In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in ~~Section 4.02~~ ~~(and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension on the Closing Date,~~ ~~Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in~~

like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either, at the applicable Borrower’s election, by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of BMO with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the applicable Borrower; ~~provided~~, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing is given by the applicable Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above..

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a SOFR Loan may be continued ~~or converted~~ only on the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loan. During the existence of a Default, (i) no Loans may be ~~requested as, converted to or~~ continued as ~~SOFR~~ Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding ~~SOFR~~ Loans under the Facility be prepaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for ~~SOFR~~ Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Borrower and the Lenders of any change in BMO’s prime rate or reference rate, as the case may be, used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change; ~~provided~~, that any failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all ~~Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type~~, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Aggregate Commitments.

Section 2.03. ~~Letters of Credit.~~ [Reserved].

~~(a) ~~The Letter of Credit Commitment.~~~~

~~(i) Subject to the~~ ~~terms and conditions set forth herein~~, (A) each L/C Issuer severally agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this ~~Section 2.03~~, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of ~~a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary,~~ and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with ~~Section 2.03(b)~~, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit issued by it; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and any drawings thereunder; ~~provided~~ that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by a Borrower for the issuance, increase, extension, or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by such Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested

complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly each Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

~~(ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue, increase, or extend any Letter of Credit if:~~

~~(A)~~ ~~subject to~~ ~~Section 2.03(b)(iii)~~, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the applicable L/C Issuer and the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

~~(B)~~ ~~the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders and the applicable L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date.~~

~~(iii)~~ ~~No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue, increase, or extend any Letter of Credit if:~~

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing, increasing, or extending the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance, increase, or extension of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

~~(B) the issuance, increase, or extension of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;~~

~~(C) except as otherwise agreed~~ ~~by the Administrative Agent and~~ ~~such L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;~~

~~(D) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;~~

(E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender or a Terminating Lender, as applicable, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender or Terminating Lender, as applicable, to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure

~~(after giving effect to~~ ~~Section 2.15(a)(iv)~~ ~~and, in respect of a Terminating Lender, any reallocation pursuant to~~ ~~Section 2.17~~ in respect thereof) with respect to the Defaulting Lender or a Terminating Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion;

~~(F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder;~~

(G) the issuance, increase, or extension of the Letter of Credit would cause the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer to exceed such L/C Issuer’s L/C Issuer Sublimit; or

(H) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after such L/C Issuer’s Maturity Date, unless the L/C Issuer thereof has approved of such expiration date and the L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit have been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped in an amount and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (for the avoidance of doubt, such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a Letter of Credit under this Agreement upon such L/C Issuer’s Maturity Date).

~~(iv) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.~~

(v) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in ~~Article X~~ with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in ~~Article X~~ ~~included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers.~~

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

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the applicable Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any

other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as ~~the Administrative Agent and the~~ applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer ~~or the Administrative Agent may~~ ~~require.~~

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in ~~Article IV~~ shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage ~~times~~ ~~the amount of such Letter of Credit.~~

(iii) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic annual extension provisions for one-year periods (each, an “~~Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);~~ ~~provided~~ that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “~~Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.~~

Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the annual extension of such Letter of Credit by a period of one year at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of ~~clause (ii) or (iii) of~~ ~~Section 2.03(a)~~ ~~or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from~~ ~~the Administrative Agent that the~~ ~~Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in~~ ~~Section 4.02~~ ~~is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.~~

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

~~(c)~~ ~~Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.~~

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day after the date of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or 11:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day if notice of such drawing is received after 10:00 a.m. on the date of payment) (each such date, an “~~Honor Date~~”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the applicable Borrower fails to timely reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer on the Honor Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “~~Unreimbursed Amount~~”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in ~~Section 2.02~~ ~~for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in~~ ~~Section 4.02~~ ~~(other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)(i)~~ ~~may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; ~~provided~~ that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.~~

~~(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)(i)~~ make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of ~~Section 2.03(c)(iii)~~, each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.

