“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Currency at such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

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

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.16 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.16.

Each Domestic Lender will make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its pro rata share of each such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Company or the relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 P.M. (or, in the case of an ABR Loan requested on the proposed Borrowing Date, 3:00 P.M.), New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested (or deemed requested) by the Company or the relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 3.5 (where the proceeds of such borrowing shall be applied to repay the related Reimbursement

Obligation), such borrowing will then be made available to the Company or the relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Company or the relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower on the books of such office or such other account as the Company or the relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower may specify to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Domestic Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Multicurrency Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Multicurrency Lender severally agrees to make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) revolving loans (“Multicurrency Loans”) in Dollars or any Optional Currency to the Company, GMF or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period of such Multicurrency Lender; provided, that, after giving effect to such borrowing and the use of proceeds thereof, (i) such Lender’s Multicurrency Extensions of Credit do not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitments, (ii) the Total Multicurrency Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Multicurrency Commitments then in effect and (iii) the Total Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Commitments then in effect. During the Commitment Period of the applicable Multicurrency Lenders for the Multicurrency Facility, the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower may use the Multicurrency Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Multicurrency Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Multicurrency Loans shall be Term Benchmark Loans or (if made to the Company and denominated in Dollars) Daily Simple SOFR Loans or ABR Loans, in each case, as notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.4 and 2.12.

(b) The Company and, to the extent of its borrowings, any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall repay all outstanding Multicurrency Loans of a Lender on the Termination Date for such Lender under the Multicurrency Facility.

2.4 Procedure for Multicurrency Loan Borrowing. The Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower may borrow under the Multicurrency Commitments during the applicable Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided, that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) in the case of any Multicurrency Loan denominated in Dollars, a written Borrowing Request prior to (a) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans, 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date or (b) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing, in the case of ABR Loans requested by the Company, (y) in the case of any Multicurrency Loan denominated in an Optional Currency (other than Japanese Yen), a written Borrowing Request prior to 1:00 P.M., London time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date and (z) in the case of any Multicurrency Loan denominated in Japanese Yen, a written Borrowing Request prior to 1:00 P.M., London time, four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in each case, specifying (a) the amount, Type and Currency of Multicurrency Loans to be borrowed, (b) the requested Borrowing Date and (c) the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period(s) therefor, if applicable; provided further, that, any such Borrowing Request submitted by a Subsidiary Borrower shall include the written consent of the Company. If no election as to the Type of a Multicurrency Loan denominated in Dollars and requested by the Company is specified in any such notice, then the requested borrowing shall be a Daily Simple SOFR Loan. If no Interest Period with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan is specified in any such notice, then the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of 5 million of the relevant Currency and no less than an amount which is equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $25 million (or, if the Total Available Multicurrency Commitments are less than $25 million at such time, such lesser amount). Upon receipt of any such notice from the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower, the Administrative

Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Lender holding Multicurrency Commitments of such notice. Each Multicurrency Lender holding Multicurrency Commitments will make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower at the Funding Office prior to (x) in the case of any Multicurrency Loan denominated in Dollars, 1:00 P.M. (or, in the case of an ABR Loan requested on the proposed Borrowing Date, 3:00 P.M.), New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower and (y) in the case of any Multicurrency Loan denominated in an Optional Currency, 2:00 P.M., London time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower on the books of such office or such other account as the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower may specify to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Multicurrency Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.6 [Reserved].

2.7 [Reserved].

2.8 Facility Fees, etc. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) for the account of each Domestic Lender and Multicurrency Lender for the period from and including the Closing Date (or such later date as of which such Lender shall become a Lender under the Domestic Facility or Multicurrency Facility, as applicable) to the date on which all Extensions of Credit of such Lender under such Facility have been paid in full (or Collateralized) and the Commitments of such Lender under such Facility have been terminated, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitments of such Domestic Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as applicable (whether used or unused) under such Facility or, if such Commitments have been terminated, on the daily average Extensions of Credit of such Lender under such Facility during the related Fee Payment Period for which payment is made, payable in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, dated as of January 25, 2023.

2.9 Termination, Reduction and Reallocation of Commitments.

(a) The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments under any Facility or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of Commitments under any Facility; provided, that no such termination or reduction of such Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans (if applicable) made on the effective date thereof, (w) the Total Domestic Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Domestic Commitments then in effect, (x) the Domestic Extensions of Credit of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Domestic Commitment then in effect or (y) the Total Multicurrency Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Multicurrency Commitments then in effect. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $25

million or a whole multiple of $10 million in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect under such Facility. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice to terminate any Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a Change of Control, in which case, such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation of a termination notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.20 for any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence thereof.

(b) The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to require the Lenders under the Multicurrency Facility to reallocate the Multicurrency Commitments to the Domestic Facility; provided, that (i) after giving effect to any such reallocation, in the case of a reallocation of Multicurrency Commitments, (A) the Total Multicurrency Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Multicurrency Commitments then in effect and (B) the Multicurrency Extensions of Credit of any Lender shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitments then in effect and (ii) such reallocation with respect to any Lender shall have been consented to by each Material Issuing Lender to the extent such consent would be required for an assignment to such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6(b). Except as provided in Section 2.22, any such reallocation shall be in an amount equal to $25 million or a whole multiple of $1 million in excess thereof. Any such reallocation shall reduce the Multicurrency Commitment of Lenders pro rata in accordance with their existing Multicurrency Commitments at such time and increase such Lender’s Domestic Commitment by such amount; provided, that if such reallocation would result in amounts being payable by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower to any Lender under Section 2.18 or 2.19, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (subject to Section 2.21) to change its Applicable Lending Office to avoid such result. On the date of any such reallocation, (i) each relevant Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such increased Domestic Commitments and the application of such amounts to prepay Domestic Loans of other Domestic Lenders, the Domestic Loans to be held ratably by all Domestic Lenders in accordance with their respective Domestic Commitments after giving effect to such reallocation, (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Domestic Loans and (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Domestic Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.20 as a result of such prepayment.

