Agent, the Lenders, such Bank, such Affiliate of such Bank or such other Secured Party and hereby do indemnify the Agent, the Lenders, such Bank, such Affiliate of such Bank or such other Secured Party and hold the Agent, the Lenders, such Bank, such Affiliate of such Bank or such other Secured Party harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any release of Collateral or guarantors, cancellation or return of Loan Documents, or other contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent, any Lender, either Bank, such Affiliate of such Bank or such other Secured Party in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent’s, the Lenders’, such Bank’s, such Affiliate of the Bank or such other Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 4.8 Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers’ Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that any Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Agent makes for the account of any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder as to which the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) a Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by a Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 114 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
A notice of the Agent to any Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.8 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement 4.9 Agent’s and Lenders’ Books and Records; Monthly Statements. The Agent shall record the principal amount and currency of the Loans owing to each Lender, the maximum amount available to be drawn under and the currency of all applicable outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of unpaid reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the Letters of Credit from time to time on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Loans in its books and records. Failure by the Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit. The Borrowers agree that the Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof (absent manifest error), irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The Agent will provide to the Borrowers a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Obligors and an account stated (absent manifest error and except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided for in Section 4.6 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless the Borrowers notify the Agent in writing to the contrary within 30 days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrowers, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrowers. 4.10 Borrowers’ Agent. Each of the Borrowers, other than the Company, hereby irrevocably appoints the Company, and the Company shall act under this Agreement, as the agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative of such other Borrowers for all purposes, including requesting Loans and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to the Borrowers (or any of them) from the Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender. The Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation/Conversion, request for a Letter of Credit, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by the Company, whether in its own name, as Borrowers’ Agent, on behalf of any other Borrower or on behalf of the “Borrowers”, and neither the Agent nor the Letter of Credit Issuers or any Lender shall have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on it of any such notice, request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication; provided that the provisions of this Section 4.10 shall not be construed so as to preclude any Borrower from taking actions permitted to be taken by a Borrower hereunder. 4.11 [Intentionally Omitted]. 4.12 Excess Resulting from Exchange Rate Change. (a) If at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of any Alternative Currency against the Dollar, the Aggregate U.S. Revolver Outstandings exceed the Maximum Pro Rata Revolver Amount, the applicable U.S. Borrowers shall, if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or equal to 3% of the Maximum Pro Rata Revolver Amount, within three Business Days of notice of such excess from the Agent, (i) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce the Aggregate U.S. Revolver Outstandings to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (ii) maintain or cause to be maintained with the Agent deposits as continuing collateral security for the Aggregate U.S. Revolver Outstandings in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

ARTICLE V TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 5.1 Taxes. (a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any and all payments by an Obligor to a Lender or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding, for any Indemnified Taxes. In addition, the Obligors shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) The Obligors agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 5.1) payable or paid by any Lender or the Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor in accordance with Section 5.6. For the avoidance of doubt, an Obligor does not have to indemnify and hold harmless a Lender under this Section 5.1(b) to the extent that the Lender is otherwise compensated under a separate clause of this Section 5.1. (c) If an Obligor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, then: (i) an additional amount shall be payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.1) such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; (ii) the Obligor shall make such deductions and withholdings; and (iii) the Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (d) At the Agent’s request, within 30 days after the date of any payment by an Obligor of Indemnified Taxes, the relevant Obligor shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. (e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without 118 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (e) 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 clause (e) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document (other than an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax levied by the United Kingdom on interest under any applicable double taxation treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party) shall deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or 119 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the applicable Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers’ Agent or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 120 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (g) Each Lender agrees severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.21(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Agent makes written demand therefor in accordance with Section 5.6(b). (h) Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters. (i) Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, each U.K. Borrower shall, at the request of any Lender or the Agent, reasonably assist such Lender in timely completing any procedural formalities (as may be applicable in the United Kingdom at the applicable time) necessary for such Lender to receive payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom, and such Lender shall complete such procedural formalities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax on interest under any applicable double taxation treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party, and that holds a passport number under the HMRC Double Taxation Treaty Passport Scheme and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall include an indication of such choice by providing to the Agent and each applicable U.K. Borrower such Lender’s scheme reference number, such Lender’s jurisdiction of tax residence, the applicable rate of relief under the relevant double taxation treaty, and any other information the relevant U.K. Borrower reasonably requests as is required for the U.K. Borrower to make a Borrower DTTP Filing (the “DTTP Information”). (iii) Without limiting clause (i) above, when a Lender provides the applicable DTTP Information to the Agent and each U.K. Borrower in accordance with clause (ii) above, each U.K. Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender, and in each case each U.K. Borrower shall promptly provide such Lender and the Agent with a proof of, and a copy of, such filing; provided that, if (A) each U.K. Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or (B) each U.K. Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but: (1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or (2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for Tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing; or 121 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(3) HM Revenue & Customs has given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a deduction for Tax but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired, and in each case, such U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of (1), (2) or (3) above, then such Lender and such U.K. Borrower shall cooperate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom. (i) VAT. (i) All amounts set out or expressed in any Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Loan Document (for the purposes of this paragraph (i), a “party”) to any Lender or Bank or the Agent that (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT that is chargeable on such supply. Subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Bank or the Agent to any party under any Loan Document and such Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, is required to account to the relevant tax authority for such VAT, such party shall pay to such Lender or Bank or the Agent (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply), as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party). (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Bank or the Agent (the “VAT Supplier”) to any other Lender, Bank or the Agent (the “VAT Recipient”) under any Loan Document, and any party other than the VAT Recipient (the “VAT Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the VAT Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the VAT Recipient in respect of such consideration): (A) to the extent the VAT Supplier is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the VAT Subject Party shall also pay to the VAT Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT, and the VAT Recipient shall, where this clause (A) applies, promptly pay to the VAT Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on such supply; and (B) to the extent the VAT Recipient is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the VAT Subject Party shall promptly, following demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on such supply but only to the extent that the VAT Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of such VAT. (iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify any Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, for any cost or expense, such party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, except to the extent that such Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 122 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(iv) Any reference in this paragraph (i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person that is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction that is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (and “representative member” shall have the same meaning in relation to a United Kingdom VAT group as in the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994) or head of such group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be). (v) In relation to any supply made by a Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, such party must promptly provide such Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the VAT reporting requirements of such Lender or Bank or the Agent, as applicable, in