~~(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in~~ ~~Section 4.02~~ cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to ~~Section 2.03(c)(ii)~~ ~~shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this~~ ~~Section 2.03.~~

~~(iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)~~ ~~to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such~~ ~~Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such~~ ~~amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.~~

~~(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the respective L/C Issuers for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)~~, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, a Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; ~~provided~~, ~~however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)~~ ~~is subject to the conditions set forth in~~ ~~Section 4.02~~ (other than delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this ~~Section 2.03(c)~~ ~~by the time specified in~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)(ii)~~, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest

and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this ~~Section 2.03(c)(vi)~~ ~~shall be conclusive absent manifest error.~~

~~(d)~~ ~~Repayment of Participations~~.

~~(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)~~, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

~~(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to~~ ~~Section 2.03(c)(i)~~ ~~is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in~~ ~~Section 11.05~~ (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) ~~Obligations Absolute~~. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly ~~in accordance with the terms of this Agreement~~ ~~under all circumstances, including the following:~~

~~(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;~~

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

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any waiver by such L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of either Borrower or any waiver by such L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice either Borrower;

~~(v) any honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;~~

(vi) any payment made by such L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC or the ISP, as applicable;

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

~~(viii) [reserved]; or~~

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

Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. Each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) ~~Role of L/C Issuer~~. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of all the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, that this assumption is not

intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of ~~Section 2.03(e)~~; ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, each Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent~~, but only to the extent~~, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit issued by it after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Any L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“~~SWIFT~~”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g) ~~Applicability of ISP~~. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible to either Borrower for, and no L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against either Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of such L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(h) ~~Letter of Credit Fees~~. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, subject to ~~Section 2.15~~, in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “~~Letter of Credit Fee~~”) for each Letter of Credit requested by it equal to the Applicable Rate ~~times~~ the the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with ~~Section 1.06~~. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

~~(i)~~ ~~Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.~~ On the date of issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to such Letter of Credit issued, extended, or increased by such L/C Issuer in an amount equal to 0.250% of the face amount of (or of the increase in the face amount of) such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the face amount of any Letter of Credit, the face amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with ~~Section 1.06.~~ In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other reasonable standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

~~(j)~~ ~~Conflict with Issuer Documents.~~ ~~In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.~~

~~(k)~~ ~~Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries.~~ Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 2.04. ~~Swing Line Loans.~~ [Reserved].

~~(a)~~ ~~The Swing Line.~~ Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the US Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Swing Line Lender’s Maturity Date ~~in an aggregate amount not to exceed~~ at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, that (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the US Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the US Borrower may borrow under this ~~Section 2.04, prepay under~~ ~~Section 2.05~~, ~~and reborrow under this~~ ~~Section 2.04~~. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage ~~times~~ ~~the amount of such Swing Line Loan.~~

(b) ~~Borrowing Procedures~~. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the US Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (i) telephone or (ii) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; ~~provided~~ that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such Swing Line Loan Notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (A) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (B) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (i) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of ~~Section 2.04(a)~~, or (ii) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the US Borrower.

~~(c) ~~Refinancing of Swing Line Loans~~.~~

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the US Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount ~~equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount~~ of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Swing Line Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of ~~Section 2.02~~, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in ~~Section 4.02~~. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the US Borrower with a copy of the applicable Swing Line Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to ~~Section 2.04(c)(ii)~~, each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the US Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with ~~Section 2.04(c)(i)~~, the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment ~~to the Administrative Agent for the~~ ~~account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to ~~Section 2.04(c)(i)~~ shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.~~

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this ~~Section 2.04(c)~~ by the time specified in ~~Section 2.04(c)(i)~~, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this ~~Section 2.04(c)~~ shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this ~~Section 2.04(c)~~ is subject to the conditions set forth in ~~Section 4.02~~. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the US Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

~~(d) ~~Repayment of Participations~~.~~

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in ~~Section 11.05~~ (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) ~~Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender~~. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the US Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

~~(f) ~~Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender~~. The US Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.~~

Section 2.05. Prepayments. ~~(a) Optional. .~~

applied ratably to the Facility, and subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the Facility. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05, shall permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments, and the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.

Section 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. .

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, ~~the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit~~, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments~~, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit~~; provided that: (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce ~~(A)~~ the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total ~~Revolving~~ Credit Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit..

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the ~~Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or the~~ Aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.06.

(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by a Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) While any Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(v) If any amount of principal of any Loan is prepaid in accordance with Section 2.05, such interest accruing on such portion of prepaid Loans shall cease to accrue on such date of prepayment and shall be paid in kind as set forth in Section 2.08(b).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the interest on the Loans due and owing on October 10, 2023, shall be paid in kind by ratably increasing the amount of the Loans by the amount of such interest due, and such adjusted principal shall incur interest from such original Interest Payment Date.