(c) The Company may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, request that one or more of the Lenders under the Domestic Facility reallocate a portion of their respective Domestic Commitments to the Multicurrency Facility; provided, that, after giving effect to any such reallocation and any prepayment of the Domestic Loans (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, may include a non pro rata prepayment of the Lenders agreeing to such reallocation), (A) the Total Domestic Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Domestic Commitments then in effect and (B) the Domestic Extensions of Credit of any Lender shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Domestic Commitments then in effect. Each notice from the Company pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall set forth the requested amount of such reallocation and date of such reallocation (which shall be at least three Business Days after the date of such request) and shall also set forth the agreement of the relevant Domestic Lenders to such reallocation. The relevant Lenders agreeing to reallocate a portion of their Domestic Commitments to the Multicurrency Facility shall have such portion of their Domestic Commitment reallocated as provided in such notice. On the date of any such reallocation, (i) each relevant Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine is necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such reallocation and the application of such amounts to prepay Multicurrency Loans of the other Multicurrency Lenders, the Multicurrency Loans to be held ratably by all

Multicurrency Lenders in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Commitments after giving effect to such reallocation, (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Multicurrency Loans and (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.20 as a result of such prepayment(s). Notwithstanding anything in this clause (c) to the contrary, no Domestic Lender shall be obligated to reallocate any portion of its Domestic Commitments to the Multicurrency Facility unless such Lender agrees.

2.10 Optional Prepayments. The Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than (x) with respect to Domestic Loans, (i) 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans and (ii) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day of such prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans, (y) with respect to Multicurrency Loans (other than Multicurrency Loans denominated in Japanese Yen), 11:00 A.M., London time, three Business Days prior thereto and (z) respect to Multicurrency Loans denominated in Japanese Yen, 11:00 A.M., London time, four Business Days prior thereto, in each case which notice shall specify the applicable Facility, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Term Benchmark Loans, ABR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans; provided, that if a Term Benchmark Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20; provided, further, that such notice to prepay the Loans delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a Change of Control, in either case, which such notice may be revoked by the Company (by further notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation of a prepayment notice shall not affect the Company’s or any relevant Subsidiary Borrower’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.20 for any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given (and not revoked as provided herein), the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an integral multiple of 1 million units of the Currency of such Loan and no less than the Dollar Equivalent of $25 million.

2.11 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) On each Fee Payment Date on which any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency is outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Domestic Extensions of Credit as of the last day of the related Fee Payment Period. If, as of the last day of any Fee Payment Period, the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Domestic Extensions of Credit exceeds the Total Domestic Commitments then in effect by 5% or more, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and, within five Business Days of such notice, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall prepay Domestic Loans or Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an aggregate principal or face amount at least equal to such excess; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to determine the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Domestic Extensions of Credit as provided in this Section 2.11(a) shall not subject the Administrative Agent to any liability hereunder.

(b) On each Fee Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Total Multicurrency Extensions of Credit as of the last day of the related Fee Payment Period. If, as of the last day of any Fee Payment Period, the Total Multicurrency Extensions of Credit exceeds the Total Multicurrency Commitments then in effect by 5% or more, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and, within five Business Days of such notice, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall prepay Multicurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to determine the Total Multicurrency Extensions of Credit as provided in this Section 2.11(b) shall not subject the Administrative Agent to any liability hereunder.

2.12 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Company or any Subsidiary Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term Benchmark Loans in Dollars to Daily Simple SOFR Loans or ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided, that any such conversion of Term Benchmark Loans that is not made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto shall be subject to Section 2.20. The Company or any Subsidiary Borrower may elect from time to time to convert (x) Daily Simple SOFR Loans to ABR Loans or (y) ABR Loans to Daily Simple SOFR Loans, in each case, by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date. The Company or any Subsidiary Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided, that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars when (after giving effect to such Loan and to the application of proceeds thereof) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions (and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company within a reasonable amount of time of any such determination). Upon receipt of any such conversion notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender, the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower thereof.

(b) Any Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans; provided, that notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if (after giving effect to such Loan and to the application of proceeds thereof) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility or in its sole discretion, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, other than to the extent repaid, (i) each Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) each Term Benchmark Loan denominated in an Optional Currency under the applicable Facility shall be converted at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto to a Term Benchmark Loan with an Interest Period of one month; and provided, further, that if the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph such Loans shall be automatically continued as a Term Benchmark Loan, on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and shall have an Interest Period of the same duration as the expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such continuation notice (or any such automatic continuation), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender, the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower thereof.

2.13 Limitations on Term Benchmark and Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Term Benchmark Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that no more than 30 Term Benchmark Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Daily Simple SOFR Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that no more than 10 Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings shall be outstanding at any one time

Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Relevant Rate. Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the ABR or the Statutory Reserve Rate

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted TIBOR Rate or the TIBOR Rate, as applicable (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Optional Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted TIBOR Rate or the TIBOR Rate, as applicable, for the applicable Optional Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable Optional Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the relevant Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Borrowing Request that requests a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing and (B) for Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing for the relevant Benchmark, shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan in any Optional Currency is outstanding on the date of the

Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.16(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the relevant Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.14 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Loans shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an, ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan bear interest at the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Japanese Yen, the Japanese Prime Rate) for the applicable Optional Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Japanese Yen, the Japanese Prime Rate) for the applicable Optional Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Optional Currency shall, at the applicable Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the applicable Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Optional Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative 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 or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16.

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

(f) Upon the Company’s and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the applicable Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, or any request for the conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (i) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (ii) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event and (2) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Borrowing or (y) any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.16, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan bear interest at the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Japanese Yen, the Japanese Prime Rate) for the applicable Optional Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Japanese Yen, the Japanese Prime Rate) for the applicable Optional Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Optional Currency shall, at the applicable Borrower’s election prior to such day: (a) be prepaid by the applicable Borrower on such day or (b) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Optional Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time.

2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each borrowing of Loans under any Facility by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower from the Lenders under such Facility, each payment by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower on account of any Facility Fee or Letter of Credit Fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders under any Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective Percentages under such Facility, of the relevant Lenders in such Facility except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.22, 2.23, 2.25 and 2.27.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans under any Facility shall be made pro rata to the Lenders under such Facility according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans under such Facility then held by the Lenders under such Facility except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.22, 2.23, 2.25 and 2.27. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8, each such payment shall be paid in the relevant Currency in which such Loan was made.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 3:00 P.M., Local Time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, at the Funding Office, in the applicable Currency and in immediately available funds, except that payment of fronting fees owing to any Issuing Lender shall be made directly to the relevant Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, except as otherwise provided with respect to the payment of interest at the expiration of an Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan as provided in the proviso to the definition of Interest Period. If any payment on a Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

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

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

(f) Unless all of the Obligations have become due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), payments under the Guarantee shall be applied to the Obligations in such order of application as the Company may from time to time specify, subject however, to the provisions of Sections 2.17(a) and (b) (applied as if such payments were made by the Company) and Section 10.7.