relation to such supply. (j) Australian Taxation. (i) The Agent represents to each Australian Borrower that (A) on behalf of each Australian Borrower, it or its Affiliates have made invitations to become an ANZ Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement to 10 or more Persons, each of whom, as at the date the relevant invitation was made, the Agent’s or its Affiliates’ officers or employees involved in the day to day syndication process reasonably believed was carrying on the business of providing finance or investing or dealing in securities in the course of operating in financial markets and (B) the Agent’s or its Affiliates’ officers or employees involved in the day to day syndication process reasonably believed 10 or more of such invitees were not Associates of each other or of any Australian Borrower. (ii) Each Australian Borrower confirms that none of the potential invitees whose names were disclosed to it by the Agent before June 30, 2021 were known or suspected by it to be an Offshore Associate of any Australian Borrower. Each Australian Borrower also confirms that each Australian Borrower under this Agreement is (A) a member of the same “wholly-owned group” (as defined in the Australian Tax Act) or (B) an Associate of each other Australian Borrower. (iii) Each ANZ Revolving Credit Lender represents and warrants that (A) an invitation to become an ANZ Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement was made to it by the Agent or its Affiliates on behalf of the Australian Borrowers, (B) it was at the time of the invitation, and will be at the time of making by it of any Loan to any Australian Borrower, carrying on a business of providing finance, or investing or dealing in securities, in the course of operating in financial markets and (C) except as disclosed to the Borrowers’ Agent, insofar as its officers and agents who were involved in its becoming a party to this Agreement have actual knowledge, it is not an Associate of any other Person which was invited to become an ANZ Revolving Credit Lender under the Agreement. (iv) At the cost of the Obligors, each of the ANZ Revolving Credit Lenders and the Agent will, to the extent it is reasonably able to do so, do or provide such other things (including information) which the Borrowers’ Agent reasonably requests it to do or provide in connection with the invitations to become ANZ Revolving Credit Lenders under this Agreement which the Borrowers’ Agent considers practicable and necessary to demonstrate that the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act are satisfied. (k) New Zealand Resident Withholding Tax. (i) Each NZ Lender (A) represents and warrants to the ANZ Borrowers that, as of the Agreement Date or the date such NZ Lender becomes party to this Agreement, as applicable, such NZ Lender has RWT-Exempt Status and (B) undertakes to maintain RWT-Exempt Status throughout the term of this Agreement, provided such NZ Lender is lawfully able to do so. (ii) If, at any time, any such NZ Lender ceases to be entitled lawfully to have RWT-Exempt Status and, as a result, any ANZ Borrower is required to make an additional payment under 123 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Section 5.1(c), such NZ Lender will notify the applicable ANZ Borrower (as soon as possible, and in any event prior to any payment being made to such Lender under this Agreement) and the applicable ANZ Borrower and such NZ Lender shall negotiate in good faith for a period not exceeding 30 days with a view to agreeing upon an arrangement which will ensure, so far as possible, that the applicable ANZ Borrower is not disadvantaged and such NZ Lender is not advantaged by reason of the loss of RWT-Exempt Status. If no such arrangement is agreed within the 30 day period, Section 5.1(c) will continue to apply. (l) New Zealand Approved Issuer Status. (i) If at any time (A) any ANZ Borrower is entitled to make a payment of Approved Issuer Levy in respect of interest paid by such ANZ Borrower to a Lender under this Agreement so that the rate of New Zealand non-resident withholding tax otherwise payable is reduced to zero percent in respect of the interest payable to such Lender or (B) a Lender is eligible for an exemption from tax on interest under a double tax agreement (as defined in section YA 1 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (NZ)) which is dependent on payment of Approved Issuer Levy and such Lender notifies the relevant ANZ Borrower that it is seeking to rely on such exemption, then the applicable ANZ Borrower may or, where Section 5.1(l)(i)(B) applies, shall to the extent lawfully able: (x) promptly apply to become an “approved issuer” as defined in section YA 1 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (if it is not already) and ensure the ANZ Credit Facilities are registered with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue under section 86H of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971, (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its status as an “approved issuer” during the term of the ANZ Credit Facilities and (z) make payment of Approved Issuer Levy in accordance with section 86K of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971. (ii) Where Approved Issuer Levy is paid at the request of a Lender in accordance with Section 5.1(l)(i)(B), the applicable ANZ Borrower will be entitled to deduct from any payment of interest (or deemed interest) in respect of which Approved Issuer Levy is entitled to be so paid, an amount equal to the Approved Issuer Levy that is applicable for such payment, and shall not be required to indemnify, compensate or reimburse the Lender for the amount so deducted (whether under Section 5.1(c) or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, the ANZ Borrowers will not be entitled to deduct from any payment of interest (or deemed interest) to a Lender an amount equal to the Approved Issuer Levy that is paid in accordance with Section 5.1(l)(i)(A). (m) Notice of Legal Requirements. Each Lender undertakes (i) to notify the Borrowers’ Agent (at least five Business Days prior to any scheduled payment being made to such Lender under this Agreement) if such Lender is, becomes or ceases to be, a NZ Lender and (ii) to provide to the Borrowers’ Agent such information as the Borrowers’ Agent may reasonably request to determine whether or at what rate the applicable ANZ Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding on payments made to such Lender under this Agreement or to comply with the applicable ANZ Borrower’s record-keeping and disclosure obligations under applicable New Zealand tax law. 5.2 Illegality. (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, in each case after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted after such date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans, Bank Bill Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, then, on notice thereof by that Lender to the Borrowers’ Agent through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans, Bank Bill Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. 124 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Term SOFR Loan, Daily SOFR Loan, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, EURIBOR Loans, Bank Bill Rate Loans or Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate as a result of the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, in each case after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, the Borrowers shall, upon their receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans, Bank Bill Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 5.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period thereof, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, in the case of such Daily SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans or if that Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans. If the Borrowers are required to so prepay any Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans, Bank Bill Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrowers shall borrow from the affected Lender (other than any affected ROW Swingline Lender or French Swingline Lender, as applicable), in the amount (or the Equivalent Amount in Dollars, as applicable) of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars bearing interest based on the Base Rate or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be. 5.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. (a) If any Lender determines that due to any of (i) the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation (including any law or regulation relating to Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes and (y) Excluded Taxes)), (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, (iii) compliance by that Lender with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any request, rule, guideline or directive thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (iv) the compliance by that Lender with any requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans, Bank Bill Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, then, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of or compliance with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, (iv) compliance by that Lender with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any request, rule, guideline or directive thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (v) any requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, CRD IV or CRR, or any regulation that implements or applies CRD IV or CRR, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, 125 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
upon demand of such Lender to the Borrowers’ Agent through the Agent, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase. (c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.3 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any (and such Lender so certifies to the Borrowers). 5.4 Funding Losses. The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) the failure of the Borrowers to borrow a Term SOFR Loan, Daily SOFR Loan, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Bank Bill Rate Loan after any Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing; (b) the failure of the Borrowers to continue a Term SOFR Loan, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Bank Bill Rate Loan or convert a Loan into a Term SOFR Loan, Daily SOFR Loan,BA Equivalent Term CORRA Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Bank Bill Rate Loan after any Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or (c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any Term SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period (including any payment in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5.9), including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing. 5.5 Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period for a Term SOFR Loan, BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Bank Bill Rate Loan (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, prior to the commencement of any calendar month) or in the case of any Daily SOFR Loan: (a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR, the BA RateTerm CORRA, EURIBOR or the Bank Bill Rate for such Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, Term SOFR or EURIBOR for such calendar month) or SOFR (in the case of any Daily SOFR Loan); or (b) the Agent is advised by Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares aggregate more than 50% that Term SOFR, the BA RateTerm CORRA, EURIBOR or the Bank Bill Rate for such Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, Term SOFR or EURIBOR for such calendar month) or SOFR (in the case of any Daily SOFR Loan), as applicable, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans included for such Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period (or of making or maintaining such Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans) (each of clauses (a) and (b), a “Market Disruption Event”), 126 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
