If the Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.22 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 2.22(b)), then the Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.

“Benchmark Replacement” shall mean, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; and

#96301122v26

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall mean, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark, the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

#96301122v26

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

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

(2) 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), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, the CME Term SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(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” shall mean, 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 2.22 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 2.22.

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing (or, solely to the extent applicable pursuant to Section 2.22, an RFR Borrowing);

(iv) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a request for a Borrowing in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable request for a Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such request for a Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a request for a Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by a responsible officer of the Borrower.

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an Base Rate Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing; and

#96301122v26

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be deemed to have an Interest Period that is one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (A) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and (B) each Base Rate Borrowing shall be converted to an Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars for its own account or the account of one or more Subsidiaries in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period; provided that neither Barclays Bank PLC nor any of its branches or affiliates shall have any obligation to issue any commercial letters of credit hereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall notify the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, describing the Letter of Credit to be issued, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form (with such changes thereto as the parties may agree upon) in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender shall not exceed its Commitment and (iii) the aggregate amount of the LC

#96301122v26

Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank, unless such Issuing Bank shall otherwise agree in its sole discretion.

An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any Order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or any such Order, judgment or decree, or law shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after such extension (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. The expiry date of any Letter of Credit may be extended from time to time (i) at the Borrower’s request in accordance with (c) above or (ii) in the case of an Evergreen Letter of Credit, automatically, in each case so long as such extension is for a period not exceeding one year, does not extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence and is granted (or the last day on which notice can be given to prevent such extension occurs) no earlier than three months before the then existing expiry date thereof.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has

#96301122v26

not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with, in the case of LC Disbursements, a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing (of not less than $10,000,000) in an equal amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the applicable Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the

#96301122v26

absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit, following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. After such examination, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then 2% per annum shall be added to the applicable rate specified above. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent given upon request of the Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral will become effective immediately, and such deposit will become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (i) or (j) of Article 7. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Borrower hereby grants a lien and security interest in, and sole and exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account to the Administrative Agent. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing

#96301122v26

Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived free and clear of all Liens created hereunder.

(j) Appointment of Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and by notice to the Lenders, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an instrument, which shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank.

(k) Resignation and Replacement of Issuing Bank. (i) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.08(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.05(k)(i) above.

Section 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), in funds immediately available in New York City, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.

(b) The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable request for a Borrowing; provided

#96301122v26

that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

Section 2.07. Changes of Commitments. (a) Termination on the Maturity Date. Unless theretofore reduced to such amount pursuant to Section 2.07(b), the Commitments of the Lenders shall automatically be reduced to zero on the close of banking business on the Maturity Date.

(b) Ratable Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that (i) each partial reduction shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans in accordance herewith, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided further that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions (including the occurrence of a Change of Control) in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The aggregate amount of the Commitments, once reduced as provided in this Section 2.07(b), may not be reinstated, except as provided in Section 2.07(c) below.

(c) Increase. (i) The Borrower may at any time, by notice to the Administrative Agent not less than three Business Days prior to a Commitment Increase Date (as defined below), propose that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”), through an increase of the Commitment or Commitments of one or more existing Lenders and/or the addition of one or more Persons (who shall be Eligible Assignees) as Assuming Lenders, as the Borrower may determine, all effective as of a date (the “Commitment Increase Date”) that shall be specified in such notice and that shall be prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that

(A) the proposed Commitment Increase in respect of the Commitment of either (1) any Increasing Lender or (2) any Assuming Lender shall for each Commitment Increase Date be in the aggregate amount of no less than $25,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,

#96301122v26

(B) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $1,500,000,000,

(C) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Commitment Increase Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase, and

(D) the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 shall be accurate in all material respects on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent any such representation or warranty (1) relates solely to an earlier date, in which case it shall be accurate as of such earlier date, or (2) is qualified by materiality or subject to a Material Adverse Effect qualification, in which case it shall be accurate in all respects on and as of the Commitment Increase Date or such earlier date as specified in clause (1) above).