(g) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Company and/or such Subsidiary Borrower evidencing the Loans of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit K (a “Note”), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

2.18 Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted EUIRIBOR Rate or Adjusted TIBOR Rate, as applicable; or

(ii) impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender or any interbank market any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender (or its affiliate, as the case may be) or Issuing Lender, by an amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender reasonably deems material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term Benchmark Loans, issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender, within 15 Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender or Issuing Lender as described below, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable (it being understood that the provisions set forth in

this Section 2.18(a) are not intended to derogate from the Company’s rights provided in Section 2.21 and Section 2.22). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled (including a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts).

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s, or an entity controlling such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s, capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such entity could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 Business Days after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (together with a reasonably detailed description and calculation of such amounts), the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such entity for such reduction (it being understood that the provisions set forth in this Section 2.18(b) are not intended to derogate from the Company’s rights provided in Sections 2.21 and 2.22).

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 submitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Lender to the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owing in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Issuing Lender shall be entitled to request any payment or amount under this Section 2.18 unless the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender is generally demanding payment (and certifies to the Company that it is generally demanding payment) under comparable provisions of its agreements with similarly situated borrowers of similar credit quality (provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to verify any such request of a Lender or Issuing Lender) and (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent or a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18 for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender notifies the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90 day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect, but not more than 180 days prior to the date that such notice was received by the Company and the relevant Subsidiary Borrower, if any. The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all interest thereon and fees payable hereunder.

2.19 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future Taxes, except as required by law. If any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any such amounts payable, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws. If such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made, the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes over to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly as practicable thereafter such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender) showing payment thereof. If (i) any Loan Party fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) any Loan Party fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or (iii) any Indemnified Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amount and any incremental taxes, interest, additions to tax, expenses or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), or any such direct imposition in the case of clause (iii). The indemnification payment under this Section 2.19 shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent makes a written demand therefor (together with a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts).

(d) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative 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 Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (A), (B) and (D) of Section 2.19(d)(ii)) 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,

(A) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Company, any relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1, Exhibit I-2, Exhibit I-3 or Exhibit I-4, as applicable, and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and

(B) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company, any relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(C) Each Lender shall deliver to the Company, any relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent, any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax 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 requirements of law to permit the Company, any relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company and any relevant Domestic Subsidiary Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company (and any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

(D) In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative 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 Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that 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 Section 2.19(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.19 (other than clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). Thereafter, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, inaccuracy or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender at any other time prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Company or any relevant Subsidiary Borrower. If any Commitment is reallocated in accordance with Section 2.9(b), then the relevant Lender (to whom such Commitment has been reallocated) shall deliver, on the effective date of such reallocation, all such forms that it is legally able to deliver.

(iii) With respect to each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prior to the first date any payment is due to be paid from or by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to it hereunder, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to such Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes imposed on such payment under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated or organized. If any

Commitment is reallocated in accordance with Section 2.9, then the relevant Lender (to whom such Commitment has been reallocated) shall deliver on the effective date of such reallocation, all such forms that it is legally able to deliver, including any form claiming a reduced rate of non-U.S. withholding tax on payments made by the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) If the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to (i) interfere with the right of the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it sees fit, (ii) obligate the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to claim any tax refund, (iii) require the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes or any computation in respect thereof which it deems in its sole discretion to be confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person, or (iv) require the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to do anything that would in its sole discretion prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(f) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company if it is required to do so under Section 2.19(a) or 10.5 and without limiting the obligation of the Company under Section 2.19(a) or 10.5 to do so) for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) Each Assignee shall be bound by this Section 2.19.

(h) The agreements in this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the other Loan Documents.

2.20 Indemnity. The Company and each relevant Subsidiary Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any actual loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans after the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term Benchmark Loans after the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower

has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans (or the conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan into a Loan of a different Type) on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.22. Such indemnification may include an amount up to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.20 submitted to the Company and the relevant Subsidiary Borrower, if any, by any Lender (together with a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts) shall be prima facie evidence thereof and shall be payable within 30 days of receipt of any such notice. The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the other Loan Documents.

2.21 Change of Applicable Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office, as applicable, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, do not cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer any material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.21 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Company or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a).

2.22 Replacement/Termination of Lenders. The Company shall be permitted (a) to replace with a replacement financial institution or terminate the Commitments under any applicable Facility and repay any outstanding Loans at par under such Facility (and any accrued interest and fees thereon) of a Defaulting Lender or any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (ii) fails to give its consent for any amendment, consent or waiver requiring the consent of 100% of the Lenders or all affected Lenders under such Facility (and such Lender is an affected Lender) and for which the Required Lenders or Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility, as applicable, have consented or (iii) fails to give its consent to an extension of the Termination Date to which the Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility have consented, (b) in the case of any Multicurrency Lender that fails to give its consent to the addition of a new Optional Currency to which the Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility have consented, to reallocate such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment to a Domestic Commitment pursuant to Section 2.9(b) (regardless of whether the amount of such Commitment is less than the minimum amount required under such section) and (c) in the case of any Multicurrency Lender that fails to give its consent to the addition of a new Borrower pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(i) to which the Administrative Agent has agreed, to reallocate such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment to a Domestic Commitment pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(regardless of whether the amount of such Commitment is less than the minimum amount required under such section); provided, in each case, that (A) the replacement financial institution or the Company, as applicable, shall purchase or repay at par, all Loans owing to such replaced or terminated Lender on or prior to the date of replacement or termination, and shall pay all accrued interest and fees thereon to such date, (B) unless otherwise agreed, the Company shall be liable to such replaced or terminated Lender under Section 2.20 if any Term Benchmark Loan

owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased or repaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (C) any replacement financial institution, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and if a Lender, shall not constitute a Defaulting Lender, (D) any replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided, that, unless otherwise agreed, the Company shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (E) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Company shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), as the case may be, and (F) any such replacement, termination and/or repayment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Company, any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall not have executed an Assignment and Assumption requested by the Company reflecting such permitted replacement, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such assignment three Business Days following receipt of notice from the Company of such replacement, and such deemed approval shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6 without any action by any other party hereto (including the Administrative Agent), and the Administrative Agent shall record the same.

2.23 Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding any provision of 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:

(a) Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8;

(b) such Defaulting Lender and the Commitment and Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Lenders, the Required Lenders, Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility or any directly affected Lender under such Facility have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, consent, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification that has the effect of (i) increasing the amount or extending the expiration date of all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or extending the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan held by such Defaulting Lender, (ii) forgiving or reducing any principal amount of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, or (iii) reducing the stated rate of any interest or fees payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or extending the scheduled date of any payment required hereunder (for the purpose of clarity, the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) shall not include any waiver of a mandatory prepayment and shall not preclude a waiver of applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates).