then the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers’ Agent and the applicable Lenders by telephone, facsimile transmission or PDF attachment to an e-mail or other electronic communication as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrowers’ Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any applicable Loan to, or continuation of any such Loan as, a Term SOFR Loan, a Daily SOFR Loan, a BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, a EURIBOR Loan, a Bank Bill Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, as applicable, shall be ineffective and (A) such Loan (other than any such Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency or any such ROW Swingline Loan or French Swingline Loan, as applicable) shall be converted to or continued as, on the last day of the Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period applicable thereto, a Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Base Rate or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, and (B) any such Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency or any such ROW Swingline Loan or French Swingline Loan, as applicable, shall be prepaid in full, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, in the case of a Term SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, or immediately, in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Term SOFR Loan, Daily SOFR Loan, a BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, a EURIBOR Loan, a Bank Bill Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Foreign Base Rate, (A) such Loan (other than any such Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency or any such ROW Swingline Loan or French Swingline Loan, as applicable) shall be made as a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars bearing interest based on the Base Rate or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, and (B) any such Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency or any such ROW Swingline Loan or French Swingline Loan, as applicable, shall not be made; provided that with respect to clause (i)(B) above, if the Borrowers are required to so prepay any such Loans, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrowers shall borrow from the applicable Lenders (other than any ROW Swingline Lender or French Swingline Lender, as applicable), in the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars bearing interest based on the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by them. During any period in which a Market Disruption Event is in effect, the Borrowers’ Agent may request that the Agent or the Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares aggregate more than 50%, as applicable, confirm that the circumstances giving rise to the Market Disruption Event continue to be in effect; provided that (x) the Borrowers’ Agent shall not be permitted to submit any such request more than once in any 30-day period and (y) nothing contained in this Section 5.5 or the failure to provide confirmation of the continued effectiveness of such Market Disruption Event shall in any way affect the Agent’s right or the right of the applicable Lenders to provide any additional notices of a Market Disruption Event as provided in this Section 5.5. If the Agent or such Lenders, as applicable, have not confirmed within 10 Business Days after request of such confirmation from the Borrowers’ Agent that a Market Disruption Event has occurred, then such Market Disruption Event shall be deemed to be no longer existing. 5.6 Certificates of Agent. (a) If the Agent or any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation under this Article V (other than under Section 5.1(g)), the Agent or the affected Lender shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent (with a copy to the Agent, in the case of a Lender) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Agent or the affected Lender, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error; provided that, except for compensation under Section 5.1, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the Agent or such Lender any compensation attributable to any period prior to the date that is 90 days prior to the date on which the Agent or such Lender first gave notice to the Borrowers’ Agent of the circumstances entitling such Lender to compensation. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. (b) If the Agent claims reimbursement or compensation under Section 5.1(g), the Agent shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the applicable Lender a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Agent, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Lender in the absence of manifest error. Such Lender shall pay to the Agent the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 127 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
5.7 Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document: (a) [Reserved]. (b) (i) Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event in respect of Dollars, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Dollar Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Dollar Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth 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 Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error). (c) At any time that the administrator of the then-current Dollar Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrowers’ Agent may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the receipt of notice by Borrowers’ Agent from the Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrowers’ Agent will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers’ Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrowers’ Agent) that the Borrowers’ Agent or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the applicable Benchmark for any Agreement Currency (other than Dollars), then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Benchmark for such currency in accordance with this Section 5.7 with an alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the United States and denominated in the applicable currency for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the United States and denominated in the applicable currency for such Benchmark, each of which adjustments or methods for calculating such adjustments shall be published on one or more information services as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (any such proposed rate, an “Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders unless, prior to such time, Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Such Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement for the applicable currency shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent. (e) If no Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement has been determined for the applicable currency and the circumstances under Section 5.7(d) above exist, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrowers’ Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Bank Bill Rate Loans (or SONIA Rate Loans, if applicable) in such currency, as applicable, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Types of Loans or Interest Periods 128 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice (i) any Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any applicable Loan to, or continuation of any such Loan as, a BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, a EURIBOR Loan or a Bank Bill Rate Loan, as applicable, in such currency shall be ineffective and any such Loan shall be prepaid in full, together with interest accrued thereon, on the last day of the Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period with respect thereto and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Loan, a EURIBOR Loan, a Bank Bill Rate Loan or a SONIA Rate Loan, as applicable, in such currency, such loan shall not be made; provided that with respect to clause (i) above, if any Borrower is required to so prepay any such Loans, then concurrently with such prepayment, such Borrower shall borrow from the applicable Lenders (other than any ROW Swingline Lender or French Swingline Lender, as applicable), in the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars bearing interest based on the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any affected Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by them. (f) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement or Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. (g) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers’ Agent and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement or Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 5.7, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.7. (h) At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement or Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR, EURIBOR, the BA RateTerm CORRA or the Bank Bill Rate), then the Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings. 5.8 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this Article V shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 5.9 Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event (a) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 5.3, iii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.2, iv) any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.1, v) any Lender is, or becomes an Affiliate of a Person that is, engaged in the business in which the Borrowers are engaged, (e) any amount payable under the Loans Documents by a French Borrower becomes not deductible from such French Borrower’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being paid or accrued to a French Swingline Lender incorporated, domiciled or established in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (f) any Lender fails to approve an additional Alternative Currency pursuant to Section 1.7 or delivers a notice that it will no longer be able to extend Loans in an Alternative Currency approved pursuant to Section 1.7, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing fee referred to in Section 12.2(a)), upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (1) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (2) except in the case of clause (d) above, no Event of Default shall have occurred and 129 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 12.2 within two Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 5.9 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 5.9, the Borrowers shall be entitled (but not obligated), upon receipt by the replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid under this Section 5.9, to execute such an Assignment and Acceptance on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Acceptance so executed by the Borrowers, the replacement Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 12.2, the Agent shall be effective for purposes of this Section 5.9 and Section 12.2.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrowers’ request (and if applicable, payment by the Borrowers of the processing fee referred to in Section 12.2(a)), the Agent or an Eligible Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation) with the Agent’s approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell, all of the Non-Consenting Lenders’ interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, in accordance with the procedures set forth in clauses (i) through (v) in the proviso to Section 5.9 and the last sentence in Section 5.9, as if each such Non-Consenting Lender is an assignor Lender thereunder; provided that no action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lenders shall be necessary in connection with any assignment under this Section 12.1(b), and such assignment shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment by the Agent or Eligible Assignee of the applicable purchase price.