The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Loans (which prepayment may, notwithstanding any pro rata borrowing requirements set forth in this Agreement, be effected through a Borrowing funded by the Lenders participating in the Commitment Increase) outstanding on the Commitment Increase Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section 2.07.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of a proposed Commitment Increase promptly upon its receipt of any notice from the Borrower with respect to such proposed Commitment Increase. It shall be in each Lender’s sole discretion whether to agree to increase its Commitment hereunder in connection with any proposed Commitment Increase. No later than three Business Days after its receipt of the Borrower’s notice proposing a Commitment Increase, each Lender that is willing to increase its Commitment hereunder (each such Lender being an “Increasing Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice in which such Lender shall set forth the maximum increase in its Commitment to which such Lender is willing to agree, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower a copy of such Increasing Lender’s notice. Any Lender failing to provide such notice shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The Administrative Agent, or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, shall cooperate with the Borrower in discussions with the Lenders and Eligible Assignees with a view to arranging any proposed Commitment Increase through the increase of the Commitments of one or more of the Lenders and/or the addition of one or more Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders (provided that any such addition of an Eligible Assignee as an Assuming Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and as parties to this Agreement; provided, that any allocations of any increase of Commitments hereunder (including any allocation as between each Lender that is willing to increase its Commitment hereunder (each such Lender being an “Increasing Lender”) and Assuming Lenders) shall be determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (i) of Section 2.07(c).

(ii) If agreement is reached prior to the relevant Commitment Increase Date with any Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders, if any, as to a Commitment Increase (the amount of which may be less than (subject to the limitation set forth in clause (i)(A) of this Section 2.07(c)) but not greater than that amount specified in the applicable notice from the Borrower), the Borrower

#96301122v26

shall deliver, no later than one Business Day prior to such Commitment Increase Date, a notice thereof in reasonable detail to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders, including any Assuming Lenders). The Assuming Lenders, if any, shall become Lenders hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date and the Commitments of any Increasing Lenders and such Assuming Lenders shall be increased by or shall be, as the case may be, as of such Commitment Increase Date, the amounts specified in the notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(A) the Administrative Agent shall have received at or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Date (1) a duly executed Note (to the extent requested by the relevant Lender), dated as of such Commitment Increase Date and in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto for each Assuming Lender, and dated the date to which interest on the existing Notes shall have been paid and in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto for each Increasing Lender, in each case in an amount equal to the Commitment of each such Assuming Lender and each such Increasing Lender after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, (2) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in Section 2.07(c)(i)(C) and 2.07(c)(i)(D) has been satisfied and (3) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent documents, consistent with those delivered under Sections 3.01(a)(ii), 3.01(a)(iii) and 3.01(a)(iv) as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase;

(B) with respect to each Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have received, at or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Date, an Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, duly executed by such Assuming Lender and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; and

(C) each Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Date, confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to its increased Commitment, with a copy of such confirmation to the Borrower.

(iii) Upon its receipt of confirmation from a Lender that it is increasing its Commitment hereunder, together with the appropriate Note (if applicable) and documents referred to in clause (ii)(A) above, the Administrative Agent shall (A) record the information contained therein in the Register and (B) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon its receipt of an Assumption Agreement executed by an Assuming Lender representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the appropriate Note (if applicable) and documents referred to in clause (ii)(A) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assumption Agreement has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (x) accept such Assumption Agreement, (y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

#96301122v26

(iv) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower as to any agreement with respect to a Commitment Increase on or prior to the relevant Commitment Increase Date or the Borrower shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent prior to such Commitment Increase Date, withdraw its proposal for a Commitment Increase or any of the actions provided for above in clauses (ii)(A) through (ii)(C) shall not have occurred by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Date, such proposal by the Borrower shall be deemed not to have been made. In such event, any actions theretofore taken under clauses (ii)(A) through (ii)(C) above shall be deemed to be of no effect and all the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue as if no such proposal had been made.

(v) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower as to any agreement with respect to a Commitment Increase on or prior to the relevant Commitment Increase Date and the action provided for in clauses (ii)(A) through (ii)(C) above shall have occurred by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including any Assuming Lenders) of the occurrence of such Commitment Increase Date promptly and in any event by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Increasing Lender’s or such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase). After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans owing to each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase). In addition, on and as of each Commitment Increase Date, the LC Exposures of the Lenders shall be redetermined based on their respective Commitments after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase.