(i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time all or any part of the L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Domestic Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Domestic Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Domestic Extensions of Credit plus such L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all Domestic Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders’ Domestic Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower shall, at any time and from time to time following notice by the Administrative Agent, Collateralize for the benefit of each Issuing Lender that is not, itself, a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding or, if sooner, so long as such Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender (it being expressly understood and agreed that all accrued interest on such Collateralization shall be for the account of the Company or such applicable Subsidiary Borrower and shall be paid to the Company or such applicable Subsidiary Borrower at any time and from time to time upon its request therefor; provided, that no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing);

(iii) if the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, neither the Company nor any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are so Collateralized;

(iv) if the L/C Obligations of the Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8 and Section 3.3, as applicable, shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Domestic Percentages of the Domestic Commitments calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Domestic Percentage of the Domestic Commitments; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is neither reallocated nor Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Company or any relevant Subsidiary Borrower, the applicable Issuing Lender or any other Domestic Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are so reallocated and/or Collateralized; and

(d) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Obligations will be 100% covered by the Domestic Commitments of the Domestic Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders and/or Collateralized by the Company or any applicable Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.23 and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Domestic Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with this Section 2.23 (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) either (x) a Lender Insolvency Event with respect to the parent company of any Domestic Lender shall occur following the Closing Date or (y) the parent company of any Domestic Lender shall become the subject of a Bail-In Action following the Closing Date and, in each case, for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Domestic Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Domestic Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Domestic Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Domestic Lender hereunder.

In the event that a Domestic Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Company and each affected Issuing Lender stating that such Domestic Lender has become a Defaulting Lender. In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Company, each relevant Subsidiary Borrower and each affected Issuing Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Defaulting Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Obligations of the Domestic Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Domestic Commitment and, on such date, such Domestic Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans and/or participations in the L/C Obligations of the other Domestic Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Domestic Lender to hold such Domestic Loans and participations in the L/C Obligations in accordance with its Domestic Percentage of the Domestic Commitments.

2.24 Reallocation of Payments for the Account of Defaulting Lenders. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender under any Facility (whether voluntary or mandatory, at or prior to maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, in the case of the Domestic Facility only, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Lender hereunder (pro rata to the Issuing Lenders in accordance with the amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Lender); third, in the case of the Domestic Facility only, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Company or an Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan under the applicable Facility in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in an interest bearing deposit account and released from time to time in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under the applicable Facility (it being understood and agreed that the accrued interest thereon shall be held as additional collateral for such obligations); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders under such Facility and, in the case of the Domestic Facility only, the Issuing Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans under the applicable Facility of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender under the applicable Facility irrevocably consents hereto.

2.25 New Local Facilities. (a) The Company may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, request the Lenders with Commitments under any Facility to designate a portion of such Commitments to make Extensions of Credit denominated in Dollars and/or any Optional Currency in a jurisdiction outside of the United States pursuant

to a newly established sub-facility or sub-facilities under any Facility or a separate revolving facility hereunder (each, a “New Local Facility”); provided, that (i) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Local Facility Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, further, that no Lender shall be required to make Extensions of Credit in excess of its Commitment then in effect, and (ii) after giving effect to any such New Local Facility, the Total Domestic Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Domestic Commitments then in effect, the Total Multicurrency Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Multicurrency Commitments and the Extensions of Credit under any other Facility shall not exceed the Commitments then in effect under such Facility. Each New Local Facility shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of $25 million. Each notice from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.25 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant New Local Facility and the Facility or Facilities designated by the Company to be reduced as a result of the establishment of such New Local Facility. Lenders wishing to designate a portion of their Commitments under a designated Facility to a New Local Facility (each, a “New Local Facility Lender”) shall have such portion of their Commitment under such Facility designated to such New Local Facility on a pro rata basis in accordance with the aggregate Commitments of the other New Local Facility Lenders; provided, that no Lender may so reallocate its Commitments to a New Local Facility if such reallocation would result in amounts being payable by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower under Section 2.18 or 2.19 unless such Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office to avoid such a result or the Company otherwise consents. The designation of Commitments to any New Local Facility shall be made pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Local Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each New Local Facility Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.25 to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to transfer any portion of its Commitments to a New Local Facility unless it so agrees.

(b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 10.1(a), any Local Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any Lenders other than the New Local Facility Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to implement the provisions of this Section 2.25, a copy of which shall be made available to each Lender.

2.26 Incremental Commitments/Facilities. (a) The Company may from time to time notify the Administrative Agent that certain of the Lenders designated by the Company and/or that additional lenders shall be added to this Agreement as Incremental Lenders with Commitments for the purpose of either increasing the existing Commitments under any Facility (a “Commitment Increase”) or establishing an Incremental Facility by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Loan Activation Notice signed by such Lenders or such additional lenders and specifying (i) the respective Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders, (ii) the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date or Commitment Increase Date, and (iii) with respect to any Incremental Facility (A) the applicable Incremental Loan Maturity Date, (B) the Currency or Currencies available under such Incremental Facility, (C) the borrower(s) thereunder (which may be the Company and/or any Subsidiary Borrowers), (D) the Applicable Margin and other fees applicable to Incremental Loans and other extensions of credit to be made available under such Incremental Facility, and (E) any additional terms applicable to such Incremental Facility, including the borrowing procedures related thereto (in each case, as agreed between the Company and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Loans), and otherwise duly completed; provided, that after giving effect to such Commitment Increase or Incremental Facility (including the incurrence of any Incremental Loans on the applicable Commitment Increase Date or Incremental Facility Closing Date and use of proceeds thereof), (x) except in the case of an Incremental Facility, as otherwise agreed by the Lenders under such Facility, no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing and (y) the sum of the Total Commitments then in effect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Commitments), the 3-Year Total Commitments then in effect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any commitments under incremental facilities under the 3-Year Revolving Credit Agreement) and the aggregate amount of all Ancillary Commitments (under and as defined in the 3-Year Revolving Credit Agreement) then in effect shall not exceed $17.0 billion.

(b) Each Incremental Lender that is a signatory to an Incremental Loan Activation Notice severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving credit loans (each, an “Incremental Loan”) to the Company and/or the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time on or after the Incremental Facility Closing Date or Commitment Increase Date specified in such Incremental Loan Activation Notice in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Commitment of such Incremental Lender specified in such Incremental Loan Activation Notice, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Incremental Loan Activation Notice. Nothing in this Section 2.26 shall be construed to obligate any Lender to execute an Incremental Loan Activation Notice.

(c) On any Commitment Increase Date with respect to any Facility, in the event any Loans under such Facility are then outstanding, (i) each relevant Incremental Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such increased Commitments and the application of such amounts to prepay Loans under such Facility of other relevant Lenders, the Loans under such Facility to be held ratably by all Lenders with Commitments in such Facility in accordance with such Commitments after giving effect to such increase, (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans under this Agreement and (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.20 as a result of such prepayment.

