The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Swing Line Bank available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

(d)Repayment of Swing Line Loans. Each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full by the Borrower on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Borrowing Date for such Swing Line Loan. The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans or, in a minimum amount of $500,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Bank. In addition, the Administrative Agent (i) may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loan, or (ii) shall, in the event the Borrower shall not have otherwise repaid such Loan, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Borrowing Date of any Swing Line Loan, require each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Bank) to make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan, for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan. The making of such Revolving Loans by the Revolving Lenders shall discharge the Borrower’s obligation under the first sentence of this Section 2.02(d) and such failure to pay shall not constitute a Default by the Borrower. Promptly following receipt of notice pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) from the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender shall make available its required Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article 14. Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall initially be Floating Rate Loans and thereafter may be continued as Floating Rate Loans or converted into Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.09 and subject to the other conditions and limitations therein set forth and set forth in this Article 2. Unless a Revolving Lender shall have notified the Swing Line Bank, prior to its making any Swing Line Loan, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, as applicable, had not then been satisfied, such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) to repay Swing Line Loans shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank or any other Person, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or (D) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make payment to

55

the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.02(d), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Revolving Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Revolving Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Revolving Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.02(d), such Revolving Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swing Line Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the applicable Swing Line Loan in the amount of such Revolving Loan, and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand and ending on the date such amount is received. On the Revolving Loan Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.

Section 2.03    Rate Options for all Advances; Maximum Interest Periods. The Swing Line Loans shall be Floating Rate Loans at all times or shall bear interest at such other rate as may be agreed to between the Borrower and the Swing Line Bank at the time of the making of any such Swing Line Loan. The Revolving Loans and Term Loans may be Floating Rate Loans or Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.09. The Borrower may select, in accordance with Section 2.09, rate options and Interest Periods applicable to the Revolving Loans and Term Loans; provided that there shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Loans at any time.

Section 2.04    Prepayment of Loans.

(a)Optional Prepayments.

(i)Subject to clause (b) below, the Borrower may from time to time and at any time upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice repay or prepay, without penalty or premium all or any part of outstanding Floating Rate Loans comprising the same Advance in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Advances of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans may be voluntarily repaid or prepaid on or prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, subject to the indemnification provisions contained in Section 4.04, providedthat the Borrower may not so prepay Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans unless it shall have provided at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such prepayment and provided, further that optional prepayments of Advances of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans made pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i) shall be for the entire amount of the outstanding Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans that are Revolving Loans of such Advance. Prior to any repayment of any Advances of any Class under this Section, the Borrower shall select the Advances or Advances of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such selection. Each repayment of an Advance shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Advance. Repayments of Advances shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid.

(ii)In the event any Term Loans are subject to a Repricing Event prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, a Term Lender whose Term Loans are prepaid or repaid in whole or in part, or which is required to assign any of its Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.1920, in connection with such Repricing Event or which holds a Term Loan the All-in Yield of which is reduced as a result of a Repricing Event shall be paid an amount

56

equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, assigned or repriced.

(b)Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall, no later than one Business Day following the day such Net Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received), prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to (x) in the case of an event described in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event” an amount equal to the Asset Sale/Casualty Event Percentage multiplied by Net Proceeds received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such event or (y) otherwise, 100.0% of such Net Proceeds; provided that, in the case of any event described in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if the Borrower shall, prior to the date of the required prepayment, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the effect that the Borrower intends to cause the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be applied within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds to acquire real property, equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the business of the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries, or to consummate any Permitted Acquisition (or any other acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of (or all or substantially all the assets constituting a business unit, division, product line or line of business of) any Person) permitted hereunder, and certifying that no Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds from such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such 365-day period (or within a period of 180 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 365-day period the Borrower or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries shall have entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire such real property, equipment or other tangible assets, or to consummate such Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition, with such Net Proceeds), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied (and no prepayment shall be required to the extent the aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds that are not reinvested in accordance with this Section does not exceed $10,000,000 in any fiscal year); provided, further that to the extent any such Net Proceeds shall be received in respect of assets owned by a Loan Party, such Net Proceeds may be reinvested only in assets owned by a Loan Party or, in the case of a Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition, by any Person that shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor upon the consummation thereof (other than, in each case, Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries, except to the extent such Net Proceeds shall have resulted from the sale of Equity Interests in one or more Foreign Subsidiaries).

(ii)In the event that the Borrower has Excess Cash Flow for any fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, the Borrower shall, not later than ninety (90) days following the end of such fiscal year, prepay Term Loans on a pro rata basis between the Classes of Term Loans in an amount equal to the excess of (x) an amount equal to the ECF Percentage multiplied by Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year over (y) the amount of prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i) during such fiscal year (other than any such prepayment made with the proceeds of Indebtedness).

(iii)[Reserved].

57

(iv)Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Loan Advances under this Section, the Borrower shall, subject to the next sentence, specify the Term Loan Advance or Term Loan Advances to be prepaid in the notice of such prepayment. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loan Advances from a Prepayment Event under clauses (a) or (b) of the definition thereof made at a time when Term Loan Advances of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Loan Advances to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Term Loan Advances pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of each such Class; provided that to the extent provided in the relevant Incremental Term Loan Amendment or Extension Agreement, any Class of Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans may be paid on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with any other Class of Term Loans. Any prepayment of Loans from a Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of “Prepayment Event” shall be applied to the Class or Classes of Loans selected by the Borrower.

(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) at least one Business Day (or such shorter period as may be established by the Administrative Agent) prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04 (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section or a prepayment pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Prepayment Event,” which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the payment that would have been applied to prepay Loans but was so declined may be retained by the Borrower and shall constitute “Declined Proceeds.”