Section 2.08. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the daily average amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether used or unused), for each day during the period from the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Facility Fee Rate. Facility fees accrued through and including the last day of each Quarterly Date of each year shall be payable in arrears on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days after each such Quarterly Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and, without duplication, on the Commitment Termination Date. If for any reason any Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding on or after the Commitment Termination Date, the facility fee shall accrue from the Commitment Termination Date until the date on which no Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding, on the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposure from time to time outstanding, payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of

#96301122v26

days elapsed (including the first day and the last day of each period but excluding the date on which the Commitments terminate).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Term Benchmark Margin on such Lender’s daily LC Exposure during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per annum mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the average daily LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accruing through and including the last day of each Quarterly Date of each year shall be payable on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days after each such Quarterly Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed in writing by and between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.09. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender the full principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, and each Revolving Loan shall mature, on the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.10. Interest on Loans. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan owing to each Lender from the date of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Loans. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(ii) Term Benchmark Loans. The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(iii) RFR Loans. Each RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default in the payment of any amount due and payable hereunder, the Borrower shall pay interest on such overdue amount from the date such amount shall have become due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on demand and on the date such amount shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2.00% per annum

#96301122v26

above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a)(i) above.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an Base Rate prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d) Interest computed by reference to the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR and the Base Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the Base Rate only at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. A determination of the applicable Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.10(a)(ii).

Section 2.11. [Reserved].

Section 2.12. Optional Conversion of Loans. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17, Convert all Revolving Loans of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Loans of the other Type; provided that any Conversion of Term Benchmark Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term Benchmark Loans, any Conversion of Base Rate Loans into Term Benchmark Loans shall be in an amount not less than the minimum borrowing amount specified in Section 2.02 and no Conversion of any Loans shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Loans to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Loan. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

Section 2.13. Optional Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, given not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) (a) three Business Days before such proposed prepayment in the case of Term Benchmark Loans and (b) on the day of such proposed prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans, and, if such notice is given, the Borrower shall, prepay without penalty the outstanding principal amount of the Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, provided that in the event of any such prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan other than

#96301122v26

on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.23; provided further that if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07(b), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked in accordance with Section 2.07(b) (subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, compliance with the immediately preceding sentence). Each prepayment of Revolving Loans hereunder shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.14. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, without any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, not later than 12:00 Noon (Local Time) on the due date of such payment (each such payment made after such time on such date to be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day). The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or unused commitment fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.07(c), 2.16, 2.18 or 2.23) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.06(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance (which shall not include the Borrower) shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of the effectiveness of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.07(c), and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the Commitment Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assumed thereby to such Assuming Lender.

(b) Subject to the proviso in the definition of the term “Maturity Date”, whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or unused commitment fee, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term Benchmark Loan to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such

#96301122v26

Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

Section 2.15. Sharing of Payments Etc. (a) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Exposure owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(v), 2.16, 2.18 or 2.23) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Exposure obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Exposure owing to such other Lenders as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 2.16. Additional Costs. (a) The Borrower shall, within 30 days following demand by a Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making, funding or maintaining any Loan or its issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit hereunder or its obligation to make any Loan hereunder or to issue or participate in any Letter of Credit hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any such Loans, any such LC Exposure or any such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or the Commitment of such Lender; (ii) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) imposes any other cost, expense or condition affecting this Agreement or such Lender’s Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or Commitment; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to such Lender such Additional Costs unless such Lender at such time shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this paragraph. Any Lender seeking compensation hereunder shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of the enactment of any Regulatory Change that would entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) as promptly as practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof and the date of effectiveness of such

#96301122v26

Regulatory Change; provided that failure to provide such notice shall not in any way reduce the Borrower’s liability therefor. As soon thereafter as such Lender shall have determined to request such compensation, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof and shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) (i) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such Regulatory Change if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, and (ii) to otherwise minimize any such compensation payable by the Borrower hereunder, provided that, in each case, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, such actions would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.16(a) to the contrary, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse such Lender for Additional Costs pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) shall be limited as follows:

(x) In the event of a Regulatory Change with an effective date occurring on or after its date of enactment, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender only such amounts attributable to the period commencing 270 days prior to the date of such Lender’s notice of determination to request compensation hereunder; and

(y) In the event of a Regulatory Change with an effective date retroactive from its date of enactment, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16 (but without duplication), the Borrower shall, within 30 days following a demand by a Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs (excluding (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender), pursuant to any Law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court or governmental or monetary authority following any Regulatory Change, of capital or liquidity in respect of its Commitment (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender) could have achieved but for such Law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request); provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amounts unless such Lender at such time shall be generally assessing such amounts on a nondiscriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this paragraph. Each Lender will notify the Borrower that it is entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) as promptly as practicable after it determines to request such compensation; provided that, in the event of (x) any Regulatory Change with an effective date occurring on or after its enactment, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender only such amounts attributable to the period commencing 270 days prior to the date of such Lender’s notice of determination to request compensation hereunder; and (y) any Regulatory Change with an effective date retroactive from its date of enactment, such request arises from a Law, regulation, directive or request of a court or governmental or monetary authority that contains an effective date retroactive from its date of enactment, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

#96301122v26

(c) Determinations and allocations by a Lender for purposes of this Section 2.16 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to Section 2.16(a), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to Section 2.16(b), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or LC Exposure or its obligation to make Loans or incur LC Exposure, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the foregoing, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 2.16, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis. Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.16 will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request for compensation.

Section 2.17. Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Term Benchmark Loans or to fund or maintain Term Benchmark Loans hereunder, (i) each Term Benchmark Loan will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Term Benchmark Loan or to Convert Loans into Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, which notice shall be given promptly after such circumstances cease to exist.

(b) Each Lender agrees that, before making a demand under subsection (a) above, it shall (i) use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender if such designation will avoid the need for the Conversion of or for the suspension of the obligation of any Lender or Lenders to make Term Benchmark Loans as described in subsection (a) above and will not, in the opinion of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (ii) failing such efforts and if legally permissible, cause such demand to be made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for each Term Benchmark Loan then outstanding, as the case may be.

Section 2.18. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes unless required by applicable Law; provided that if any Withholding Agent shall be required by Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased, as necessary so that after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) the Administrative Agent and each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes, without duplication, to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

#96301122v26

(c) The Borrower shall, without duplication, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by a Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of such payment or liability absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to any Governmental Authority, and in any event within 60 days of such payment, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify, within 10 days after written demand therefor, the Administrative Agent for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and, (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) in connection herewith or with any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by a Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be presumptive evidence of such payment or liability absent manifest error.

(f) (i) The Administrative Agent and each Lender, including any Foreign Lender, that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Withholding Agent such properly completed and executed documentation (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and applicable Internal Revenue Service Form(s) W-8 and any related documentation) as may be necessary or appropriate to permit the Withholding Agent to make payments under this Agreement or any Loan Document without withholding Tax or at a reduced withholding Tax rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(f), the completion, execution, and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (E) of Section 2.18(f)(i)) shall not be required if, in such Administrative Agent or Lender's reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Administrative Agent or Lender to any material reimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Administrative Agent or Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender or Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Withholding Agent on or about the date on which such

#96301122v26

Lender or Administrative Agent becomes a Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Withholding Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Withholding Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

#96301122v26

(C) On or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, any Administrative Agent, and any successor, that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Withholding Agent two duly completed signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments to be received under the Loan Documents for its own account and two duly completed signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY assuming primary responsibility for and certifying that such Administrative Agent agrees to be treated as a “United States” person for purposes of, withholding under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments to be received under the Loan Documents for the account of Lenders.

(D) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Withholding Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Withholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(E) if a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(ii) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as will enable the Withholding Agent to determine whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(f), the completion, execution, and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (E) of Section 2.18(f)(i)) shall not be required if, in such Administrative Agent or Lender's reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Administrative Agent or Lender to any material reimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Administrative Agent or Lender.