2.27 Termination Date Extension. (a) The Company may at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent propose an extension of the Termination Date, which proposal may include a proposal to change the Applicable Margins (including any provision of the Applicable Pricing Grid) for the Lenders as may be specified in such proposal. Upon receipt of any such proposal the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender shall respond to such proposal in writing within 30 calendar days after the date of such proposal and any failure of a Lender to respond within such period shall be deemed to be a rejection of such proposal. If any Lender consents to such proposal (each such consenting Lender, an “Extending Lender”), the Termination Date applicable to each Extending Lender shall be extended to the date specified in the Company’s extension proposal and the Applicable Margin with respect to each such Extending Lender shall be adjusted in the manner specified in such proposal, if any, and each Non-Extending Lender will be treated as provided in Section 2.27(b).

(b) If any Lender does not consent to any extension request that becomes effective pursuant to Section 2.27(a) (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”), then the Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender shall remain unchanged from that applicable prior to the extension and the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender and the existing Applicable Margins shall, subject to the terms of Section 2.16, continue in full force and effect.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1(a), the Company and the Administrative Agent (and the Extending Lenders) shall be entitled to enter into any amendments to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent believe are necessary or appropriate to reflect, or to provide for the integration of, any extension of the Termination Date or change in Applicable Margins pursuant to this Section 2.27 without the consent of any Non-Extending Lender.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to issue) letters of credit and, with the consent of such Issuing Lender, letters of guarantee (each a “Letter of Credit”) under the Domestic Facility for the account of a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party (the “Applicable Account Party”) on any Business Day during the Commitment Period of such Issuing Lender in such form as may be reasonable and customary for the purpose thereof; provided, that (i) no Applicable Account Party shall request, and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to issue), any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance (and to any concurrent funding or prepayment of a Loan and to the application of proceeds thereof and to any concurrent expiration or termination or amendment or modification of any previously issued Letter of Credit), (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the then Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office thereof) would exceed such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment then in effect, (B) the Dollar Equivalent of the then Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit then in effect or (C) sum of (x) 105% of the Dollar Equivalent of Letters of Credit denominated in Optional Currencies plus (y) the then Outstanding Amount of the Total Domestic Extensions of Credit other than Letters of Credit denominated in Optional Currencies would exceed the Total Domestic Commitments then in effect and (ii) the Company shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of an Applicable Account Party (other than the Company). Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars or any Optional Currency and (y) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the date that is one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date of such Issuing Lender then in effect; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year or shorter tenor may (1) provide for the subsequent or successive renewal or automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year or shorter periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in foregoing clause (B), unless and to the extent that such Letter of Credit is Collateralized for the period following such date at 100% of the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit if requested by the relevant Issuing Lender) or (2) continue past such date referred to in the foregoing clause (B) to the extent that such Letter of Credit is Collateralized for the period following such date at 100% of the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit if requested by the relevant Issuing Lender; provided, further, that, upon request of the Company and with the consent of the relevant Issuing Lender, a Letter of Credit may have a tenor of longer than one year so long as such Letter of Credit does not extend beyond the date referred to in clause (B) above (or, to the extent such Letter of Credit does extend beyond such date, it is in compliance with the parenthetical in clause (1) above). Any such Collateralization of a Letter of Credit provided by a Loan Party or Applicable Account Party, as applicable, with respect to a Letter of Credit, together with accrued interest or earnings thereon, shall be terminated and (to the extent not applied to satisfy L/C Obligations) released to such Loan Party or Applicable Account Party, as applicable, as soon as practicable after the expiration or other termination of such Letter of Credit and the reimbursement of any amount drawn thereunder; provided, that, so long as such 100% margin is maintained, the accrued interest or earnings on such Collateralization shall be released to the Loan Party or Applicable Account Party, as applicable, at any time and from time to time upon its request therefor.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to issue) any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office thereof) or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

(c) If the Termination Date has been extended (pursuant to Section 2.27 or otherwise) and any Domestic Lenders are Non-Consenting Lenders with respect thereto, and any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on the Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lenders, then (i) so long

as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, all or any part of the L/C Obligations of such Non-Extending Lenders shall be reallocated among the Domestic Lenders that are Extending Lenders with respect thereto in accordance with their Domestic Percentages (calculated after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders on such Termination Date) but only to the extent the sum of all Extending Lenders’ Domestic Extensions of Credit plus such L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all Domestic Lenders that are Extending Lenders’ Domestic Commitments, (ii) if any reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company or any applicable Subsidiary Borrower shall, at any time and from time to time following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) prepay Domestic Loans in an amount sufficient to permit such reallocation of the L/C Obligations of the Non-Extending Lenders in full or (y) Collateralize for the benefit of each Issuing Lender, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Non-Extending Lenders’ L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding (it being expressly understood and agreed that all accrued interest on such Collateralization shall be for the account of the Company or such applicable Subsidiary Borrower and shall be paid to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower at any time and from time to time upon its request therefor; provided, that no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing), and (iii) if all or any portion of such Non-Extending Lenders’ L/C Obligations is neither reallocated nor Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Lender or any other Domestic Lender hereunder, all fees payable hereunder with respect to such Non-Extending Lenders’ L/C Obligations shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are so reallocated and/or Collateralized.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. Any Applicable Account Party, with (in the case of any such Applicable Account Party other than the Company) the written consent of the Company, may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to issue) a Letter of Credit or amend or extend an outstanding Letter of Credit (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to amend or extend an outstanding Letter of Credit), by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request consistent with its customary business practices for comparable transactions in the applicable jurisdiction (it being expressly understood and agreed by each Issuing Lender that the terms and provisions of each such Application shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement). Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to issue) the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue, amend or extend (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to issue, amend or extend) any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit (or of such amendment or extension, as applicable) to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the relevant Issuing Lender and the Applicable Account Party. The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit (or of such amendment or extension, as applicable) to the Applicable Account Party promptly (and in any event within 10 calendar days of such issuance, amendment or extension) following the issuance, amendment or extension, as the case may be, thereof. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount and currency thereof). No Issuing Lender shall issue, amend or extend (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to issue, amend or extend) any Letter of Credit during any period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.2 shall not on such date be satisfied or waived, and ending when the Administrative Agent provides written notice to the effect that such conditions are satisfied or waived. The Administrative

Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Lenders upon becoming aware that such conditions in Section 5.2 are thereafter satisfied or waived. The Issuing Lenders shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit.