(c) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

(d) The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder.

(e) The rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Section 2.09. Fees~~. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i):~~

~~(a)~~ ~~Commitment Fee~~. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate for commitment fees times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in ~~Section 2.15~~. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments for purposes of determining the commitment fee. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the period commencing on the Closing Date until the applicable Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in ~~Article IV~~ is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on each Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(i) Consent Fee. On the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall earn, for the ratable account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), a consent fee in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount that is [***]% of the Aggregate Commitments on such date, which consent fee shall be paid in kind on such date by ratably increasing principal amount of the applicable Loans..

(ii) Exit Fee. On the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall earn, for the ratable account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), an exit fee in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount that is [***]% of the Aggregate Commitments on such date, which exit fee shall be payable in cash on the earlier of the date the Obligations are paid in full in cash or the Maturity Date.

(b) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate; Conforming Changes. .

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Adjusted Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided ~~that~~, any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the US Borrower or for any other reason, the US Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the US Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under ~~Sections 2.03(c)(iii)~~, ~~2.03(h)~~ or ~~2.08 (b)~~ or under ~~Article VIII~~. Each Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

(cb) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.11. Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to a Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to such Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, ~~Type (if applicable),~~ amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in ~~Section 2.11(a)~~, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.12. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without condition, deduction or withholdings for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment, or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments due under this Agreement shall be made in the United States. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(i) ~~Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent~~. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such 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 ~~Section 2.02~~ (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by ~~Section 2.02~~) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable 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 applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(i) [reserved].

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders ~~or an L/C Issuer hereunder~~ that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders ~~or the applicable L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes to any Lender~~, L/C Issuer~~ or other Secured Party as to which Administrative Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) a Borrower has not in fact made the corresponding payment to Administrative Agent; (2) Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount(s) received by it from a Borrower either individually or in the aggregate (whether

or not then owed); or (3) Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Secured Parties severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Secured Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or either Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, ~~to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans~~ and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(d) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(e) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, ~~L/C Borrowings,~~ interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties~~, and (ii) ~~second~~, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings~~ ~~then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal~~ ~~and L/C Borrowings~~ ~~then due to such parties~~.

Section 2.13. Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of

the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans ~~and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders~~, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be,; provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) ~~the application of Cash Collateral provided for in ~~Section 2.14~~, or (z)~~ any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans ~~or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant~~, other than an assignment to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.14. ~~~~Cash Collateral~~~~[Reserved].

(a) ~~Certain Credit Support Events~~. If (i) an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to ~~Section 8.02(c)~~, or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases), following any request by the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to ~~Section 2.15(a)(iv)~~ and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time the Administrative Agent

determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that are free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer.

(b) ~~Grant of Security Interest~~. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, ~~for the benefit of the Administrative Agent~~, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to ~~Section 2.14(c)~~. If at any time the Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at BMO. Each Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary and reasonable account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c) ~~Application~~. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this ~~Section 2.14~~ or ~~Sections 2.03~~, ~~2.04~~, ~~2.05~~, ~~2.15~~ or ~~8.02~~ in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) ~~Release~~. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with ~~Section 11.06(b)(vi)~~)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers that there exists excess Cash Collateral; ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.15. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01 and in the definition of “Required Lenders”.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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 Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 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 the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender hereunder; ~~third~~, to Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with ~~Section 2.14~~; ~~fourth~~, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no 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~~third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, 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 each L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with ~~Section 2.14~~; ~~sixth~~; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders~~, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender~~ as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any ~~Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line~~ Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; ~~seventh~~fifth , so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to either Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ~~eighth~~sixth, 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 L/C Borrowings~~ 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 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, ~~and L/C Obligations owed to,~~ all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, ~~or L/C Obligations owed to,~~ such Defaulting Lender until such time as all ~~Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line~~ Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender ~~or to post Cash Collateral~~ pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to ~~Section 2.14~~.[reserved].

(C) With respect to any fee payable under ~~Section 2.09(a)~~, any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, each Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the applicable L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.[reserved].

(iv) ~~Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure~~. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be automatically reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in ~~Section 4.02~~ are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless either Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to ~~Section 11.22~~, 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.[reserved].