#96301122v26

(iii) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide the appropriate documentation described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.18(f) at the following times: (A) prior to the first payment date after becoming a party to this Agreement, (B) upon a change in circumstances or, upon reasonable request by the Withholding Agent, upon a Regulatory Change, in each case, requiring or making appropriate a new or additional form, certificate or documentation (C) upon reasonable request by the Withholding Agent, upon or before the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously provided to the Withholding Agent and (D) upon reasonable request by the Withholding Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide to the Withholding Agent such forms or certificates as the Withholding Agent may reasonably request to establish the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as applicable, entitlement to an exemption from or reduction of Taxes imposed by a non-U.S. jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(f)(iii), neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to provide any such form or certificate (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (E) of Section 2.18(f)(i)) if it determines in its reasonable discretion that the provision of such form, certificate, or documentation would materially adversely affect it or it is not legally able to provide such form, certificate, or documentation.

(g) Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts (consistent with its legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if such designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any additional amounts that would otherwise thereafter accrue and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss, and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Upon any such designation or assignment, such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower the appropriate form and documentation requirements set forth in Section 2.18(f).

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its

#96301122v26

Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(j) Each party's obligations under this Section 2.18 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, the expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commencing on the date that such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, fees under Section 2.08(a) shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.02 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; 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 LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 2.07 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the

#96301122v26

Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) the Commitment and Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.03), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be automatically reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent either (A) procure the reduction or termination of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) or (B) cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any letter of credit participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) to the extent that the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the letter of credit participation fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall to the same extent be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not reallocated, reduced, terminated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit participation fees payable under Section 2.08(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated, reduced, terminated and/or cash collateralized; and

#96301122v26

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure after giving effect thereto will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or prepaid, reduced, terminated and/or cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.19(d), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its funding obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to defease any risk to the Issuing Bank in respect of such Lender hereunder relating to LC Exposure.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Banks reasonably determine that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine is necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that there shall be no retroactive effect on fees reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(d)(iv) and (v). Subject to Section 9.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

Section 2.20. Substitution of Lender. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.22, (b) any Lender has demanded compensation or the Borrower is otherwise required to pay additional amounts under Section 2.16 or 2.18 or (c) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have, in addition to the right to seek a substitute lender or lenders who qualify as Eligible Assignees to assume, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06, the Commitment of such Lender, the right to terminate the unused Commitment of such Lender.

Section 2.21. Extension Option. (a) The Maturity Date may be extended in the manner set forth in this Section 2.21 for a period of one year from the Maturity Date then in effect; provided that the Maturity Date may only be extended for two additional one year periods; provided, further that the Maturity Date after giving effect to any such extension shall not be later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of any such extension. If the Borrower wishes to request an extension of the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall give written notice to that effect to the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of such request; provided, that the Borrower may provide notice of a request for an extension of the Maturity Date once in any twelve (12) month period. Each Lender will use its best efforts to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, within 30 days of such notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within such 30-day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the Borrower’s proposal to extend its Commitment and only the Commitments of those Lenders which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent

#96301122v26

of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (the “Extension Agreement”) duly completed and signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders which have responded affirmatively. No extension of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered by Lenders having greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments. The Borrower may obtain the signature of Lenders having greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments by requiring any Lender that has failed to consent to such Extension Agreement (such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to (i) the Administrative Agent (unless such assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) and (ii) each Issuing Bank (unless such assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender); provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Extending Lender being replaced shall be paid in full in same day funds to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such assignment, (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Extending Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the replacement Lender or, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay any amount required by Section 2.23, if applicable, (iii) the replacement Lender shall execute and deliver such Extension Agreement and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. No action by or consent of the Non-Extending Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Extending Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.06; provided that if such Non-Extending Lender does not comply with Section 9.06 within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.06 (but only on the part of the Non-Extending Lender) shall not be required to effect such assignment.