3.3 Fees and Other Charges. The Company shall, or shall cause the Applicable Account Party to, pay a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit during each Fee Payment Period at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans, shared ratably among the Domestic Lenders based on the Domestic Percentages of the Domestic Lenders during the relevant Fee Payment Period and payable in arrears for each Fee Payment Period on the related Fee Payment Date. In addition, the Company shall pay a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable in arrears to the relevant Issuing Lender for each Fee Payment Period on the related Fee Payment Date. For the purposes of the foregoing calculations, the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency for any Fee Payment Period shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit (expressed in the Optional Currency in which such Letter of Credit giving rise to such fee is denominated) by (ii) the Exchange Rate for each such Optional Currency in effect on the first Business Day of the related Fee Payment Period or by such other method that the Administrative Agent and the Company may agree. In addition to the foregoing fees, the Company shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender, for its own account such customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit, to the extent that such costs and expenses have been mutually agreed upon between the Company and such Issuing Lender.

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Domestic Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued, and the amount of each draft or demand paid, by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft or demand is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company or other applicant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Domestic Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft or demand, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (calculated, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency, as of the Reimbursement Date therefor); provided, that in no event shall an L/C Participant be obligated to fund an amount that would cause such L/C Participant’s Total Domestic Extensions of Credit to exceed such L/C Participant’s Domestic Commitment. Subject to the foregoing, each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Company, the Applicable Account Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to any Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to any Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the relevant Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company, the Applicable Account Party or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Company and the Applicable Account Party. If any draft or demand is paid under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of an Applicable Account Party, the Company or such Applicable Account Party, on a joint and several basis, shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the draft or demand so paid, not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives notice of payment of such draft or demand (or if notice of such payment is received after 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, on the third Business Day immediately following such date of receipt) (such date, the “Reimbursement Date”). Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated and in immediately available funds; provided, that, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency, if such payment, or obligation to make such payment, in an Optional Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or any Domestic Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or any similar Tax that would not be payable if such payment were paid or required to be paid in Dollars, the Company or such Applicable Account Party shall, at its option, (A) pay the amount of such Tax to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or the relevant Domestic Lender or (B) pay the Dollar Equivalent of such draft or demand (calculated as of the Reimbursement Date); provided, further, that if such payment is not made on the applicable Reimbursement Date the obligation to pay such draft or demand shall be permanently converted into an obligation to pay the Dollar Equivalent amount of such draft or demand (calculated as of such Reimbursement Date). Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the Reimbursement Date until payment in full at the rate set forth in Section 2.14(b). Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this Agreement, unless (x) the Company or such Applicable Account Party gives notice to the Administrative Agent that it has paid its Reimbursement Obligation by 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Reimbursement Date or notifies the Administrative Agent that it does not wish to have such Reimbursement Obligation paid with the proceeds of an ABR Loan by such time, or (y) the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that the conditions precedent to an ABR Loan to be made on such Reimbursement Date which are contained in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied or waived, the Company or such Applicable Account

Party shall be deemed to have requested that the Domestic Lenders make an ABR Loan on such Reimbursement Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the related Reimbursement Obligation, and such ABR Loan shall be made on such Reimbursement Date. If an ABR Loan is deemed to have been requested as aforesaid, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be paid with the proceeds of such Loan and no Default or Event of Default shall exist or be continuing in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 2.2, the proceeds of such ABR Loan shall be made available to the relevant Issuing Lender (and not to the Company or such Applicable Account Party) to the account specified by such Issuing Lender, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Lender may credit its Domestic Percentage of such ABR Loan to the relevant Reimbursement Obligation in lieu of funding such amount to the Administrative Agent.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Company and each Applicable Account Party under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Company or any Applicable Account Party may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Company and each Applicable Account Party also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, be responsible for, and the Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 of the Company and such Applicable Account Party shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Company or any Applicable Account Party, and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Company or any Applicable Account Party, as the case may be, against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Company and each Applicable Account Party agree that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Company and such Applicable Account Party, as the case may be, and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Company or such Applicable Account Party.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft or demand shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall, within the period stipulated by the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit, examine such draft or demand presented under such Letter of Credit. After such examination, such Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Applicable Account Party, the Company and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make the payment under such Letter of Credit; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicable Account Party or the Company of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender with respect to any such payment under such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender will act in good faith in exercising its discretion under Section 5-109 of the UCC in honoring or refusing to honor a presentation on a Letter of Credit in cases where material fraud is asserted or alleged. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lenders to the Company or any other such Applicable Account Party in connection with any draft or demand presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft or demand) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of any other Loan Document, including this Section 3, the provisions of such other Loan Document or this Section 3, as the case may be, shall apply.

3.9 Collateralization. The Company or any Applicable Account Party may at its option at any time and from time to time Collateralize any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Applicable Account Party at 100% of the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit. In addition, on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date then in effect for any Issuing Lender, the Company or such Applicable Account Party shall Collateralize (or, with the consent of the relevant Issuing Lender, in its sole discretion, enter into alternative arrangements on terms satisfactory to such Issuing Lender in respect of) any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Applicable Account Party with an expiration date occurring after such Termination Date as provided in Section 3.1. Any Letter of Credit that is Collateralized or subject to such alternative arrangements as provided in this Section 3.9 shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder effective on the date of such Collateralization or guarantee and, accordingly, the rights and obligations of Lenders in respect thereof (including pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4) shall terminate and the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Amount of such Letter of Credit shall no longer be included as an “L/C Obligation” or an “Extension of Credit”.

3.10 New Issuing Lenders; L/C Commitments. (a) The Company may from time to time (i) decrease the L/C Commitment of any Issuing Lender or terminate any Issuing Lender as an Issuing Lender hereunder (on a prospective basis only) for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender, (ii) add additional Issuing Lenders hereunder and (iii) increase (with the consent of the relevant Issuing Lender) the L/C Commitment of any existing Issuing Lender. If the Company shall decide to add a new Issuing Lender under this Agreement, then the Company may appoint from among the Domestic Lenders (or an Applicable Lending Office thereof) a new Issuing Lender, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Issuing Lender, whereupon such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder, and the term “Issuing Lender” shall mean such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or an increase of the L/C Commitment of any existing Issuing Lender, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new issuer of Letters of Credit or existing Issuing Lender, as applicable, in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, the Company and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall become an “Issuing Lender” hereunder or such increased L/C Commitment shall become effective. Any decrease of an L/C Commitment or termination of an Issuing Lender shall become effective upon the applicable Issuing Lender’s receipt of notice thereof. After the termination of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the terminated Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the replacement, termination or Collateralization thereof pursuant to Section 3.9, but shall not issue additional Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Domestic Lenders of the effectiveness of any replacement or addition of an Issuing Lender, or any changed L/C Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.10.