(vi)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of any optional prepayment and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment hereunder (A) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (B) in the case of prepayment of a Floating Rate Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Advance or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of prepayment of Advances pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Advance shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of an Advance of the same Type as provided in Section 2.04(a), except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of an Advance shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Advance. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.11. In no event (except pursuant to Section 2.05 below) shall a repayment or a prepayment of a Revolving Loan result in a reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

(vii)Foreign Prepayment Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.04(b), mandatory prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(iii)) arising from the receipt of Net Proceeds from any Prepayment Event by or the Excess Cash Flow attributable to any Foreign Subsidiary (each, a “Foreign Mandatory Prepayment Event”) shall not be required (A) to the extent the making of any

58

such Foreign Mandatory Prepayment Event (or the repatriation of funds to effect such payment) would give rise to a material adverse Tax consequence (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (B) so long as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation thereof to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly file any required forms, obtain any necessary consents and take all similar actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation); provided that if such repatriation of any such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is later permitted under applicable law, such repatriation will, subject to clause (A) above, be effected as promptly as practicable and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, will be promptly after such repatriation applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b) to the extent provided herein.

(c)[Reserved].

Section 2.05    Reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments; Expansion Option.

(a)Reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments.

(i)The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders, in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount (unless the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced in whole), upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations. All accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans hereunder and all accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable upon any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment on the amount so reduced.

(b)Expansion Option.

(i)The Borrower may from time to time after the Closing Date elect to increase the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (each, a “Revolving Loan Increase”) or increase the aggregate principal amount of any Class of Term Loans or enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”), in each case in minimum amounts of $50,000,000 and increments of $10,000,000 so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loan Increases and such Incremental Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans in respect of Refinancing Term Loans) does not exceed (A) (i) an aggregate amount equal to the greater of (x) $600,000,000 and (y) 100.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower most recently ended on or prior to such date for which Financial Statements have been delivered plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of any prepayments of Term Loans (in the case of Term Loans consisting of Incremental Term Loans (or any refinancing thereof) solely to the extent incurred in reliance on this clause (A)) made pursuant to Section 2.04(a) following the Closing Date to the extent not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness for borrowed money plus (B) an additional amount, so long as, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount (and assuming for such purposes that the entire amount of any such Revolving Loan Increase is fully funded), the pro forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00 (or, if such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio in effect

59

immediately prior thereto); provided that, for purposes of this clause (B), net cash proceeds of Incremental Term Loans incurred at such time shall not be netted against the applicable amount of Consolidated First Lien Indebtedness for purposes of such calculation of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio at such time plus (C) solely in connection with the redemption of the Existing 2027 Notes in accordance with the 2027 Notes Conditional Redemption Notice, an aggregate principal amount of $650,000,000 (the “2027 Notes Redemption Basket”); provided that (i) only Incremental Term Loans (and not a Revolving Loan Increase) shall be permitted by this clause (C) and (ii) such Incremental Term Loans shall be incurred in one Advance that shall occur no more than one (1) Business Day prior to such redemption of the Existing 2027 Notes; provided, further, that the aggregate principal amount of the sum of all (x) Revolving Loan Increases, taken as a whole, plus (y) Incremental Term Loans incurred in the form of “term A loans” (which shall mean a term loan facility with amortization (without giving effect to any increase made solely to make such Incremental Term Loans fungible with any Term Loans) greater than 1.0% per year prior to maturity or that mature prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date), taken as a whole, shall not exceed $300,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such Revolving Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loan to be provided by one or more existing Lenders (each existing Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Loan Commitment, or to participate in such Incremental Term Loans, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Revolving Loan Commitments or to participate in such Incremental Term Loans (it being agreed that any Lender approached to provide any such Revolving Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Revolving Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loans); provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Revolving Loan Increase, the Issuing Banks (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) with respect to any Revolving Loan Increase, (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto (each, an “Increasing Lender Supplement”), and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto (each, an “Augmenting Lender Supplement”). No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the Revolving Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loan) shall be required for any Revolving Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i), as applicable. Revolving Loan Increases and Incremental Term Loans created pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i), shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Increasing Lender participating in such tranche, each Augmenting Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.05(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (or in the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender) or Incremental Term Loans shall become effective under this paragraph unless:

(1)on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase or Incremental Term Loans, (x) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 5.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders;

60

provided that if the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, (i) the condition set forth in such paragraph (a) shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders as of the date the definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into and (ii) the condition set forth in such paragraph (b) shall be limited to the accuracy of the Specified Representations, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (y) in the case of any incurrence utilizing the 2027 Notes Redemption Basket, substantially concurrently with the funding of such Incremental Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written evidence to the Administrative Agent of its having notified the trustee in respect of the Existing 2027 Notes of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the redemption of the Existing 2027 Notes set forth in the 2027 Notes Conditional Redemption Notice and the 2027 Notes Conditional Redemption Notice shall not have been rescinded, supplemented or otherwise modified; and

(2)the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase (including, without limitation, opinions of counsel for the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(ii)On the effective date of any Revolving Loan Increase, (A) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Revolving Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Revolving Lenders to equal such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Revolving Credit Availability at such time and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a Borrowing/Election Notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.07). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.04 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

(iii)The terms and conditions of any Revolving Loan Increase and the Incremental Term Loans shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Revolving Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loan Amendment, identical to those of the Revolving Loan Commitment and Term Loans, as applicable; provided that (A) if the All-in Yield for any Incremental Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans in respect of Refinancing Term Loans) exceeds the All-in Yield for the Term Loans by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Term Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Term Yield Differential (plus, if elected by the Borrower in its sole discretion, an additional amount in order to make the Term Loans fungible with such

61

Incremental Term Loans), effective upon the making of such Incremental Term Loans; provided that this clause (A) shall not be applicable to any Incremental Term Loan that (x) is incurred after the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date or (y) incurred in connection with a Change of Control or transformative acquisition not otherwise permitted under the this Agreement (this clause (A) being referred to herein as the “MFN Provision”), (B) no Incremental Term Maturity Date shall be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (D) the Incremental Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the Term Loans and none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party, (E) the Incremental Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis (or on a basis that is less than pro rata) in any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, but may not provide for mandatory prepayment requirements that are more favorable than those applicable to Term Loans, and (F) to the extent the terms of the Incremental Term Loans are inconsistent with the terms of the Term Loans (except as set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above), (i) such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) to the extent such terms are more favorable to the Incremental Lenders than the terms hereof to the Term Lenders, the Borrower may elect to conform to such terms for the benefit of all of the Term Lenders pursuant to an amendment hereto subject solely to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, all terms of any Revolving Loan Increase (including the Applicable Margin thereon) shall be identical to the terms of the Revolving Facility.