(b) If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Borrower’s proposal to extend its Commitment, (i) this Agreement shall terminate on the Maturity Date then in effect with respect to such Lender, (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on such Maturity Date any amounts due and payable to such Lender on such date and (iii) the Borrower may, if it so elects, designate a Person not theretofore a Lender and acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank to become a Lender, or agree with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased; provided that any designation or agreement may not increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such replacement Lender or other Person of an instrument of assumption in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and execution and delivery of the Extension Agreement pursuant to Section 2.21(a), such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other Person shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder. On the date of termination of any Lender’s Commitment as contemplated by this subsection (b), the respective participations of the other Lenders in all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be redetermined on the basis of their respective Commitments after giving effect to such termination, and the participation therein of the Lender whose Commitment is terminated shall terminate; provided that the Borrower shall, if and to the extent necessary to permit such redetermination of participations in Letters of Credit within the limits of the Commitments which are not terminated, prepay on such date a portion of the outstanding Loans, and such redetermination and termination of participations in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be conditioned upon its having done so.

#96301122v26

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of each extension of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21.

Section 2.22. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.22, if:

(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 (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for 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

(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 for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period 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 Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (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 request for a Borrowing that requests a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or request for a Borrowing, as applicable for (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.22(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.22(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any request for a Borrowing that requests an RFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a request for a Borrowing, as applicable, for an Base Rate Borrowing; 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 or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.22(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (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) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.22(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.22(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.

#96301122v26

(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 (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(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 Borrower 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 2.22, 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 2.22.

(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) 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

#96301122v26

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 Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. 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 Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’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 RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.22, (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) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.23. Break Funding Payments. (a) With respect to Loans that are not RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.22(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (iv) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(b) With respect to RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the failure to borrow or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.22(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (iii) the assignment of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A

#96301122v26

certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.24. Sustainability Targets. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Sustainability Targets have not been determined and agreed as of the date of this Agreement and that Schedule 2.24 therefore has been intentionally left blank. The Borrower may submit a request in writing to the Administrative Agent that this Agreement be amended to include the Sustainability Targets and other related provisions (including without limitation those provisions described in this Section 2.24), to be mutually agreed among the parties hereto in accordance with this Section 2.24 and Section 9.03 (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”). Such request shall be accompanied by the proposed Sustainability Targets as prepared by the Borrower and devised with assistance from the Sustainability Assurance Provider (defined below), which shall be included as Schedule 2.25 (the “Sustainability Table”). The proposed ESG Amendment shall also include the ESG Pricing Provisions (defined below) and identify a sustainability assurance provider, provided that any such sustainability assurance provider shall be a qualified external reviewer, independent of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, with relevant expertise, such as an auditor, environmental consultant and/or independent ratings agency of recognized national standing (the “Sustainability Assurance Provider”).

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall in good faith enter into discussions to reach an agreement in respect of the proposed Sustainability Targets and Sustainability Assurance Provider, and any proposed incentives and penalties for compliance and noncompliance, respectively, with the Sustainability Targets, including any adjustments to the Applicable Rate (and/or Facility Fee Rate therein) (such provisions, collectively, the “ESG Pricing Provisions”); provided that the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than (a) 0.01% in the Facility Fee Rate set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” and/or (b) 0.04% in the Term Benchmark Margin, the Base Rate Margin, and the RFR Margin set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” during any calendar year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the ESG Pricing Provisions; provided that (i) in no event shall any of the Term Benchmark Margin, the Base Rate, the RFR Margin or the Facility Fee Rate be less than 0% at any time and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, such pricing adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year, and each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place. The ESG Amendment (including the ESG Pricing Provisions) will become effective once the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have executed the ESG Amendment. The Borrower agrees and confirms that the ESG Pricing Provisions shall follow the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, as published in March 2022, and as may be updated, revised or amended from time to time by the Loan Market Association and the Loan Syndications & Trading Association (the “SLL Principles”).

(c) Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any amendment or other modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Term Benchmark Margin, the Base Rate Margin, the RFR Margin or the Facility Fee Rate to a level not otherwise permitted by this Section 2.24 shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders.

As used in this Section 2.24, Sustainability Targets means specified key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social and governance targets of the

#96301122v26

Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which shall be confirmed by the Borrower and its counsel as being consistent with the SLL Principles.