(v) ~~Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans~~. If the reallocation described in ~~clause (a)(iv)~~ above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) ~~first~~, prepay Swing Line ~~Loans in an amount equal to~~ ~~the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) ~~second~~, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in ~~Section 2.14~~.~~[reserved].

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If each Borrower, and the Administrative Agent~~, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers~~ agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein ~~(which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral)~~, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the ~~Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line~~ Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of a Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.16. ~~Increase in Commitments~~[Reserved].

(a) ~~Request for Increase~~. Prior to the latest Maturity Date (determined at the time of request), provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders identified by the Borrowers), the Borrowers may from time to time, request increases in the aggregate Commitments; ~~provided~~ that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, and (ii) no such increase shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto the Aggregate Commitments would exceed $390,000,000. At the time of sending such notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the applicable Lenders).

(b) ~~Lender Elections to Increase~~. Each applicable Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period determined as set forth in clause (a) above whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any applicable Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

(c) ~~Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders~~. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. Subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the same extent their approval would be needed for an assignment to such new lender, the Borrowers may also invite additional Eligible Assignees (including prior to, and in lieu of, inviting Lenders) to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel (so long as the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee equals or exceeds $5,000,000 on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date).

~~(d) ~~Effective Date and Allocations~~. If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section,~~ ~~the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers~~ shall determine the effective date (the “~~Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date~~”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.

(e) ~~Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase~~. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching thereto the resolutions adopted by the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of such Loan Party approving and consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) ~~the representations and warranties of the~~ Borrowers and each other Loan Party contained in ~~Article V~~ or any other Loan Document, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for such representations and warranties that have a materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for such representations and warranties that have a materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this ~~Section 2.16(e)~~, the representations and warranties contained in ~~Sections 5.05(a)~~ and ~~(b)~~ shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to ~~Sections 6.01(a)~~ and ~~(b)~~, respectively, and (B) no Default exists or will result from such increase. The Borrowers shall prepay (or make other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent with respect to) any Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (and pay (or otherwise make arrangements reasonably acceptable to each relevant Lender with respect to) any additional amounts required pursuant to ~~Section 3.05~~) to the extent necessary (as determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the US Borrower) to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(f) ~~General~~. If any Lender’s Commitment is increased in accordance with this ~~Section 2.16~~, (i) immediately upon each Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, ~~Schedule 2.01~~ hereof shall be amended and restated to set forth all Lenders and their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increases, (ii) all calculations and payments of interest on the Loans shall take into account the actual Commitments of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Loan made by such Lender during the relevant period of time, and (iii) immediately upon each Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, each Lender’s participation in the L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans on such Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date shall automatically be deemed to equal ~~such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the~~ ~~L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to the Commitment increases on such Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date).~~

~~(g) ~~Conflicting Provisions~~. This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in ~~Section 2.13~~ or ~~Section 11.01~~ to the contrary.~~

Section 2.17. ~~Extension of Maturity Date~~[Reserved].

(a) ~~Request of Extension~~. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the latest Maturity Date (determined at the time of request), upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders and L/C Issuers of such notice), the Borrower shall have the option to request (such request, an “~~Extension Request~~”) an extension of the latest Maturity Date (determined at the time of request) then in effect for an additional one-year period with respect to the existing Commitments; ~~provided~~ that no more than one (1) one-year extension shall be permitted hereunder ~~as of the Amendment No.~~ 1 Effective Date. Any election by a Lender and L/C Issuer to extend its Commitment will be at such Lender’s and L/C Issuer’s sole discretion and such Lender’s failure to provide written consent to an Extension Request within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of delivery of such Extension Request shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender to so extend its Maturity Date.