Section 2.06    Method of Borrowing. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date, each applicable Lender shall make available its Pro Rata Share of each such Advance, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article 14. The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

Section 2.07    Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type and Class of Advance and, in the case of each Advance of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Borrowing/Election Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (a) on or before the Borrowing Date of each Advance of Floating Rate Loans and (b) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Advance of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans specifying: (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) of such Advance; (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance; (iii) the Type and Class of Advance selected; and (iv) in the case of each Advance of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, however, that with respect to the borrowing on the Closing Date, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(c) and shall be accompanied by the documentation specified in such Section, if applicable; provided further, that the initial Interest Period of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall be determined in accordance with the definition of “Interest Period”. The Borrower shall select Interest Periods so that, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, it will not be necessary to prepay all or any portion of any Advance of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period in order to make mandatory prepayments as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Each Advance of Floating Rate Loans and all Obligations other than Loans shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance, in the case of Advances of Floating Rate Loans, and the date such Obligation is due and owing in the case of such other Obligations, to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the Alternate Base Rate, changing when and as such Alternate Base Rate changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of the Loans maintained as Floating Rate

62

Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Advance of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Advance, changing when and as the Applicable Margin changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of the Loans maintained as Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Applicable Margin.

Section 2.08    Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans or a Reimbursement Obligation) shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); provided, however, that any Advance of Floating Rate Loans may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

Section 2.09    Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Conversion and Continuation of Advances.

(a)Right to Convert. The Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03, this Section 2.09 and Section 5.02 to convert all or any part of a Loan of any Type into any other Type or Types of Loans; provided that any conversion of any Advance of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(b)Automatic Conversion and Continuation. Floating Rate Loans shall continue as Floating Rate Loans unless and until such Floating Rate Loans are repaid or converted into Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans. Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans shall continue as Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans shall be automatically converted into Floating Rate Loans unless the Borrower shall have repaid such Loans or given the Administrative Agent a Borrowing/Election Notice in accordance with Section 2.09(d) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans continue as a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan.

(c)No Conversion Post-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.09(b), no Loan may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d)Borrowing/Election Notice. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Borrowing/Election Notice of each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan or continuation of a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying: (i) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (ii) the amount and Type of the Loan to be converted or continued; and (iii) the amount of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan(s) into which such Loan is to be converted or continued, and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.10    Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default under (a) Section 8.01(a), if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such

63

Loan as provided in Section 2.03 and (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.0% per annum plus the rate applicable to Advances of Floating Rate Loans and (b) Section 8.01(e) or 8.01(f), the interest rate described in clause (a) above shall be applicable to the Loans without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender.

Section 2.11    Method of Payment. All payments of principal, interest, fees, commissions and L/C Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article 14, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date when due and shall be made ratably among the Lenders (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with the terms hereof). Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article 14 or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of principal, interest, fees, commissions and L/C Obligations as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.11 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to each Issuing Bank, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Article 3.

Section 2.12    Evidence of Debt; Noteless Agreement.

(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record

(i)the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, with respect thereto,

(ii)the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder,

(iii)the original stated amount of each Letter of Credit and the amount of the L/C Obligations outstanding at any time and

(iv)the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses(a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded unless the Borrower objects to information contained therein within thirty (30) days of the Borrower’s receipt of such information; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note for such

64

Loans payable to the order of such Lender and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 13.03) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form, payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

Section 2.13    Telephonic Notices. The Borrower authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to such telephonic notice shall govern absent manifest error. In case of disagreement concerning such notices, if the Administrative Agent has recorded telephonic Borrowing/Election Notices, such recordings will be made available to the Borrower upon the Borrower’s request therefor.

Section 2.14    Promise to Pay; Interest and Commitment Fees; Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis; Loan and Control Accounts.

(a)Promise to Pay. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan and all other Obligations incurred by it, and to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)Interest Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on any date on which such Floating Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears

(i)on each Payment Date, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of such Obligation,

(ii)upon repayment thereof in full or in part, and

(iii)if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c)Commitment Fees and Administrative Agent’s and Arrangers’ Fees.

(i)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and after the Closing Date until the Revolving Loan Termination Date, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) accruing at the per annum rate of the then Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage, on the daily average unused Revolving Loan Commitments (with the aggregate amount of

65

any outstanding Swing Line Loans being deemed to be unused Revolving Loan Commitments for this purpose for all Revolving Lenders other than the Swing Line Bank). All such Commitment Fees payable under this clause (c)(i) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date occurring after the Closing Date (with the first such payment being calculated for the period from the Closing Date and ending on the last Business Day of the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending after the Closing Date), and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

(ii)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the sole account of the Administrative Agent, the fees payable at the times and in the amounts separately agreed.

(d)Interest and Fee Basis; Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable L/C Fee Percentage. Fees payable with respect to Letters of Credit and Commitment Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) on the basis of a year of 360 days. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Interest shall be payable for the day an Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any payment of any other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment.

Section 2.15    Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each applicable Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment reduction notice, Increasing Lender Supplement, Augmenting Lender Supplement, Borrowing/Election Notice, repayment notice and issuance of Letter of Credit notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each applicable Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each applicable Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

Section 2.16    Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans or Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.06, each Lender may, by written or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments and/or payments of L/C Obligations are to be made.