(b) Any Issuing Lender may, in its discretion, arrange for one or more Letters of Credit to be issued by an Applicable Lending Office thereof, in which case, such Applicable Lending Office shall be an “Issuing Lender” hereunder.

3.11 Conflicts. Unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender, the Company and the Applicable Account Party, (i) each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York or such other jurisdiction requested by the beneficiary and acceptable to the Issuing Lender and the Company, provided, that in the case of a Letter of Credit that is issued in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, such Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of a jurisdiction requested by the beneficiary and acceptable to the Issuing Lender and the Company and (ii) to the extent not prohibited by such laws and not materially

inconsistent with this agreement, the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit, and the URDG shall apply to each bank guarantee. The Company or any Applicable Account Party may request that a Letter of Credit contain modifications to, or that modify or exclude the application of specific provisions of, the ISP, the UCP or the URDG.

(d) the Company or any Principal Domestic Subsidiary shall (i) default in making any payment of any principal of any Material Indebtedness on the due date with respect thereto beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Indebtedness was created; or (ii) default in making any payment of any interest on any Material Indebtedness beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating to such Indebtedness; or (iii) default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any such Material Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, the effect of which default is to cause such Material Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity or (in the case of any such Material Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee Obligation) to become payable; or

(e) (i) any Material Loan Party shall (A) commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors (1) seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (2) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or (B) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against any Material Loan Party, any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (i) above that (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 90 days; or

(f) the occurrence of an ERISA Default; or

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (e) above with respect to the Company, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing by any Loan Party to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Company declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Company, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall at such time deposit in an interest bearing cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (calculated, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Optional Currencies, at the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of acceleration). Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated or been fully drawn upon, if any, together with all accrued interest and earnings, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account, together with all accrued interest and earnings, if any, shall be returned to the Company (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section 8, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company if it is required to do so under Section 10.5 and without limiting the obligation of the Company under Section 10.5 to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Percentages immediately prior to such date), and agrees to indemnify and hold each Agent-Related Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

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

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(e) with respect to the Company shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(e) with respect to the Company shall have occurred and be continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500 million. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10 [Reserved].

9.11 Bookrunners, Lead Arrangers, Global and Regional Coordinators, Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent and Co-Syndication Agent. None of the Syndication Agent, Co-Syndication Agent nor any of the bookrunners, lead arrangers, documentation agents, global or regional coordinator, or other agents identified on the cover page to this Agreement or in any commitment letter relating hereto (collectively, the “Arrangers”) shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in their respective capacities as such, nor shall the consent of any such Person, in its capacity as such, be required for any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

The Required Lenders and the Company (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of any other Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document) may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Required Lenders) and the Company (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of any Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document) may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement (including any condition precedent to an Extension of Credit) or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(A) forgive or reduce any principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation (for the purpose of clarity each of the foregoing not to include any waiver of a mandatory prepayment), reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or prepayment premium payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates), or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender;

(C) consent to the assignment or transfer by or release of any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, pursuant to Section 10.1(d) below), release the Company from its obligations under the Guarantee, release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the obligations under the Guarantee (in each case, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders;

(E) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility;

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), without the consent of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) below, any Issuing Lender), but subject to any consent required by paragraphs (A) through (I) above, (i) the terms of any Facility may be amended, modified or waived in any manner that does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of Lenders under any other Facility with the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility, (ii) this Agreement may be amended with only the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, if any, as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Company and the Administrative Agent in order to provide that Letters of Credit are to be issued under the Multicurrency Facility rather than the Domestic Facility and (iii) the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of each Lender and Issuing Lender) and the Company (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of any other Loan Party who is a party to the relevant Loan Document) may amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of each Lender and Issuing Lender) may waive any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case to (A) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, (B) permit additional affiliates of the Company or other Persons to guarantee the Obligations, (C) release any Subsidiary Guarantor or other guarantor that is required or permitted to be released by the terms of any Loan Document and to release any such Subsidiary Guarantor that was or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or (D) add or effect changes to administrative or ministerial provisions contained herein reasonably believed to be required as a result of the addition of Subsidiary Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.1(d); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and Issuing Lenders of any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver consummated in accordance with this clause (iii) promptly after consummation thereof.

provided, that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.4, 2.9, 2.10, or 2.12 shall not be effective until received.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any notices or other Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders by posting such Communications on IntraLinks^™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(c) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties hereto hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(d) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(e) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

10.5 Payment of Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity.

(a) Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, the syndication of the Facilities, the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto, including (i) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, and one additional local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and, in the event of a conflict, one separate counsel (and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for all persons similarly situated as required to address such conflict, (ii) filing and recording fees and expenses and (iii) the charges of IntraLinks, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel to the Administrative Agent, one additional local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction which counsel shall act on behalf of all Lenders and the Administrative Agent and, in the event of a conflict, one separate counsel (and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for all persons similarly situated as required to address such conflict and (c) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent for, and hold each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents.

(b) Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liability against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement or the use or the proposed use of proceeds thereof and the other Loan Documents; provided, that this Section 10.5(b) shall not limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations set forth above to the extent the relevant, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which the relevant Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(c) Indemnity. The Company shall pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons and trustees (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.19 or with respect to the costs, losses or expenses which are of the type covered by Section 2.18 or Section 2.20) in respect of the financing contemplated by this Agreement or the use or the proposed use of proceeds thereof and the other Loan Documents (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, (ii) a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee, any of its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons or trustees as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnitees not arising out of any act or omission of the Company or any of its affiliates (other than disputes involving claims against any Indemnitee in its capacity as, or fulfilling its role as, the Administrative Agent or an Arranger or similar role in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby).

(d) Unless such amounts are being contested in good faith by the Company, all amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 45 Business Days after the party to whom such amount is owed has provided a statement or invoice therefor, setting forth in reasonable detail, the amount due and the relevant provision of this Section 10.5 under which such amount is payable by the Company and any other Borrower. For purposes of the preceding sentence, it is understood and agreed that the Company may ask for reasonable supporting documentation to support any request to reimburse or pay out-of-pocket expenses, legal fees and disbursements, that the grace period to pay any such amounts shall not commence until such supporting documentation has been received by the Company and that out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursable by the Company are limited to those that are consistent with the Company’s then prevailing policies and procedures for reimbursement of expenses. The Company agrees to provide upon request by any party that may be entitled to expense reimbursement hereunder, on a confidential basis, a written statement setting forth those portions of its then prevailing policies and procedures that are relevant to obtaining expense reimbursement hereunder. Statements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Company at the address of the Company set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.