(b) ~~Extension; Conditions Precedent~~. Subject to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of written consents to such Extension Request from the Required Lenders (each such consenting Lender, an “~~Extending Lender~~”) and so long as no Default then exists or would be caused thereby, the Maturity Date shall be extended for an additional one-year period for each Extending Lender (the date on which all applicable conditions are satisfied and such extension occurs, the “~~Extension Effective Date~~”); ~~provided~~ that (i) each non-extending Lender (together with its successors and assigns, each a “~~Non-Extending Lender~~”) shall be required only to complete its Commitment up to the previously effective Maturity Date (without giving effect to such Extension Request), (ii)(A) the Commitment of each Extending Lender (including the Commitment of each Additional Lender (as defined below)) shall be on the same terms and conditions as the Commitment of each other Extending Lender and Additional Lender and (B) the Commitment of each Extending Lender shall be on the same terms and conditions as the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender, except that: (1) the Maturity Date of the Extending Lenders may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Non-Extending Lenders; (2) fees (whether in the form of arrangement, structuring, upfront, or other fees or discounts, but excluding commitment fees, Letter of Credit Fees, and, except for any fees under ~~Section 2.09(b)~~, any other fees expressly provided for in this Agreement) with respect to the Extending Lenders may be different from fees with respect to the Non-Extending Lenders and (3) any other covenants and terms (including, without limitation, pricing) that apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date (determined at the time of extension) in effect immediately prior to the Extension Effective Date may be different from covenants and terms that apply to any period prior to such date, and (iii) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the applicable Extension Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of each Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching thereto the resolutions adopted by the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of each of the Loan Parties approving and consenting to such extension and (B) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, as of and immediately after giving effect to the applicable Extension Effective Date, (y) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party contained in ~~Article V~~ or any other Loan Document, are true and correct in all material respects (except for such representations and warranties that have a materiality or Material

Adverse Effect qualification, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the applicable Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except for such representations and warranties that have a materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and, except that for purposes of this ~~Section 2.17(b)~~, the representations and warranties contained in ~~Sections 5.05(a)~~ and ~~(b)~~ are deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to ~~Sections 6.01(a)~~ and ~~(b)~~, respectively and (z) no Default exists or will result from such extension; ~~provided~~, further, that with respect to any previously Non-Extending Lender who is an Extending Lender with respect to a current Extension Request, by giving its consent, such Extending Lender shall also be deemed to have approved each prior extension of its Maturity Date as to which it was a Non-Extending Lender.

(c) ~~Payments to Non-Extending Lenders; Reduction of Commitment~~. The unpaid principal amount of all Loans owing to each Non-Extending Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement and all other amounts due to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement, including any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to this Agreement, shall become due and payable by the Borrowers on such Non-Extending Lender’s effective Maturity Date (for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to such Extension Request) or the earlier replacement of such Non-Extending Lender pursuant to ~~Section 2.17(d)~~ below. The Aggregate Commitments shall be reduced by the total Commitments of all Non-Extending Lenders expiring on each such Non-Extending Lender’s effective Maturity Date (for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to such Extension Request), unless and until one or more lenders (including other Lenders) shall have agreed to assume a, or increase its, Commitment hereunder (in which case such portion of the Aggregate Commitment shall be reinstated for such new Lender pursuant to this Section). Each Non-Extending Lender shall be required to maintain its original Commitment until its Maturity Date (for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to such Extension Request) that such Non-Extending Lender had previously agreed upon.

~~(d) ~~Replacement of Lender~~. The Borrower shall have~~ ~~the right at any time to~~ replace each Non-Extending Lender (i) with one or more financial institutions (each, an “Additional Lender”) (A) that are existing Lenders (and, if any such ~~Additional Lender~~ is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date) or (B) that are not existing Lenders; ~~provided~~ that any financial institution that is not an existing Lender (x) must be an Eligible Assignee and (y) must become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on a non-pro rata basis with any such financial institution that is willing to grant the Extension Request, including at a higher or lower Commitment than such Non-Extending Lenders’ respective Commitments; ~~provided~~ further that that any replacement of one or more Non-Extending Lenders that results in a higher Aggregate Commitment than the Aggregate Commitment in effect prior the applicable Extension Effective Date shall, to the extent of such excess, be effected pursuant to the requirements of ~~Section 2.16~~.