Section 2.17    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the

66

amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the NYFRB Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

Section 2.18    Maturity Date. This Agreement shall be effective until the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied in cash (to the full extent that such Obligations are payable in cash), all financing arrangements among the Borrower and the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been terminated and all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, been canceled or terminated, all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive.

Section 2.19    Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event a Lender (an “Affected Lender”) shall have: (i) become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) requested compensation from the Borrower under Sections 4.01, 4.02 or 4.05 to recover Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or other additional costs incurred by such Lender which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders, (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 4.03 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans to the Borrower for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders or (iv) has invoked Section 10.02, then, in any such case, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by the Borrower and a copy to the Borrower in the case of a demand by the Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 13.03 which the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have engaged for such purpose (“Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to participate in additional Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans hereunder) in accordance with Section 13.03. The Administrative Agent is authorized to execute any Assignment and Assumption as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender failing to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand. Further, with respect to such assignment the Affected Lender shall have concurrently received, in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment, amounts payable under Sections 2.04(a)(ii), 4.01, 4.02 and 4.05 with respect to such Affected Lender and compensation payable under Section 2.14(c) in the event of any replacement of any Affected Lender under clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 2.19; provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.04, 4.05 and 10.07, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Article 11 with respect to losses, obligations, liabilities, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements for matters which occurred prior to the date the Affected Lender is replaced. Upon the replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19, the provisions of Section 9.02 shall continue to apply with respect to Loans which are then outstanding with respect to which the Affected Lender has become a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.20    Extension Offers.

67

(a)The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) to all of the Term Lenders or all of the Revolving Lenders of one or more Classes on a pro rata basis (each Class subject to such an Extension Offer, an “Extension Request Class”) to make one or more Extension Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Extension Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Extension Permitted Amendments shall become effective only (i) with respect to the Term Loans of the Term Lenders of the Extension Request Class that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Term Lenders, the “Extending Term Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Term Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Term Loans of such Extension Request Class as to which such Term Lender’s acceptance has been made and (ii) with respect to the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders of the Extension Request Class that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Revolving Lenders, the “Extending Revolving Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Revolving Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Loans of such Extension Request Class as to which such Revolving Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b)An Extension Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates, reaffirmation agreements and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender and Revolving Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement.

Section 2.21    Repayment of Term Loans.

(a)The Borrower shall repay the Term Loans on the first Business Day following the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning with the first Business Day following the end of the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending after the Closing Date and ending with the last such day to occur prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans funded on (x) the Closing Date and (y) the 2021 Incremental Effective Date.

(b)[Reserved.]

(c)The Borrower shall repay Incremental Term Loans (other than the 2021 Incremental Term Loans) in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the Incremental Term Loan Amendment (as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Amendment or pursuant to an Increasing Lender Supplement). The Borrower shall repay Extended Term Loans in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefore in the Extension Agreement establishing such Extended Term Loans.

(d)Any prepayment of a Term Loan of any Class pursuant to Section 2.04 (other than Section 2.04(c)) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section 2.21 in direct order against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans under this Section 2.21; provided that any prepayment of a Term Loan of any Class made pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Advances of such Class to be made pursuant to

68

this Section 2.21 in the manner specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment (or, if no such specification is made therein, in direct order as provided above).

Section 2.22    Refinancing Facilities.

(a)At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right to refinance, renew and/or replace

(i)[reserved],

(ii)all of the Term Loans then outstanding and/or

(iii)all or any portion of any Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect or any outstanding Revolving Loans (including any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans) (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, together, “Refinanced Debt”) with (x) (A) in the case of clause (i) or clause (ii) above, one or more new term loan facilities established hereunder by adding one or more new term loan commitments (each such commitment, a “Refinancing Term Loan Commitment”, and the loans made thereunder, “Refinancing Term Loans”) and (B) in the case of clause (iii) above, one or more new revolving credit facilities established hereunder by adding one or more new revolving credit commitments (each such commitment, a “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitment”, and the loans made thereunder, “Refinancing Revolving Loans”) or (y) other Indebtedness in the form of one or more series of notes or loans (such other notes or loans, “Other Permitted Refinancing Debt”, and clauses (x) and (y) above, together, “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”), pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, provided that:

69

lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than, those applicable to the Refinanced Debt being refinanced thereby (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date at the time such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred);

(xi)the aggregate principal amount of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Refinanced Debt being refinanced thereby, plus any interest, premiums, fees and expenses, or to the extent otherwise permitted under this Agreement; and

(xii)no Refinancing Term Loans shall share more favorably than ratably in any mandatory prepayments hereunder.

(b)Any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may be provided by any Lender or any Augmenting Lender. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.22 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) not less than $10,000,000 (or in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof) in the case of Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and (ii) not less than $5,000,000 (or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), in each case, or such other amount of the total outstanding amount of the Refinanced Debt.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Revolving Loans, Refinancing Term Loan Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations in letters of credit issued under any Refinanced Debt shall be reallocated to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness refinancing such Refinanced Debt accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment.

(d)This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.11, 9.03 or 12.02 to the contrary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit under this Agreement and for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

Section 3.02    [Reserved].

Section 3.03    Types and Amounts. No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to and no Issuing Bank shall (except in the case of clause (a)(iii) below, in which case the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion):

(a)issue any Letter of Credit if on the date of issuance, before or after giving effect to the Letter of Credit requested hereunder, (i) the Revolving Credit Obligations at such time would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (iii) the aggregate outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Fronting Sublimit (as set forth on Schedule 2.01); or

Section 3.04    Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, the obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(a)the Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuing Bank (with copies delivered simultaneously to the Administrative Agent) at such times and in such manner as such Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe, a request for issuance of such Letter of Credit in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, duly executed applications for such Letter of Credit, and such other documents, instructions and agreements as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof (all such applications, documents, instructions, and agreements being referred to herein as the “L/C Documents”), and the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank as to form and content; and

(b)as of the date of issuance no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to such Issuing Bank and no

71

request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of that Letter of Credit.