(e) The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees not to assert, and to cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors not to assert, and hereby waives, and agrees to cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee unless the same shall have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee, any of its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons or trustees as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than pursuant to Section 7.4, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below and subject to advance notice to the Company, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any natural person) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(1) the Company (unless such assignment is to a Lender to which any two or more of the following ratings have been issued by the relevant rating agency: (a) in the case of S&P, at least BBB; (b) in the case of Moody’s, at least Baa2; and (c) in the case of Fitch, at least BBB);

(2) the Administrative Agent; and

(3) in the case of any assignment of any rights or interest under the Domestic Facility, each Material Issuing Lender at such time (unless such assignment is to a Lender who has an investment grade rating from two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch); and

provided, that (x) no consent provided for in clause (2) above shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate thereof and (y) no consents provided for in clause (3) above shall be required for an assignment to a Domestic Lender or an affiliate thereof and (z) no consent of the Company provided for in clause (1) above shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to an Ineligible Assignee without the consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans, the amount of the Commitments and Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10 million, unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided, that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment (or, in the case of an assignment made pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s rights under Section 2.22, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the assigning Lender, and the Assignee) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which shall be paid by the assigning Lender or the Assignee or, in the case of an assignment made pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s rights under Section 2.22, by the assigning Lender, the Assignee, or the Company); and

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Subject to the last sentence of (b)(iii) above, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Issuing Lender or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of the Register to the Company upon its request at any time and from time to time by electronic communication.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender (or, in the case of an assignment made pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s rights under Section 2.22, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the assigning Lender) and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) such Participant shall not be an Ineligible Participant, and (E) no later than January 31 of each year, such Lender shall provide the Company with a written description of each participation of Loans, and/or Commitments by such Lender during the prior year (it being understood that any failure to provide notice shall not render the participation invalid). Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to clause (A) of the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1(a) and (2) directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and such Lender, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any funds directly from the Company in respect of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 or 10.7 unless such Participant shall have provided to Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, such information as is required to be recorded in the Register pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) above as if such Participant were a Lender. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless such Participant complies with Sections 2.19(c), 2.19(d) and 2.19(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure such Lender’s obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) In connection with any assignment pursuant hereto, the assigning Lender shall surrender the Note held by it and the Company shall, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender or the Assignee, as applicable, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the outstanding Note of the assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender or Assignee, as applicable, in the amount equal to the amount of such assigning Lender’s or Assignee’s, as applicable, Commitment to it after giving effect to its applicable assignment (or if the Commitments have terminated, the Loan of such party). Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Company marked “cancelled.”

10.7 Adjustments. If any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall have become due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(e), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash in Dollars (calculated, in the case of any Obligation denominated in an Optional Currency, at the Dollar Equivalent thereof as of the date such Obligations became due and payable) from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; and provided, further, that no payments in respect of Obligations owing by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be utilized to satisfy any Obligations owing by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower.

10.8 Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each Loan Party hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrowers and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender, any Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons and trustees for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of any Borrower and/or any other Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

10.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Company, each Subsidiary Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and

(iii) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 10.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

(b) Upon any Foreign Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower hereby agrees to irrevocably and unconditionally appoint the Company as its agent to receive on behalf of such Subsidiary Borrower and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding in any such New York State or Federal court described in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.12. In any such action or proceeding in such New York State or Federal court, such service may be made on such Subsidiary Borrower by delivering a copy of such process to such Subsidiary Borrower in care of the Company. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes and directs the Company to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternate method of service, each Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding in such New York State or Federal court by mailing of copies of such process to such Subsidiary Borrower by certified or registered air mail at its address specified in the Borrower Joinder Agreement. Each Subsidiary Borrower agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) To the extent that any Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.13 Judgment. The obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents due to any party hereto shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such party is denominated (the “Original Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due under such judgment to such party in the Original Currency, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any party to this Agreement, such party agrees to remit to the Company such excess.

(b) none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Company or any Subsidiary arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Company or any Subsidiary, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Company or any Subsidiary and the Lenders.

10.15 Releases of Guarantees .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender or any Issuing Lender except as expressly required in Section 10.1) to take, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to take promptly, any action requested by the Company having the effect of releasing, or evidencing the release of, any collateral or any obligations under the Guarantee (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in this Section 10.15.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and interest and fees owing hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or such Letters of Credit are Collateralized), all obligations (other than as expressly provided therein) of each Guarantor under the Guarantee shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any person.

(c) Any guarantees of the Obligations from a Subsidiary Guarantor (including any obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee), will be automatically released if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or for any other reason ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a transaction not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents.

(d) Any guarantees of the Obligations from a Subsidiary Guarantor (including any obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee) that is required to be a Guarantor solely because it has provided a guarantee of Material Indebtedness of the Company, will be automatically released upon such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to provide a guarantee of Material Indebtedness of the Company upon consummation of any transaction not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents, so long as, after giving pro forma effect to such release, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder (and the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate to that effect provided to it by the Company upon its reasonable request without further inquiry). The Company shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such occurrence in accordance with this Agreement.

10.18 USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

10.19 No Novation. The terms and conditions of the Existing Five Year Credit Agreement are amended as set forth in, and restated in their entirety and superseded by, this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a novation of any of the Obligations as defined in the Existing Five Year Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or instrument executed in connection herewith, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the incurrence of Obligations hereunder shall be in substitution for, but not in payment of, the Obligations owed by the Loan Parties under the Existing Five Year Credit Agreement. From and after the Closing Date, each reference to the “Agreement”, “Credit Agreement” or other reference originally applicable to the Existing Five Year Credit Agreement contained in any Loan Document shall be a reference to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time.

10.20 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 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) 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) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down And Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

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

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.

10.22 Removal of GMB and Brazilian Administrative Agent The parties hereby agree that (i) this Agreement shall constitute notice to the Administrative Agent of the removal of GMB as a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(ii)(A) of the Existing Five-Year Credit Agreement and (ii) Banco do Brasil S.A. is hereby removed as Brazilian Administrative Agent in connection with this amendment and restatement.

10.23 Interest Rate Limitations Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or other Obligation owing under this Agreement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or other Obligation under Applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender or other Person holding such Loan or other Obligation in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or other Obligation hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan or other Obligation but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender or other Person in respect of other Loans or Obligations or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender or other Person. Any amount collected by such Lender or other Person that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or other Obligation or refunded to the applicable Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan or other Obligation exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.