(a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of (i) the Agent, (ii) the Swingline Lenders (other than the French Swingline Lender and the ROW Swingline Lender) and the Letter of Credit Issuers, and (iii) so long as no Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (a), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 10.1 has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers’ Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no such consent shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Approved Fund or to a Lender or to an Affiliate or branch of a Lender) (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000; provided, however, that (w) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall be given to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (x) such Lender and its Assignee shall deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance; (y) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent any tax forms and information required by Section 5.1(f) and Section 5.1(h); and (z) the assignor Lender or Assignee shall pay to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, further, that the Agent may elect to waive such processing fee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any notice or consent requirement herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto hereby consents to any assignment by MUFG Union Bank, N.A. of its Commitments and Loans to its Affiliate, MUFG Bank, Ltd., which assignment shall otherwise be documented in accordance with the terms hereof. (b) From and after the date that the Agent has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent has received any tax forms and information required by Section 5.1(f) and Section 5.1(h) (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the Agent has received payment of the above-referenced processing fee and the Agent has recorded such assignment in the Register as provided in Section 13.21 herein, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit, have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assignor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assignor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by any Obligor to the Agent or any Lender in the applicable Collateral; (ii) such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and 166 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Obligor or the performance or observance by any Obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assignor Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental powers, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 12.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. Each Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the applicable Commitment of the assignor Lender pro tanto. (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrowers (a “Participant”), in each case that is not a Disqualified Lender, participating interests in any Loans, any Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the applicable Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters set forth in Sections 12.1(a)(iii)(C) and (D) and Section 12.1(a)(iv), and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section 12.2, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 12.2. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR § 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. (g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.1 or 5.3 than the Originating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participating interest sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participating interest to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrowers’ prior written consent and the applicable Borrowers expressly waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such sale. A Participant that would be subject to the requirements of Section 5.1(f) if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.1 unless the applicable Borrowers are notified of the participating interest sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the applicable Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.1(f) as though it were a Lender. 167 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
ARTICLE XIII THE AGENT 13.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Bank as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article XIII. The provisions of this Article XIII (other than Sections 13.9, 13.11(a), 13.11(b) and 13.15(c)) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall have no rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as applicable, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 2.2(b), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders. 13.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent hereby appoints the Borrowers’ Agent to be a subagent solely of the Agent solely for the purpose of (a) causing (i) the Agent to be named as lienholder, secured party, legal owner or such other capacity, as appropriate, on the certificate of title for any Titled Goods or (ii) on any filing or registration statement in favor of the Agent, effected under the Loan Documents in the PPSA or otherwise, the addition of any Titled Goods by its VIN or serial number, in either case in order to create and/or perfect the security interest of the Secured Parties therein and (b)(i) releasing any such security interest upon a sale of the Titled Goods covered thereby in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) removing the VIN or serial number of Titled Goods upon a sale thereof; provided that (x) the Borrowers’ Agent in such capacity may appoint other third-party subagents reasonably acceptable to the Agent, (y) neither the Borrowers’ Agent nor any such subagent shall be authorized to take any other action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Agent, and (z) such appointment, and any further subagency, may be terminated by the Agent at any time by notice to the Borrowers’ Agent. 13.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Obligor, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Obligor or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No 168 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 13.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement 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 any Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The 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 it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 12.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 13.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of their receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article X; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the 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 they shall deem advisable. 13.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Obligors or any of their Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 13.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 14.10; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to such Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall ratably reimburse the Agent upon demand for its share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether 169 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 13.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Bank were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Bank and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Obligors, their Affiliates and Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Obligors, such Affiliates or such Account Debtors) and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent and the Bank shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Bank in its individual capacity. 13.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers’ Agent, such resignation to be effective at the end of such 30-day period (or such earlier date on which a successor agent shall have accepted its appointment or as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders). In the event the Bank sells all of its Loans and/or Commitments as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Bank of substantially all of its loan portfolio, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the successor Agent hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, if the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders (with the prior consent of the Borrowers’ Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and such consent not to be required if an Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (a), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 10.1 has occurred and is continuing) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be a Lender and a commercial bank, commercial finance company or other asset-based lender having total assets in excess of $5,000,000,000. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers’ Agent, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Notwithstanding the above, no successor Agent may be incorporated, domiciled or established in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction without the prior consent of the Borrowers’ Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIII and Section 14.10 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 13.10 Withholding Tax. (a) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding Tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 5.1(f) or Section 5.1(h) are not delivered to the Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent (or, in the case of Section 5.1(h), the Agent only), then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax. (b) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including, for the avoidance of doubt, penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this 170 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Section 13.10, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. (c) Each Lender hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it is and at all relevant times will be dealing at arm’s length for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) with the Canadian Borrowers and the Agent. 13.11 Collateral Matters. (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent (and if applicable, any subagent appointed by the Agent under Section 13.2 or otherwise), and the Agent (and if applicable, any subagent appointed by the Agent under Section 13.2 or otherwise) shall hereby have the obligation to release, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to release (if any) set forth herein, including the continuance of the applicable Agent’s Lien on any proceeds of released Collateral, any such Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral (i) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold, transferred or disposed of (to any Person that is not an Obligor), if the sale, transfer or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (which shall, upon reasonable request by the Agent, be certified by the Borrowers’ Agent, and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certification without further inquiry; provided that no certification shall be required at any time with respect to any sales of items of Rental Equipment in the ordinary course of business so long as such Agent’s Lien continues in the proceeds of such Collateral); (iii) constituting property in which the Obligors owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to an Obligor under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; (v) constituting Relinquished Property, if such Relinquished Property shall have been delivered to the applicable Qualified Intermediary in accordance with the applicable exchange agreement and a first priority perfected security interest shall have been granted by the applicable exchanger to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a first priority perfected security interest in the rights of such exchanger in, to and under the related exchange agreement; (vi) constituting any Like-Kind Exchange Account; (vii) subject to Section 7.20(b), constituting property being sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred pursuant to any Securitization Transaction; (viii) being or becoming an Excluded Asset (as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement or the Canadian Security Agreement, as applicable); or (ix) constituting property that is owned by a Guarantor that has been released from its obligations under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement or the Canadian Guarantee Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 13.11 or Section 4.3(h). Except as provided above or in Section 12.1, the Agent will not release any of such Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, in addition to the foregoing, (x) the Agent may, in its discretion, release such Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued, in the aggregate for any such release, not in excess of (A) the greater of (1) $331,000,000 and (2) 3% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, or (B) if after giving effect to such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition on a pro forma basis Specified Availability is at least $1,000,000,000, the greater of (1) $551,000,000 and (2) 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; and (y) the Agent may release the Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $200,000,000 during each Fiscal Year with the prior written authorization of Required Lenders, so long as all proceeds received in connection with any such release under clause (x) or (y) above are applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.6 and, after giving effect to the application of such proceeds and the updating of the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as the case may be, to reflect the deletion of any assets subject to such release, U.S. Availability or Canadian Availability, as the case may be, shall be no less than the U.S. Availability or the Canadian Availability, as the case may be, immediately prior to such release. In addition, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to (I) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.1(d) and (II) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement or the Canadian Guarantee Agreement (1) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, (2) as provided in Section 4.3(h) with respect to the obligations of the Canadian Guarantors to guarantee the Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers or (3) as provided in Section 12.1. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrowers at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate the applicable Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations pursuant to this Section 13.11(a). 171 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(b) Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section 13.11(a) from the Required Lenders of the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate the applicable Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement or the Canadian Guarantee Agreement, and upon prior written request by the Borrowers, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of such Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral or to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement or the Canadian Guarantee Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens or Guarantee without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Obligors in respect of) all interests retained by the Obligors, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of such Collateral. (c) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Obligors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the applicable Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing. 13.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Required Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Required Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Obligor or any accounts of any Obligor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against any Obligor, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the applicable Collateral. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of any Obligor to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly (x) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (y) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. If following the occurrence of an Event of Default and realization upon the Collateral and the Guarantee Agreements, any Lender shall have suffered or incurred a loss not recovered from available Collateral, each Lender shall make such payments to the others of them so that the loss is shared by all Lenders in accordance with each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, subject to any agreement by any applicable Lenders as to the priority of their respective rights of distribution from such Collateral. 172 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
13.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with the UCC or the PPSA or under other applicable law, as applicable, may be perfected by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. 13.14 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the applicable Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each such Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Agreement Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, interest or fees on the Loans or otherwise. Unless the Agent receives notice from the applicable Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that such Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that such Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers have not made such payment in full to the Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid (a) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (b) in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the greater of the interest rate charged by the Bank of Canada for one-day loans and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (c) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 13.15 Settlement; Defaulting Lenders. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.10, each Lender’s funded portion of the applicable Loans is intended by the applicable Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding applicable Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, the Bank, and the other applicable Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the applicable Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the applicable Loans (including the applicable Swingline Loans and the applicable Agent Advances) shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, this Section 13.15(a) shall not apply to French Swingline Loans or ROW Swingline Loans (and each reference in this Section 13.15(a) to a “Swingline Loan” or the “Swingline Loans” shall be deemed not to include or refer to French Swingline Loans or ROW Swingline Loans): (i) The Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the applicable Lenders at least once every two weeks, or on a more frequent basis at the Agent’s election, (x) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each applicable outstanding Swingline Loan, (y) for itself, with respect to each applicable Agent Advance, and (z) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy or other electronic communication, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Bank, in the case of applicable Swingline Loans, and the Agent, in the case of applicable Agent Advances) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Swingline Loans and the applicable Agent Advances with respect to each Settlement to the Agent, to the Agent’s account, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Settlement Date applicable thereto. Settlements shall occur during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IX have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available by the applicable Lenders to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loan or Agent Advance representing the Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall cease to constitute 173 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Swingline Loans or Agent Advances, but shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount (on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan, and for itself, with respect to each applicable Agent Advance) on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon (A) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (B) in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the greater of the interest rate charged by the Bank of Canada for one-day loans and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (C) in the case of amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, as applicable, in each case for the first three days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, for amounts due in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, or the Interest Rate then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, for amounts due in Canadian Dollars. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to an applicable Swingline Loan or applicable Agent Advance), each other applicable Lender (x) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Agent Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Agent Advance and (y) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Swingline Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, shall pay to the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to 100% of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any applicable Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount (on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan, and for itself, with respect to each applicable Agent Advance) on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon (A) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (B) in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the greater of the interest rate charged by the Bank of Canada for one-day loans and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (C) in the case of amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, as applicable, in each case for the first three days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, for amounts due in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, or the Interest Rate then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, for amounts due in Canadian Dollars. (iii) Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, as applicable, to the contrary, from and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any applicable Swingline Loan or applicable Agent Advance pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan or Agent Advance. (iv) Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no applicable Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any payments received by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the applicable Loans, for application to the Bank’s Loans, including applicable Swingline Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Bank’s Loans (other than to applicable Swingline Loans or applicable Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to clause (ii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, the Bank shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders, to be applied to the applicable outstanding Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Bank with respect to applicable Swingline Loans, the Agent with respect to applicable Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the applicable Loans other than applicable Swingline Loans and applicable Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest 174 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by the Bank, the Agent and the other Lenders, respectively. (v) Unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender to the contrary, the Agent may assume that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IX have been satisfied. (b) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.10, all Loans (other than Swingline Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares thereof. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any applicable Loans hereunder, nor shall any applicable Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several. (c) Defaulting Lenders. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share to the Agent in immediately available funds, and the Agent has transferred the corresponding amount to the applicable Borrowers, on the Business Day following such Funding Date such Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest for that day (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the greater of the interest rate charged by the Bank of Canada for one-day loans and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (iii) in the case of amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice by the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If each Lender’s full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Agent as required, the amount transferred to the Agent shall constitute that Lender’s applicable Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is not transferred to the Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify the Borrowers’ Agent of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the applicable Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the applicable Loans comprising that particular Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any applicable Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make an applicable Loan on that Funding Date. No Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to advance such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: (i) no Unused Line Fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to clause (iv)(E) below); (ii) in determining the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Loans and/or Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded; (iii) the Company shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort, (i) to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Company to each become a substitute Lender and assume all or part of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Defaulting Lender and the Company, the Agent and 175 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or (ii) upon notice to the Agent, to prepay the Loans and, at the Company’s option, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; (iv) if any Swingline Loans exist or any Letters of Credit exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (A) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any outstanding Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be re-allocated among the applicable non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ utilized applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case before giving effect to each reallocation) plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments; (B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall within one Business Day (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Agent) following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any outstanding Swingline Loans and (y) second, cash collateralize with cash and/or Cash Equivalents such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any outstanding Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding; (C) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit Fee for participation with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Letters of Credit so long as it is cash collateralized; (D) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Letters of Credit is re-allocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (A) above, then the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; or (E) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Letters of Credit is neither cash collateralized nor re-allocated pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder, the Unused Line Fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share that was utilized by such outstanding Letters of Credit) and the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Letters of Credit shall be payable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer until such outstanding Letters of Credit are cash collateralized and/or re-allocated; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, this Section 13.15(c)(iv) shall not apply to French Swingline Loans or ROW Swingline Loans (and each reference in this Section 13.15(c)(iv) to a “Swingline Loan” or the “Swingline Loans” shall be deemed not to include or refer to French Swingline Loans or ROW Swingline Loans); (v) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue, amend or increase any 176 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Letter of Credit, unless they are respectively reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, this Section 13.15(c)(v) shall not apply to French Swingline Loans or ROW Swingline Loans (and each reference in this Section 13.15(c)(v) to a “Swingline Loan” or the “Swingline Loans” or to a “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed not to include or refer to French Swingline Loans or the French Swingline Lender, or ROW Swingline Loans or the ROW Swingline Lender, respectively); and (vi) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.12(b)) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirement of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent (1) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder, (2) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Swingline Lender hereunder, (3) third, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent, (4) fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (5) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (6) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender. (d) In the event that the Agent, the Borrowers’ Agent, each applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and each applicable Swingline Lender, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Pro Rata Share of any outstanding Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit of the Lenders that have been adjusted pursuant to Section 13.15(c) shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Subject to Section 14.26, the rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 13.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Swingline Lenders and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 13.15 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise. 13.16 Letters of Credit; Intra-Lender Issues. (a) Notice of Letter of Credit Balance. On each Settlement Date the Agent shall notify each Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit, in each case, since the prior Settlement Date. In addition, upon the reasonable request of a Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender from time to time, the Agent shall provide such Lender with a list of the then outstanding Letters of Credit. (b) Participations in Letters of Credit. (i) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.4(d), each Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and 177 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to the Equivalent Amount in Dollars of such Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share in respect of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (as of the date of issuance), in connection with the issuance or acceptance of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of the applicable Borrowers with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto). (ii) Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the Agent receives a payment from any Borrower on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit as to which the Agent has previously received for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender, the Agent shall promptly pay to such Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender such Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share in respect of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments of such payment from the applicable Borrower. Each such payment shall be made by the Agent on the next Settlement Date. (iii) Documentation. Upon the request of any applicable Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender, the Agent shall furnish to such Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith, applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other documentation relating to such Letter of Credit as may reasonably be requested by such Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender. (iv) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each applicable Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender to make payments to the Agent with respect to any applicable Letter of Credit or with respect to their participation therein or, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.10, with respect to the U.S. Revolving Loans, the ROW Revolving Loans or the Canadian Revolving Loans, as applicable, made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of the applicable Borrowers for whose account the Letter of Credit was issued to make payments to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders, shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the applicable Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender, the Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any applicable Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the applicable Borrowers or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or (F) the failure of the Borrowers to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IX. 178 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(c) Recovery or Avoidance of Payments; Refund of Payments In Error. In the event any payment by or on behalf of the applicable Borrowers received by the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit and distributed by the Agent to the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders on account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Agent or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders shall, upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent their respective applicable Pro Rata Shares in respect of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Agent or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer upon the amount required to be repaid by it. Unless the Agent receives notice from the applicable Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders that the applicable Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower(s) have made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such applicable Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender. If and to the extent the applicable Borrower(s) have not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender until the date repaid (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the greater of the interest rate charged by the Bank of Canada for one-day loans and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (iii) in the case of amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. (d) Indemnification by Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders. To the extent not reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of the applicable Borrowers hereunder, the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lenders agree to indemnify the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in respect of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Letter of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection therewith; provided that no Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Pro Rata Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share in respect of the Pro Rata Revolving Credit Commitments of any costs or expenses payable by the applicable Borrowers to such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that such Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the applicable Borrowers. The agreement contained in this Section 13.16(d) shall survive payment in full of all other Obligations. 13.17 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents, including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Loans, applicable Agent Advances, applicable Swingline Loans, Bank Products (including all Hedge Agreements) and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Indebtedness, secured pari passu by all of the applicable Collateral, subject to the order of distribution set forth in Section 4.6. (b) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into (i) the Security Documents, (ii) any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (iii) any 179 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
amendments to, waivers of or supplements to or other modifications of the Security Documents or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, in each case with respect to the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), in connection with the incurrence by any Obligor of Incremental Indebtedness, Refinancing Loans, or other Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or 8.2(ii) (each, an “Intercreditor Agreement Supplement”) to permit such Incremental Indebtedness, Refinancing Loans, or other Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected Lien on Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Obligor, as and to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) (it being agreed that any Lien securing such Indebtedness (other than Incremental Indebtedness and Refinancing Loans) shall be granted pursuant to security documents separate from the Security Documents) and (iv) any Incremental Commitment Amendment, any Lender Joinder Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment as provided in Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7, respectively, and any amendment as provided in Section 1.2(b). Each Lender hereby agrees, and each participant in a Letter of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, any applicable intercreditor agreement, including any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, any Incremental Commitment Amendment, any Lender Joinder Agreement, any Extension Amendment or any Refinancing Amendment and the exercise by the Agent or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. 13.18 Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender: (a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of the Agent; (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Bank nor the Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or the Bank or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the applicable Obligors and will rely significantly upon the applicable Obligors’ books and records, as well as on representations of the applicable Obligors’ personnel; (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 13.19 Relation Among Lenders.