Section 3.05    Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 3 and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof have been satisfied, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices and, in this connection, such Issuing Bank may assume that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 hereof have been satisfied unless it shall have received notice to the contrary from the Administrative Agent or a Lender or has knowledge that the applicable conditions have not been met.

(b)Immediately upon such issuance, the applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written or telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of such Issuing Bank.

(c)The applicable Issuing Bank shall not extend (including as a result of any evergreen provision) or amend any Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 3.05 are met as though a new Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

Section 3.06    Letter of Credit Participation. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Revolving Lender with a Pro Rata Share shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from each Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to each Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof, and the liability of the applicable Issuing Bank thereunder (collectively, an “L/C Interest”) in an amount equal to the amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied by such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share. If the Borrower fails at any time to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 3.07, promptly following receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, each Revolving Lender shall make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any unreimbursed payment of an L/C Draft or other draw under a Letter of Credit. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank under this Section 3.06 shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 3.06, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Revolving Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Revolving Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve such Revolving Lender of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for such amount in accordance with this Section 3.06.

Section 3.07    Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower agrees unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders, the amount of each advance drawn under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit or an L/C Draft related thereto (such obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent for an advance made under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft being hereinafter referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation” with respect to such Letter of Credit or L/C Draft), each such reimbursement to be made by the Borrower no later than the Business Day on which the applicable Issuing Bank makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, in the case of any other draw on a Letter

72

of Credit, the date specified in the demand of the applicable Issuing Bank. If the Borrower at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this Section 3.07, such failure shall not constitute a Default if the Revolving Credit Obligations do not, and after making Revolving Loans in repayment of such Reimbursement Obligation would not, exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments and the conditions set forth in Sections 5.02(a) and 5.02(b) have been satisfied, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow Revolving Loans from the Revolving Lenders, as of the date of the advance giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation, equal in amount to the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. Such Revolving Loans shall be made as of the date of the payment giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation, automatically, without notice and without any requirement to satisfy the conditions precedent otherwise applicable to an Advance of Revolving Loans. Such Revolving Loans shall constitute an Advance of Floating Rate Loans, the proceeds of which Advance shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation. If, for any reason, the Borrower fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation on the day such Reimbursement Obligation arises and, for any reason, the Revolving Lenders are unable to make or have no obligation to make Revolving Loans, then such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from and after such day, until paid in full, at the interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Loan.

Section 3.08    Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay:

(a)quarterly, in arrears commencing on the last day of the first fiscal quarter ended after the Closing Date, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, except as set forth in Section 9.02(a), a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable L/C Fee Percentage on the average daily outstanding face amount available for drawing under all standby Letters of Credit;

(b)quarterly, in arrears, to the applicable Issuing Bank, a letter of credit fronting fee which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily outstanding face amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; and

(c)to the applicable Issuing Bank, all customary fees and other issuance, amendment, cancellation, document examination, negotiation, transfer and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, cancellation, presentation of L/C Drafts, negotiation, transfer and the like customarily charged by such Issuing Bank with respect to standby Letters of Credit, payable at the time of invoice of such amounts.

Section 3.09    Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Revolving Lender copies of any Letter of Credit and any application for or reimbursement agreement with respect to a Letter of Credit to which such Issuing Bank is party.

Section 3.10    Indemnification; Exoneration.

(a)In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article 3, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Lender from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of

(i)the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of such Issuing Bank, as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment, or

73

(ii)the failure of such Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

(b)As among the Borrower, the Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Borrower at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Revolving Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith, as a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment):

(i)for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(ii)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;

(iii)for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit;

(iv)for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or other similar form of teletransmission or otherwise;

(v)for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms;

(vi)for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof;

(vii)for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and

(viii)for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders, including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 3.10.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment, put such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

74

(d)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.11    Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any application for a Letter of Credit, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Borrower shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, cash, or other collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Lenders, having a value, as determined by such Revolving Lenders, equal to 105.0% of the aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations. In addition, but without duplication of amounts deposited pursuant to the foregoing sentence, if the Revolving Credit Availability is at any time less than the amount of contingent L/C Obligations outstanding at any time, the Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105.0% of the amount by which such L/C Obligations exceed such Revolving Credit Availability. Any such collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a separate account appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks as collateral security for the Borrower’s obligations in respect of this Agreement and each of the Letters of Credit and L/C Drafts. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks for drawings or payments under or pursuant to Letters of Credit or L/C Drafts, or if no such reimbursement is required, to payment of such of the other Obligations as the Administrative Agent shall determine. If no Default shall be continuing, amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section 3.11 which are not to be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks for amounts actually paid or to be paid by the Issuing Banks in respect of a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft, shall be returned promptly to the Borrower (after deduction of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cash collateral account) as the Letters of Credit expire.

Article 4
Yield Protection; Taxes

Section 4.01    Yield Protection. If any Change in Law:

(a)subjects any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (iii) Connection Income Taxes), or

(b)imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans), or

(c)imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank of making, funding or maintaining its Loans or L/C Interests or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank in connection with its Loans or L/C Interests, or requires any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Loans or L/C Interests held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the result of any of

75

the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, applicable Lending Installation, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of making or maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests or Revolving Loan Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender, applicable Lending Installation, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent in connection with such Loans, L/C Interests or Revolving Loan Commitment, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Person, the Borrower shall pay such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01, if any Lender fails to notify the Borrower of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.01 within 180 days after such Lender obtains knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrower for any amount arising prior to the date which is 180 days before the date on which such Lender notifies the Borrower of such event or circumstance.

Notwithstanding the above, a Lender will not be entitled to demand compensation under this Section 4.01 at any time if it is not the general practice and policy of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances under agreements containing provisions permitting such compensation to be claimed at such time.