(e) General. If any Maturity Date is extended in accordance with this ~~Section 2.17~~, (i) upon such Extension Effective Date, ~~Schedule 2.01~~ hereof shall be amended and restated to set forth all Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) and their respective Commitments and Maturity Dates after giving effect to such extensions, (ii) all calculations and payments of interest on the Loans shall take into account the actual Commitments of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Loan made by such Lender during the relevant period of time, and (iii) immediately prior to the occurrence of (A) the original Maturity Date and (B) any extended Maturity Date (other than the latest Maturity Date that is not then being extended), the participation interest in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of each Lender whose Commitment terminates on such Maturity Date (a “~~Terminating Lender~~”) shall be automatically reallocated (effective on such Maturity Date) among the Lenders whose Commitments do not terminate on such Maturity Date (each a “~~Remaining Lender~~”) in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Terminating Lenders’ Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in ~~Sections 4.02(a)~~ and ~~4.02(b)~~ are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Remaining Lender to exceed such Remaining Lender’s Commitment. If the reallocation described in this ~~Section 2.17(e)~~ cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any L/C Issuer hereunder or under Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans ~~in an amount equal to~~ the portion of the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure that was attributable to Terminating Lenders but was not so reallocated and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in an amount equal to the portion of such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (plus all related fees and expenses with respect to such Letters of Credit then outstanding over their remaining terms) that was attributable to Terminating Lenders but was not so reallocated.

~~(f) ~~Conflicting Provisions~~. This ~~Section 2.17~~ shall supersede any provisions in ~~Section 2.13~~ or ~~Section 11.01~~ to the contrary.~~

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers, as applicable, shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after 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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Loan Party 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.

(f) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably

requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below or (B) required by applicable Law, other than the Code, or the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable Law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding Tax in that jurisdiction, to the extent the Lender is legally entitled to deliver such documentation) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of either Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of either Borrower or the Administrative 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 (as applicable) 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-8 BEN-E (as applicable) 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 either Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8 BEN-E (as applicable); 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 or IRS Form W-8 BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(iv) The Administrative Agent (and any assignee or successor) will deliver, to the Borrowers, on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, assignment or succession, if applicable), either (i) (A) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and (B) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch”) for the amounts the Administrative Agent receives for the account of others, or (ii) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-9, whichever is applicable, and in each case of (i) and (ii), with the effect that the Borrowers can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by the United States.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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 (g) (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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender ~~or L/C Issuer~~, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank or money market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue the relevant Loans in the affected currency or

currencies shall be suspended; provided that if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be ~~determined by the Administrative Agent~~ without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all ~~SOFR~~ Loans of such Lender to ~~Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary~~any evolving or then prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time to avoid such illegality~~, be~~ ~~determined by the Administrative Agent~~ ~~without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate)~~, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such ~~SOFR~~ Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such ~~SOFR~~ Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension, compute~~, in~~ the ~~case of SOFR Loans, the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component~~rate using any evolving or then prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If in connection with any request for a continuation of SOFR Loan ~~or a conversion to or continuation thereof~~, (i) subject to Section 3.03(b), the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (A) “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Adjusted Term SOFR or any component thereof for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan ~~or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan~~ (in each case with respect to clause (i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such SOFR Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain ~~SOFR~~ Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected ~~SOFR~~ Loans or Interest Periods), in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Adjusted Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a ~~Borrowing of, conversion to or~~ continuation of ~~SOFR~~ Loans (to the extent of the affected ~~SOFR~~ Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into, ~~in the case of a requested SOFR Loan,~~ a request for a Borrowing of ~~Base Rate Loans~~ Loans at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent using any evolving or then prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time, in the amount specified therein.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

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

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

(iii) Notice; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.03(b) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision, or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.03(b), 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 3.03(b).

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

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, a Borrower may revoke any pending request for a ~~Borrowing of, conversion to, or~~ continuation of ~~SOFR~~ Loans to be ~~made, converted, or~~ continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ~~Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for~~ a rate determined by the Administrative Agent using any evolving or then prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to 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.~~for Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

Section 3.04. Increased Costs; Reserves on ~~SOFR~~ Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender ~~or any L/C Issuer~~;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income 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) impose on any Lender ~~or any L/C Issuer~~ or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender ~~or any Letter of Credit or participation therein~~;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit)~~, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer hereunder~~ (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender ~~or any L/C Issuer~~ determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or ~~such L/C Issuer or~~ any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ capital or on the capital of such Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, ~~or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by,~~ such Lender, ~~or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer,~~ to a level below that which such Lender or such ~~L/C Issuer or such~~ Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ policies and the policies of such Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or ~~such L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such ~~L/C Issuer or such~~ Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender ~~or an L/C Issuer~~ setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~ or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender ~~or any L/C Issuer~~ to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ right to demand such compensation,; provided that, neither Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender ~~or an L/C Issuer~~ pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s ~~or such L/C Issuer’s~~ intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.05. Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

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

(b) any failure by either Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan ~~other than a Base Rate Loan~~ on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or

~~(c) [reserved]; or~~

(dc) any assignment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 11.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to Borrowers, with a copy to Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost, or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost, or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers absent manifest error.