13.20 Arrangers; Agent. (a) Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that, other than any rights and duties explicitly assigned to the Arrangers under this Agreement, the Arrangers do not have any obligations hereunder and shall not be responsible or accountable to any other party hereto for any action or failure to act hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, no Arranger shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. (b) No Lender identified on the facing page of this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent” or a “Co-Documentation Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender identified as a “Co-Syndication Agent” or a “Co-Documentation Agent” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 13.21 The Register. (a) The Agent shall maintain a register (each, a “Register”), which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for each applicable Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period or BA EquivalentTerm CORRA Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrowers to each Lender hereunder or under the notes payable by the applicable Borrowers to such Lender, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the applicable Borrowers or any other Obligor and each Lender’s ratable share thereof. Each Register shall be available for inspection by the applicable Borrowers or any applicable Lender (with respect to its own interest only) at the respective offices of the Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of the Agent to record in the applicable Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the applicable Borrowers hereunder (or under any Loan Document) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against the Agent. The Obligations and Letters of Credit are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Lender and their assignees in and to such Obligations and Letters of Credit as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the applicable Register. Solely for purposes of this Section 13.21 and for Tax purposes only, the Agent shall be the applicable Borrowers’ agent for purposes of maintaining the applicable Register (but the Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any applicable Borrower or any other Person on account of any inaccuracies contained in the applicable Register). This Section 13.21 shall be construed so that the Obligations and Letters of Credit are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). (b) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any Loan, Commitment or other interest of such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Obligations held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Obligations which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). An Obligation may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Obligations may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. For the avoidance of doubt the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 181 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
13.22 Québec Collateral. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Agent or any other Person acting as mandatary (agent) of the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Canadian Security Documents, each of the Canadian Secured Parties hereby irrevocably constitutes the Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) of all present and future Canadian Secured Parties in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by any Canadian Obligor or U.S. Obligor on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec in order to secure obligations of any Canadian Obligor or U.S. Obligor under any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness, issued by any Canadian Obligor or U.S. Obligor, and hereby agrees that the Agent may act as the bondholder and mandatary (i.e. agent) with respect to any shares, capital stock or other securities or any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness that may be issued by any Canadian Obligor or U.S. Obligor and pledged in favour of the Agent, for the benefit of the Canadian Secured Parties. The execution by the Agent, acting as fondé de pouvoir and mandatary, prior to this Agreement of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified and confirmed. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), the Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond or debenture issued by any Canadian Obligor or U.S. Obligor (i.e. the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of hypothec by any Canadian Obligor or U.S. Obligor). The constitution of the Agent as fondé de pouvoir and as bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond, debenture, shares, capital stock or other securities that may be issued and pledged from time to time to the Agent for the benefit of the Canadian Secured Parties, shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person accepting an assignment of, a participation in or an arrangement in respect of, all or any portion of any Canadian Secured Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes such assignee or participant, and by each successor Agent by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, or by the compliance with other formalities, as the case may be, pursuant to which it becomes a successor Agent under this Agreement. The Agent acting as fondé de pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Agent acting as fondé de pouvoir. Each Borrower acknowledges that any bond or other similar instrument executed by it or any other Canadian Obligor or U.S. Obligor shall constitute a title of indebtedness as such expression is defined in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec. The Agent accepts to act as fondé de pouvoir of the Canadian Secured Parties. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Agent or any other Person acting as mandatary (agent) of the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Canadian Security Documents, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the applicable Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Agent under any related deed of hypothec. The Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Agent pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable Law. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Agent as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Agent in such capacity. The substitution of the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIII also constitute the substitution of the Agent as hypothecary representative as aforesaid. For the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code of Québec between each Secured Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, each Secured Obligor and each such Secured Party acknowledge and agree with the Agent that such Secured Party and the Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each such Secured Obligor in respect of all Canadian Obligations owed by each such Secured Obligor to the Agent and such Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”) and that, accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Québec, each such Secured Obligor is irrevocably bound towards the Agent and each Secured Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured 182 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Agent and each Secured Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party and the right to give full acquittance for it. Accordingly, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, as solidary creditor with each Secured Party, shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action in respect of the Solidary Claim and the right to give a full acquittance for same. By its execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, each such Secured Obligor not a party hereto shall also be deemed to have accepted the stipulations hereinabove provided. The parties further agree and acknowledge that such Liens (hypothecs) under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be granted to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth. 13.23 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any Guarantor, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more 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, (ii) 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, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) 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, (C) 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 sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) 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 (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (i) paragraph (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (ii) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Obligor, that the 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 Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 183 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
(c) The Agent and the Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender, and (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing. 13.24 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer (each, a “Credit Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Credit Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Credit Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Credit Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Agent shall inform each Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. ARTICLE XIV MISCELLANEOUS 14.1 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement hereto, or in any other agreement between or among the Obligors and the Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by the Obligors of any provision of this Agreement. The Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. The Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have. 14.2 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. 14.3 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN IN REGARD TO THE VALIDITY, PERFECTION OR EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF ANY LIEN OR IN REGARD TO PROCEDURAL MATTERS AFFECTING 184 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (i) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR OR ANY PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS AND (ii) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.

Except for Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim, each Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its benefit, on demand, all reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Agent pays or incurs in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, consummation, administration, enforcement, and termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including: (a) Attorney Costs; (b) reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses for any amendment, supplement, waiver, consent, or subsequent closing in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; (c) reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of lien and title searches and title insurance; (d) documented, out-of-pocket Taxes, and reasonable and documented fees and other charges for filing financing statements and continuations and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agent’s Liens (including reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent in connection with the consummation of this Agreement); (e) reasonable sums paid or incurred to pay any amount or take any action required of the Obligors under the Loan Documents that the Obligors fail to pay or take; (f) reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket costs of appraisals (including all Appraisals), inspections, and verifications of the Collateral, including travel, lodging, and meals for inspections of the Collateral and the Obligors’ operations by the Agent plus the Agent’s then customary charge for field examinations and audits and the preparation of reports thereof (such charge is currently $1,100 per day (or portion thereof) for each Person employed by the Agent with respect to each field examination or audit); and (g) reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining Payment Accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the applicable Collateral. In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay, during or after the existence of an Event of Default, (i) on demand to the Agent, for its benefit, all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent (including Attorney Costs), and (ii) to the Lenders (other than the applicable Bank), on demand, all reasonable and actual fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by the applicable Lenders for one law firm retained by such Lenders (and, in the event of any conflict of interest among Lenders, one additional law firm for Lenders subject to such conflict), in each case, paid or incurred to obtain payment of the Obligations, enforce the Agent’s Liens, sell or otherwise realize upon the applicable Collateral, and otherwise enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents, or to defend any claims made or threatened against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters).