Section 4.02    Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Notwithstanding the above, a Lender will not be entitled to demand compensation under this Section 4.02 at any time if it is not the general practice and policy of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances under agreements containing provisions permitting such compensation to be claimed at such time.

Section 4.03    Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 4.03, if:

(a)Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 4.03, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Advance:

(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Advance,that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar BaseAdjusted Term SOFRRate or the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO ScreenTerm SOFR ReferenceRate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurredor (B)at suchany time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or

76

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A)with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Borrowing/Election Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(g), (1)any Borrowing/Election Notice that requests the conversion of any Revolving Advance to, or continuation of any Revolving Loan as, a Term Benchmark Advance as, a Eurodollar Advance shall be ineffective and (B) if and any Borrowing/Election Notice that requests a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Revolving Advance shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing/Election Notice, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Advance, suchso long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 4.03(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an Alternate Base Rate Advance if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 4.03(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Borrowing/Election Notice that requests an RFR Advance shall be made as Floatinginstead be deemed to be a Borrowing/Election Notice, as applicable, for an Alternate BaseRate Advance; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Advances, then theall other TypeTypes of Advances shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 4.03(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Borrowing/Election Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(g), (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Advance so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 4.03(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an Alternate Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 4.03(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 4.03) , if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (32) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or

77

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 of each affected Class.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or 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; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

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

(e)(d)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.03, 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 4.03.

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

78

(g)(f)Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Advance or RFR Advance of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for a Term Benchmark Advance into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Floating(A) an RFR Advance so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an Alternate Base Rate Loans Advance if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 4.03, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Advance so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an Alternate Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

Section 4.04    Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, or a Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan is assigned other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom (excluding loss of margin), including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loan.

Section 4.05    Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.05, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)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 for Indemnified Taxes been made.

79

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties 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.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (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 4.05) 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 Borrower 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.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (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 13.02(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the 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 (e).

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.05, 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.

(g)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.05(g)(ii)(A), 4.05(g)(ii)(B) and 4.05(g)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such

80

Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 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 W-8BEN-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 K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 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 W-8BEN-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 W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-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 K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

81

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the 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 the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with its 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 Closing Date.

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

(h)FATCA Compliance. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date of its execution of this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of IRS form W-9.

(i)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 4.05 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.05), 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 (i) (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 (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) 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

82

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.

Section 4.06    Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.05 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar RateTerm Benchmark Loans under Section 4.03, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) funded its Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not, and without regard to loss of margin.Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.04 and 4.05 shall survive payment of the Obligations, termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement.

Taxes shown in such returns or reports to be due and payable have been paid except those items which are being contested in good faith and have been reserved for in the Borrower’s consolidated financial statements to the extent, if any, required by GAAP. The Borrower has no knowledge of any proposed Tax assessment against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that will have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.07    Litigation; Loss Contingencies and Violations. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations or, to the knowledge of any member of the Borrower’s Senior Management Team, threatened in writing against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any property of any of them (including, without limitation, any Intellectual Property) that (a) challenges the validity or the enforceability of any material provision of the Loan Documents or (b) has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (other than as set forth on Schedule 6.07).

Section 6.09    ERISA.

(a)No Benefit Plan has failed to satisfy the “minimum funding standard” (as defined in Sections 302(a)(2) of ERISA and 412(a) of the Code) whether or not waived. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has incurred any material liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums. As of the last day of the most recent prior plan year, the market value of assets under each Benefit Plan, other than any Multiemployer Plan, was not less than the present value of benefit liabilities thereunder (determined in accordance with the actuarial valuation assumptions described therein) by an amount which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has (a) failed to make a required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan of a material amount or (b) incurred a material complete or partial withdrawal under Section 4203 or Section 4205 of ERISA from a Multiemployer Plan. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has failed to make an installment or any other payment of a material amount required under Section 412 of the Code on or before the due date for such installment or other payment.

(b)Each Plan, Foreign Employee Benefit Plan and Non-ERISA Commitment complies in all material respects in form, and has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code. There have been no and there is no prohibited transaction described in

86

Sections 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Code with respect to any Plan for which a statutory or administrative exemption does not exist which could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to material liability. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has taken or failed to take any action which would constitute or result in a Termination Event, which action or inaction could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to material liability. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group is subject to any material liability under, or has any potential material liability under, Section 4063, 4064, 4069, 4204 or 4212(c) of ERISA. The present value of the aggregate liabilities to provide all of the accrued benefits under any Foreign Pension Plan do not exceed the current fair market value of the assets held in trust or other funding vehicle for such plan by an amount which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any Foreign Employee Benefit Plan other than a Foreign Pension Plan, reasonable reserves have been established in accordance with prudent business practice or where required by ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such plan is maintained.

(c)For purposes of this Section 6.09, “material” means any amount, noncompliance or other basis for liability which could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to liability, individually or in the aggregate with each other basis for liability under this Section 6.09, in excess of $50,000,000.

Section 6.10    Accuracy of Information. The information, exhibits and reports furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents, the representations and warranties of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries contained in the Loan Documents, and all certificates and documents delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the terms thereof, taken as a whole, do not contain as of the date furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that such projected information may vary from actual results and that such variances may be material).

Section 6.11    Securities Activities. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. The value of all Margin Stock held by the Borrower constitutes less than 25.0% of the value, as determined in accordance with the Regulation U, of all assets of the Borrower.

Section 6.12    [Reserved].

Section 6.13    Compliance with Laws; No Default.

(a)The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to promote compliance in all material respects by the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, their respective directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects.

(c)Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any transaction contemplated under any such agreement, will affect any right, title or interest of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in and to any of such assets in a manner that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.15    Statutory Indebtedness Restrictions.

(b)the Commitments, Loans and other Revolving Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.03); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(c)if any Swing Line Obligations or L/C Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of the Swing Line Obligations and L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Facility but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Obligations plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Obligations and L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the

112

Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Obligations and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of each Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.11 for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

(iii)if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.08 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;

(iv)if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 3.08 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Facility; and

(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Commitment Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.08 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Obligations will be 100.0% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.02(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 9.02(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent of any Lender shall occur following the Closing Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swing Line Bank or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swing Line Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swing Line Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swing Line Bank and the Issuing Banks each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Obligations and L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may

113

be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Facility.