Section 3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to either Borrower through any Lending Office,; provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires either Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, ~~any L/C Issuer,~~ or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender ~~or any L/C Issuer~~ pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrowers such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~ shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer,~~ such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender ~~or such L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or ~~such L/C Issuer~~, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender ~~or any L/C Issuer~~ in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if either Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13. ~~If any Lender is a Non-Extending Lender, and the Required Lenders have approved the related Extension Request, then the Borrowers may replace such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with~~ ~~Section 2.17(d)~~ ~~and~~ ~~Section 11.13.~~

Section 3.07. Survival. All obligations of the Loan Parties under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(d) The consolidated forecasted balance sheet, statements of income and cash flows of the US Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 4.01 were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed to be reasonable in light of the conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis, the estimated consolidated financial position of the US Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date (it being understood that such forecasts are estimates and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies (many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties), no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized and actual results may differ and that such differences may be material).

Section 5.06. Litigation.

102

(b) The Terminals are owned in fee simple or are covered by real property leases, or other instruments (collectively “Terminal Deeds”) in favor of a Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary. Such ownership or Terminal Deeds permit a Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary to construct, operate, and maintain the Terminals in, over, under, and across the land covered thereby in the same way that a prudent owner and operator would inspect, operate, repair, and maintain similar assets and in the same way as the Borrowers or the Restricted Subsidiaries have inspected, operated, repaired, and maintained the Terminals as reflected in the Audited Financial Statements, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01.

(d) The Terminals are located within the boundaries of the property affected by the Terminal Deeds or certificate of title, as applicable, and do not encroach upon any adjoining property, except where the failure of the Terminals to be so located, individually or in the aggregate, (i) does not materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of Business and (ii) does not have a Material Adverse Effect. The buildings and improvements owned or leased by either Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and the operation and maintenance thereof, do not (i) contravene any applicable zoning or building Law or ordinance or other administrative regulation or (ii) violate any applicable restrictive covenant or any applicable Law, in each case, the contravention or violation of which would materially and adversely affect the use of such buildings and improvements.

(e) Neither Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has received any written notice that any eminent domain or expropriation proceeding or taking has been commenced with respect to all or any portion of the Terminals, and, to the knowledge of the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, no such proceeding or taking is threatened except, in each case, for that which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

There is no proposed Tax assessment against either Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders ~~and the L/C Issuers~~, and neither Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders ~~(including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuers~~ hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and ~~such L/C Issuer~~ for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

149

Section 10.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person 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 business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 10.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may ~~effect~~affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to either Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent 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 shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders ~~and the L/C Issuers~~, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(h) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

If BMO resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender ~~other than a Defaulting Lender),~~ (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 10.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender ~~and each L/C Issuer~~ also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information 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.

Section 10.08. No Other Duties, Etc.

Section 10.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan ~~or L/C Obligation~~ shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on either Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

153

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans~~, L/C Obligations~~ 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 L/C Issuers~~ and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders~~, the L/C Issuers~~ and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders~~, the L/C Issuers~~ and the Administrative Agent under ~~Sections 2.03(h) and (i),~~ 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender ~~and each L/C Issuer~~ to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders ~~and the L/C Issuers~~, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

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 any L/C Issuer~~ any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender ~~or any L/C Issuer~~ to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or ~~any L/C Issuer or~~ in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the ~~Required~~Supermajority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or

154

vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the ~~Required~~Supermajority Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the ~~Required~~Supermajority Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (i) of Section 11.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Section 10.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Without limiting Section 10.09, each of the Lenders ~~(including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuers~~ irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to (and at the request of a Borrower, the Administrative Agent, shall):

(a) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than ~~(A)~~ contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall have been made),) and (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) that constitutes “Excluded Property” (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents; and

~~(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i); and~~

(dc) release the Parent Guaranty (as defined under and in the Existing Credit Agreement).