(d) The parties agree that amendments adopted within the parameters of Section 2.24(b) shall not cause the Loans to be characterized as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. tax purposes, and (unless there is a Change in Law prior to such amendments to the contrary) shall report the transactions accordingly for tax purposes.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.03), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement any other Loan Document or applicable law including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each written notice of borrowing, repayment, prepayment or Event of Default given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks except to the limited extent provided in Section 9.06(e), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(d) The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through its agents or employees or any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(e) None of any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(f) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing

#96301122v26

Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.08, 2.10, 2.16, 2.18 and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.04). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

(g) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions.

(h) The Joint Lead Arrangers and the Persons named on the cover page hereof as Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents or Bookrunners shall have no obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement and shall incur no liability hereunder in such capacity.

Section 8.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower 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 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.01 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under Section 5.01” in

#96301122v26

respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, or (ii) notice of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any Liabilities, costs or expenses suffered by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Credit Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or Issuing Bank.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.06; (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.06(e); (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of the Borrower (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (vi) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of the Borrower, as to the financial position of the Borrower or as to the existence or possible existence of any Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vii) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (viii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by fax, any electronic

With respect to its Commitment, Revolving Loans, its LC Commitment and Letters of Credit and the Note issued to it, JPMorgan shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. JPMorgan and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as JPMorgan was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

Section 8.04. Acknowledgement of Lenders and Issuing Banks. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Acceptance or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

#96301122v26

(c) (i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.04(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

#96301122v26

(d) Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial position and affairs of the Borrower in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. Except for the documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or any employee or agent of any of the foregoing.

Section 8.05. Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and ratably according to the respective amount of such Lender’s Commitment (or, if this indemnity under this paragraph is sought after the termination of the Commitments, such Lender’s Commitment as most recently in effect)), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Borrower.

Section 8.06. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to, if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, 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 $500,000,000, subject to, if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably

#96301122v26

withheld). In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of such 30-day period, notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation (which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice). Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. 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, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 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.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Joint Lead Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent, and each Joint Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. 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 APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY JOINT LEAD ARRANGER, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(iv) E-mail Notification to Lenders. Each Lender agrees (unless separate arrangements have been made with the Administrative Agent) that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission, and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Each Lender and

#96301122v26

each Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (1) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (2) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(v) Presumption as to Delivery of E-mail. Each party agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this Section 9.02 shall be deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication as “received” in the e-mail system of the recipient; provided that if such communication is not so received during normal business hours, such communication shall be deemed delivered at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(vi) Waiver of Responsibility. Each party acknowledges that (A) although the 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 Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution (and each party assumes the risks of such distribution), (B) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,” (C) none of the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, trustees, agents, sub-agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “JPMorgan Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each JPMorgan Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (D) 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 any JPMorgan Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform.

(vii) Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower 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.

(viii) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 9.03. Amendments, Etc. Subject to Section 2.22(b) and (c) and Section 2.24, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except the Commitment Documents), nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective

#96301122v26

only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (a) increase the Commitment of any Lender, or subject any Lender to any additional obligations, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (b) reduce the principal of, or interest (or the rate of interest) on, the Loans of any Lender, or any fees (or the rate at which they accrue) or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (c) alter the manner in which Commitment reductions or payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder shall be applied as among the Lenders without the prior written consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby, (d) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans of any Lender, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (e) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders affected thereby, (f) amend Section 2.15 or this Section 9.03 without the prior written consent of all Lenders adversely affected thereby, (g) extend the commitment period of any Lender or amend the definition of “Commitment Termination Date” with respect to any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (h) amend the definition of “Applicable Percentage” without the prior written consent of all Lenders affected thereby or (i) change the payment waterfall provisions of Section 2.19(b) or 7.02 without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify an ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective on the fifth (5th) Business Day after notice thereof is provided to the Lenders without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to the Pricing Grid pursuant to the final paragraph of Annex I shall not require the written consent of any Lender, but shall require the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent only.