Section 9.03    Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.03, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Unmatured Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Unmatured Default at the time.

(b)Except as provided in Sections 2.05(b), 2.20, 4.03(b), 4.03(c), 4.03(d) and 9.03(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that

(i)any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any technical error, ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; and

(ii)no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce or forgive any interest or fees (including any prepayment fees) payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Sections 2.04(c), 2.14 or 2.21, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (D) change Sections 12.02 or 12.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.03(b) or the percentage set forth in the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Required Term Lenders” or “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Revolving Lender or Lender of such Class, as the case may be); provided that, with

114

the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section 9.03(b) and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the existing Classes of Loans or Lenders, (F) release substantially all of the value of the Guarantees provided by the Guarantors (including, in each case, by limiting liability in respect thereof) created under the Collateral Agreement without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 10.14 or the Collateral Agreement) (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Subsidiary upon the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations guaranteed under the Collateral Agreement shall not be deemed to be a release or limitation of any Guarantee), (G) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 10.14 or the applicable Collateral Document (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations secured by the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents) and (H) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each affected Class; provided, further that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; (2) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Issuing Bank in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any L/C Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (3) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by a Swing Line Bank in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such Swing Line Bank under this Agreement; (4) no amendment, waiver or consent shall be made to modify Section 7.04 or any definition related thereto (as any such definition is used for purposes of Section 7.04) without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders; provided, however, that the waivers described in this clause (4) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Revolving Lenders; (5) no amendment, waiver or consent shall be made to accelerate the Revolving Facility upon a breach of Section 7.04 or waive any Default resulting from a failure to perform or observe the requirements of Section 7.04 without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders; provided, however, that the waivers described in this clause (5) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Revolving Lenders and (6) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class), may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of, in the case of any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (c) of the first proviso of this paragraph, any Lender that receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes

115

effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Credit Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement or in any other Collateral Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.” Additionally, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender: enter into any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) to the extent the Loan Parties have incurred Indebtedness secured by Liens that are required to be subject to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.03 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

(e)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver, or amendment, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.19; provided that the applicable Replacement Lender shall have consented to the proposed amendment, waiver or consent.

Section 9.04    Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.03, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied in cash, all financing arrangements among the Borrower and the Lenders shall have been terminated and all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, been canceled or terminated.

Article 10
General Provisions

Section 10.01    Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans herein contemplated.

116

Section 10.02    Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

Section 10.03    Performance of Obligations. The Borrower agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, make any payment or perform any act required of the Borrower under any Loan Document to the extent the Administrative Agent determines that such action shall be necessary or advisable in order to protect or preserve the rights of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to give the Borrower notice of any action taken under this Section 10.03 prior to the taking of such action or promptly thereafter provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all funds advanced by the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.03, together with interest thereon at the rate from time to time applicable to Floating Rate Loans from the date of such advance until the outstanding principal balance thereof is paid in full. If the Borrower fails to make payment in respect of any such advance under this Section 10.03 within one (1) Business Day after the date the Borrower receives written demand therefor from the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each Lender agrees that it shall thereupon make available to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such advance. If such funds are not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is received. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such unreimbursed advance under this Section 10.03 shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such advance on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. All outstanding principal of, and interest on, advances made under this Section 10.03 shall constitute Obligations subject to the terms of this Agreement until paid in full by the Borrower.

Section 10.04    Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

Section 10.05    Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof other than the terms of any prior agreements or understandings which are expressly stated to survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Section 10.06    Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other Lender (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

117

Section 10.07    Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for any reasonable and documented costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (i) one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates and (ii) any local counsel to the Lenders retained by the Arrangers or the Administrative Agent, limited to one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as IntraLinks) review, amendment modification and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Unmatured Default, administration of the Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and the Lenders for any documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates and one primary counsel for the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of the Loan Documents.

(b)Indemnity. The Borrower further agrees to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, each Issuing Bank, Agent and each and all of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of such Administrative Agent’s, Co-Syndication Agent’s, Co-Documentation Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s, Arranger’s, Lender’s, or Affiliate’s respective officers, directors, trustees, investment advisors, employees, attorneys, partners, members, advisors, agents and other representatives and controlling persons (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 5) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), whether or not arising in connection with any third party claim, imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of:

(i)this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making of the Loans, and the issuance of and participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, the management of such Loans or Letters of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; or

(ii)any liabilities, obligations, responsibilities, losses, damages, personal injury, death, punitive damages, economic damages, consequential damages, treble damages, intentional, willful or wanton injury, damage or threat to the environment, natural resources or public health or welfare, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney, expert and consulting fees and costs of investigation, feasibility or remedial action studies), fines, penalties and monetary sanctions and interest, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, past, present or future, relating to any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirement of Laws and arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in interest or the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of any respective property of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in interest, the presence of asbestos-containing materials at any respective property of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors

118

in interest or the Release or threatened Release of any Contaminant (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”);

provided, however, the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent that such liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, claim, cost or expenses (x) has been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee with respect to the Loan Documents or (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee with respect to the Loan Documents or (y) has resulted from a dispute solely among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and is not brought against such Indemnitee in its capacity as an agent or arranger or similar role with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. This Section 10.07(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

Each Indemnitee, with respect to any action against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section, shall give written notice of the commencement of such action to the Borrower within a reasonable time after such Indemnitee is made a party to such action. Upon receipt of any such notice by the Borrower, unless such Indemnitee shall be advised by its counsel that there are or may be legal defenses available to such Indemnitee that are different from, in addition to, or in conflict with, the defenses available to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower may participate with the Indemnitee in the defense of such Indemnified Matter, including the employment of counsel consented to by such Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, nothing provided herein shall entitle (a) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to assume the defense of such Indemnified Matter or (b) any Indemnitee to effect any settlement in respect of any indemnified matter without the Borrower’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but if settled with the Borrower’s consent, or if there is a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or investigation, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceedings relating to the foregoing (the “Proceedings”) in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (b) such settlement does not include any statement as to, or any admission of, fault or wrongdoing, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.