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no interest herein may be assigned (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted hereunder) by any Borrower or any Guarantor without prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender. The rights and benefits of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall, if such Persons so agree, inure to any party acquiring any interest in the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. 14.10 Indemnity of the Agent and the Lenders. The Obligors agree to defend, indemnify and hold all Agent-Related Persons, each Arranger and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel, representatives, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits (whether brought by a Borrower or any other Person), costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs and reasonable legal costs and expenses of the Lenders for one law firm retained by such Lenders (and, in the event of any conflict of interest among Lenders, one additional law firm in each relevant jurisdiction for Lenders subject to such conflict)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a Contaminant relating to any Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s or any of their Subsidiaries’ 188 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2

The agreements in this Section 14.10 shall survive payment of all other Obligations. 14.11 Limitation of Liability. NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR, ANY LENDER OR OTHER PERSON AGAINST ANY BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, COUNSEL, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENT OR ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT OF ANY OF THEM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND EACH BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR. 14.12 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the Obligors, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof except for the Fee Letters. 14.13 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the Agent, each Lender and the Obligors in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed by facsimile or other electronic communication and the effectiveness of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and signatures thereon shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all parties thereto. The Agent may require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof, provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile signature. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including amendments or other modifications, notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, 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; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. 189 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
14.14 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision. 14.15 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower or any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by each Obligor to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS. 14.16 Confidentiality. (a) The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the Agent and each Lender may, in each case with the prior written consent of the Borrowers’ Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), issue and disseminate to the public general information describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of the Borrowers and a general description of the Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ business and may use the Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ names in advertising and other promotional material. (b) Each Lender and the Agent severally agrees to keep confidential all information relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (i) provided to the Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (ii) obtained by the Agent or such Lender based on a review of the books and records of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such information (x) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Agent or such Lender or any Affiliates thereof, or (y) was or becomes available on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers or the Guarantors other than by breach of this Section 14.16, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrowers or the Guarantors known to the Agent or such Lender; provided, however, that the Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (in the case of items (A) through (B) below, except for any routine examination by any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority, after notice to the Borrowers’ Agent, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable law) (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority) to which the Agent or such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of the Agent or such Lender by any such Governmental Authority or regulatory authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy proceeding) to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors, accountants, attorneys, other professional advisors and service providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder); (G) to any prospective Participant or Assignee under any Assignment and Acceptance, actual or potential, provided that such prospective Participant or Assignee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder; (H) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which a Borrower or a Guarantor is a party or is deemed a party with the Agent or such Lender; and (I) to its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of 190 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
such information and shall agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder). 14.17 Conflicts with Other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (or in another Loan Document by specific reference to the applicable provision contained in this Agreement), if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other Loan Document, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control. 14.18 Collateral Matters. Each of the Agent and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that, fixture filings have not and will not be made under the provisions of the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable Requirements of Law in any jurisdiction both because of the administrative difficulty of determining whether any item of Rental Equipment is or becomes a fixture and the inability of the applicable Obligors to provide the relevant information that would be required in order to make such filings. 14.19 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Bank, the Arrangers, the Lenders and each of their Affiliates through which they may be acting (collectively, the “Applicable Entities”), on the other hand, have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of any Applicable Entity, and each Obligor expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship. 14.20 Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Agent could purchase in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Obligor agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Obligor agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 14.20 means the spot rate at which the Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase. 14.21 Incremental Indebtedness; Extended Commitments; Extended Loans; Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans; Additional First Lien Debt. In connection with the incurrence by any Borrower of any Incremental Indebtedness, Extended Commitments, Extended Loans, Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans, the Agent agrees to execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document or intercreditor agreement, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably deemed by Holdings to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of any Obligor permitted to secure such Incremental Facility, Extended Commitments, Extended Loans, Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Obligor, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified or otherwise. In connection with the incurrence by any Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness that is intended to be secured on a pari passu basis, upon the written request of the Borrowers’ Agent, the Agent agrees to provide written consent to the Company with respect to the designation of such Indebtedness as “Additional First Lien Debt” (or any similar term) under any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, so long as (a) the Liens securing such Indebtedness are permitted pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or 8.2(ii) and (b) the Agent shall have received an officer’s certificate from the Company designating such Indebtedness as “Additional First Lien Debt” (or any similar term) under such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and certifying that such Indebtedness is “Additional First Lien Obligations” (or any similar 191 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
term) under such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement permitted to be so incurred in accordance with each of the First Lien Documents and each of the Second Lien Documents (or any similar term) (as defined in such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement). 14.22 Lenders. Each Lender (a) severally represents and warrants that, as of the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, such Lender (i) is a United States person for purposes of the Code or (ii) has complied with the provisions of Section 5.1(f), and (b) covenants and agrees that at all material times such Lender will (i) continue to be a United States person for purposes of the Code or (ii) continue to comply with the ongoing requirements of Section 5.1(f). Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers’ Agent in writing upon becoming aware that it is not in compliance with this Section 14.22. 14.23 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Obligor in accordance with the Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation or other applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 14.24 Amendment and Restatement; Reaffirmation. (a) The Borrowers hereby confirm and agree that all Obligations outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement immediately prior to the amendment and restatement thereof as contemplated hereby (such Obligations, the “Existing Loan Agreement Obligations”) shall, unless and until paid, continue to remain outstanding under this Agreement and shall not constitute new Obligations incurred by any of the Borrowers on or after the Closing Date. The Borrowers hereby confirm that all Existing Loan Agreement Obligations are due and owing without offset, defense, counterclaim or recoupment of any kind or nature and as of the Closing Date, none of the Obligors or any of their respective Affiliates has offset rights, counterclaims or defenses of any kind against any of their respective obligations, indebtedness or liabilities under the Existing Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement). As of the Closing Date, immediately prior to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement contemplated herein, there exists no Default or Event of Default under and as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement. (b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Existing Loan Agreement be amended and restated so as to preserve the perfection and priority of all Liens securing indebtedness and obligations of the Obligors under the Existing Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) and that this Agreement does not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities of the Obligors existing under the Existing Loan Agreement. (c) Each of Holdings, each Borrower and each other Guarantor (collectively, the “Reaffirming Loan Parties”) hereby acknowledges that it expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Reaffirming Loan Party hereby confirms its respective guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall, to the extent provided in the Loan Documents, accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties in respect of, and to secure, the applicable Obligations. Each Reaffirming Loan Party hereby reaffirms its obligations under each provision of each Loan Document to which it is party. 14.25 Waiver of Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each Obligor waives presentment, and notice of demand or dishonor and protest as to any instrument, notice of intent to accelerate the Obligations and notice of acceleration of the Obligations, as well as any and all other notices to which it might 192 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
otherwise be entitled. No notice to or demand on any Obligor which the Agent or any applicable Lender may elect to give shall entitle any Obligor to any or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 14.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) the reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. 14.27 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Obligor or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Obligor for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-terrorism Laws and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (such Act and such other anti-terrorism Laws, applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), then the Agent: (a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and (b) shall provide to each Lender, copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each Lender agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Obligors or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Obligors on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Canadian Obligor or any such authorized signatory in doing so. 14.28 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Obligations 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 193 [[5848018]][[DMS:6312716v7:05/07/2024--04:04 PM]] 4861-2153-1574 v.2


 
Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 14.29 Australian Banking Code of Practice. The parties hereto agree that the Australian Banking Code of Practice (published by the Australian Banking Association, as amended, revised or amended and restated from time to time) does not apply to the Loan Documents, nor the transactions under them.