Section 9.04. Costs and Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity. (a) Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses

#96301122v26

incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent any Issuing Bank and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.04(b) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 9.04(c), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(c) Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Join Lead Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) on demand against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all (i) all obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (ii) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any such action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person, including stockholders, partners or other equity holders of the Borrower), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and in any capacity regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in each case, whether or not such investigation, litigation, claim or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any equity holders or creditors of the Borrower or an Indemnitee and whether or not any such Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, liabilities or related expenses are determined by final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee in the performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in no event will such Indemnitee or such other parties have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Indemnitee’s or such other parties’ activities related to the Loan Documents and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon such claim or any such

#96301122v26

damages whether or not accrued or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnitee or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Borrower will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee, as the case may be, as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability and related expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of (i) the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, partners or other equity holders on the one hand and (ii) such Indemnitee on the other hand in the matters contemplated by the Loan Documents as well as the relative fault of (i) the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, partners or other equity holders and (ii) such Indemnitee with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. This Section 9.04 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(d) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower or the Lenders hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.16, 2.18 and this Section 9.04, and the agreements and obligations of each Lender under Sections 8.05 and 9.11, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

Section 9.05. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall have no right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except Defaulting Lenders), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

Section 9.06. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it) with the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, in which case the consent of the Borrower shall not be required and provided that if the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received a written request for its consent to such assignment), each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, if demanded by the Borrower (pursuant to clause (c) below), upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, shall assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment or Loan, as applicable, of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible

#96301122v26

Assignee or an Affiliate of a Lender of the type described in clause (y) of the second proviso below, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower shall comply with clause (c) below, (v) the parties to each such assignment (which shall not include the Borrower) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (vi) the assignee, if not already a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided that the Borrower shall pay such processing and recordation fee if such assignment occurs as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.06(c)(i) or (ii); provided further that no consents shall be required (x) in the case of an assignment of the type described in clause (g) below, or (y) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender if the long term deposit rating of such Affiliate is no less than the long term deposit rating of such Lender at the time of the assignment, subject to reassignment by such Affiliate to such Lender if at any time it ceases to be an Affiliate of such Lender and prior notification of any such assignment to the Borrower. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 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 Section 2.16, 2.18 and 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender (A) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, other than the representation and warranty that it owns the interest being assigned, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and has taken all action necessary to consummate the transactions pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance; and (B) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial position of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (ii) such assignee (A) represents and warrants that it has taken all action necessary to consummate the transactions pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance; (B) confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the first such delivery, the Initial Financial Statements) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (C) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (D) confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (E) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and

#96301122v26

discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (F) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to any assignee any amounts under Section 2.16 or 2.18 in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay thereunder to the assigning Lender in the absence of such assignment, unless such assignment is made at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payments did not exist.

(c) Following (i) a demand by any Lender pursuant to, or the incurrence by the Borrower of an obligation to make a payment pursuant to, Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, (ii) any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or (iii) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all the Lenders or all affected Lenders, for which the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained, the failure of any Lender whose consent is required but not obtained to vote in favor of such amendment, modification, waiver or termination, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06(a)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees (giving effect to Section 2.19 in the event such Lender is a Defaulting Lender) and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim or obligations under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (z) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note (which shall be marked “cancelled” by the assigning Lender) a new Note to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loan, as applicable, assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or Loan, as applicable, hereunder, a new Note to the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loan, as applicable, retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

#96301122v26

(e) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and each Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 (v) no Participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16 and 2.18 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided, that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(g) as if it had acquired its interest by assignment and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.16 and 2.18, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Participant and the Commitment of, and the interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Participant from time to time (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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 absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

#96301122v26

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any regulation of the Federal Reserve or other Governmental Authority. No such assignment shall release any Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.07. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the relationship of the parties under any Loan Document, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties under any Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York.

Section 9.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.16. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The

#96301122v26

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

Section 9.17. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified in Article 7 by the Required Lenders to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 and notice to the Borrower as required under Article 7, each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Debt at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.17 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 9.18. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under the Commitment Documents and any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of the Commitment Documents that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect, except where such provisions conflict with any provision in this Agreement, in which case the latter shall have effect).

Section 9.19. 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

#96301122v26

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.

Section 9.20. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