155

In each case as specified in this Section 10.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate the Administrative Agent’s interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.10.

Section 10.11. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, ~~only to the extent expressly~~ provided in the Loan Documents. Further, each such Secured Party, by virtue of obtaining the benefits of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of Section 10.12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

Section 10.11. [Reserved]

. Section 10.12. Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time Administrative Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Lender~~, L/C Issuer~~ or other Secured Party, whether or not in respect of Obligations due and owing by a Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each such Person receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to (a) repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Person in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate, (b) that such Rescindable Amount shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated in this Section 10.12 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent by such Person receiving such Rescindable Amount, and (c) that the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of any Person receiving a Rescindable Amount that is not recovered by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender~~, each L/C Issuer~~ and each other Secured Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another), “good

156

consideration”, “change of position” or similar defenses (whether at law or in equity) to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing or payable to, or otherwise distributable by the Administrative Agent to, such Lender or Secured Party against any Rescindable Amount demanded to be returned hereunder. Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender, ~~L/C Issuer~~ or other Secured Party that received a Rescindable Amount promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Person comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Each Person’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender ~~or L/C Issuer~~, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans ~~(including for purposes of this~~ ~~Section 11.06(b)~~, ~~participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans)~~ at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and~~, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent~~ (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of each Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; ~~provided~~ that each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

165

(A) [reserved].

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; .

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment of any Commitment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under any Swing Line Loan (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to either Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent~~, the L/C Issuers~~ or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its share of the Total Credit Exposure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

166

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans ~~and L/C Obligations~~ owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, either Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or either Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant” ) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans ~~(including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans)~~ owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders ~~and the L/C Issuers~~ shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’ s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

167

(e) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation 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 agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

168

~~(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.~~ ~~Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time BMO, Citibank, N.A., or U.S. Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to~~ ~~Section 11.06(b)~~, BMO, Citibank, N.A., or U.S. Bank, as applicable, may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to each Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) in the case of BMO, upon 30 days’ notice to each Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender hereunder; ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of BMO, Citibank, N.A., or U.S. Bank, as applicable, as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If BMO, Citibank, N.A., or U.S. Bank, resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to ~~Section 2.03(c))~~. If BMO resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to ~~Section 2.04(c)~~. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such retiring L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Each of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders ~~and the L/C Issuers~~ agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information, and instructed to keep such Information confidential, and any advisor of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders~~, and the L/C Issuers~~ (including the Administrative Agent’s Professionals) shall be bound by the terms of this Section 11.07), (b) to the extent required or requested by, any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder (provided that Information shall not be made publicly available or filed on any public docket without the advance written consent of the Borrowers or as requested by any court of competent jurisdiction unless it is filed under seal), (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or ~~any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(c) or~~ (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative

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

Section 11.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, ~~any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender,~~ 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. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied ~~or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding~~.

171

Section 11.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, ~~an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable,~~ then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 11.13. Replacement of Lenders. If a Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their 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, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.06(b) (unless such Eligible Assignee is already a Lender);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans ~~and L/C Advances~~, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws;

(e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; and

(f) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Extending Lender, the Borrowers shall have received the consent of the applicable assignee to the applicable Extension Request.

172

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrowers elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 11.13, upon receipt by such Lender being replaced of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to the terms hereof, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided, that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

Section 11.14. Keepwell. .

At the time the Guarantee or the grant of the security interest under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering any Borrower’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 11.14, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable Law, including applicable Law of fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of the Borrowers under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Borrower intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Each Credit Party shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each of the Loan Parties and each Credit Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Credit Party and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Credit Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) and pursuant to the requirements of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada))

Section 11.20. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from a Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

Section 11.26. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special

180

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

(b) As used in this Section 11.26, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 11.27. CRO. The Borrowers hereby agree that the CRO shall have, and shall be delegated, the following rights, power and authority, in his capacity as a director and with appropriate day-to-day decision authority to interact with key constituents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and to instruct employees to support the CRO’s efforts, and to take such action on the Loan Parties’ behalf as described in this Credit Agreement or elsewhere and as follows:

(a) subject to Section 7.05 of this Credit Agreement, the right to veto any Disposition of assets by the Loan Parties, which shall not be completed by the Loan Parties without the approval of the CRO;