(c)Waiver of Certain Claims; Settlement of Claims. The Borrower further agrees to assert no claim against any of the Indemnitees on any theory of liability seeking consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages. No settlement of any claim asserted against or likely to be asserted against an Indemnitee shall be entered into by the Borrower or any if its Subsidiaries with respect to any claim, litigation, arbitration or other proceeding relating to or arising out of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement releases such Indemnitee from any and all liability with respect thereto.

(d)Survival of Agreements. The obligations and agreements of the Borrower under this Section 10.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

119

Section 10.08    Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.

Section 10.09    [Reserved.]

Section 10.10    Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

Section 10.11    Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower, on one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender.

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

Section 10.16    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 10.17    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree, 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), that 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) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such

122

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.

Article 11
The Administrative Agent

Section 11.01    Appointment and Authorization.

(a)Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b)As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that

(i)the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or

(ii)is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

123

(c)In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii)nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;

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

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

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, payments made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

124

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Credit Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Credit Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

(f)The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Credit Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

Section 11.02    Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

Section 11.03    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.

(a)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of unmatured default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the

125

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Documents or the occurrence of any Unmatured Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the All-in Yield.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance withSection 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) 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 notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Section 11.04    Posting of Communications.

(a)The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b)Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the

126

Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c)THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY CO-SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

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

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

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

Section 11.05    Successor Agent.

(a)Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor administrative agent. If no successor administrative agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.

127

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor.

(b)Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 11.06, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Credit Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Collateral Document and Loan Document and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, provided, further that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.07, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its subagents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.

Section 11.06    Credit Decision.

(a)Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

128

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

Section 11.07    Administrative Agent, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents. None of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than if such Person is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to or fiduciary relationship with any Lender. In addition to the agreement set forth in Section 11.07, each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 11.08    Collateral Matters.

(a)Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Credit Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Credit Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Credit Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b)In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Banking Services the obligations under which constitute secured Banking Services Obligations and no Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Hedging Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Credit Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Credit Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Banking Services or a Hedging Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Credit Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(c)The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 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 7.03(b)(ii). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Credit Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 11.09    Credit Bidding. The Credit Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of

129

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, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, 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 Credit Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders 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 shall 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) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Credit Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized 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 vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Credit Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Credit Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) 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 Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Credit Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Credit Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Credit Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Credit Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Credit Party (and/or any designee of the Credit Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Article 12
Setoff; Ratable Payments

Section 12.01    Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any indebtedness from any Lender to the Borrower (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or

130

not collected or available) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

Section 12.02    Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its respective Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 4.01, 4.02 or 4.04 or as otherwise provided herein) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of the applicable Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligation or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

Section 12.03    Application of Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.02, the Administrative Agent shall, unless otherwise specified at the direction of the Required Lenders which direction shall be consistent with the last sentence of this Section 12.03, apply all payments and prepayments in respect of any Obligations received after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default in the following order:

(a)first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;

(b)second, to pay interest on and then principal of any advance made under Section 10.03 for which the Administrative Agent has not then been paid by the Borrower or reimbursed by the Lenders;

(c)third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expenses, reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

Article 13
Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations

Section 13.01    Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (a) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (b) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Article 13. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 13.02) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 13.03; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any note to direct payments relating to such Loan or note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

Section 13.02    Participations.

(a)Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than Disqualified Lenders) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion

134

of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 9.03 that adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.03. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.01 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.02 as though it were a Lender.

(b)Limitation of Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01, 4.02 or 4.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent (i) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, or (ii) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.05 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 4.05 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.05(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest 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.

Section 13.03    Assignments.

(a)Consents.

(i)Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than any Disqualified Lender, any Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent or Subsidiaries, any natural person and, except as provided in Section 13.03(g) below, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) (the “Purchasers”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A)the Borrower; provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required (x) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved

135

Fund, (y) for an assignment by any Lender as of the (I) Closing Date in connection with the primary syndication of the Term Facilities or the Revolving Facility to Lenders selected by such Lenders in consultation with the Borrower and (II) 2021 Incremental Effective Date in connection with the primary syndication of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans to Lenders selected by such Lenders in consultation with the Borrower and (z) if a Default under Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(e), or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment; provided, further that the 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; and

(B)the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)with respect to Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swing Line Bank and the Issuing Banks.

The Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders (or providing the list to the Lenders). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not (1) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (2) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. The Administrative Agent shall post or otherwise make available to Lenders a list of all Disqualified Lenders.

(b)Conditions. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000 and (y) in the case of Revolving Loan Commitment, $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(ii)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under each facility under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Commitments or Loans;

(iii)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(iv)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public

136

information about the Borrower and its affiliates, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(c)Effect; Closing Date. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 and 10.07). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.03 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.02.

(d)The Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Loan Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Drafts owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)Recording. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section 13.03 and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section 13.03, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.02(d), 2.17, 3.06, 3.07 or 11.04, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(f)Pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)Dutch Auctions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Unmatured Default or Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Term Lender shall have the right at any

137

time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it to the Borrower on a non-pro rata basis, subject to the following limitations:

(i)Such sale, assignment or transfer shall be pursuant to one or more modified Dutch auctions conducted by the Borrower (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans; provided that (x) notice of and the option to participate in the Auction shall be provided to all Term Lenders and (y) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish, which are consistent with this Section 13.03(g) and the Auction Procedures and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent;

(iii)Immediately following a repurchase by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 13.03(g), the Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed automatically canceled and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower or such Subsidiary) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent shall reflect such repurchase in the Register.

Section 13.04    Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Arranger agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.04, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (iii) is
