For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

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

In addition, all accounting terms shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations shall be made and all financial statements shall be prepared without giving effect to any election under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 825, Financial Instruments, or any successor thereto (including pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification), to value any Debt at “fair value”, as defined therein.

1.4 Certain Matters of Construction. The rules of construction and interpretation included in this Section apply to all Loan Documents. The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to the applicable document as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all genders. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later date, “from” means

“from and including,” and “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding.” The terms “including” and “include” mean “including, without limitation”, “or” includes “and/or”, and the rule of ejusdem generis does not apply. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and will not affect the interpretation of a Loan Document. Reference to any (a) law includes all related regulations, interpretations, supplements, amendments and successor provisions; (b) document, instrument or agreement includes any amendment, extension, supplement, waiver, replacement and other modification thereto (to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents and except as otherwise specified herein); (c) section means, unless the context otherwise requires, a section of the applicable document; (d) exhibit or schedule means, unless the context otherwise requires, an exhibit or schedule to the applicable document, which is thereby incorporated by reference; (e) Person includes its permitted successors and assigns; (f) time of day means the time at Administrative Agent’s notice address under Section 14.3.1; or (g) unless otherwise set forth herein, discretion or satisfaction of Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Required Lenders means the sole and absolute discretion of such Person exercised from time to time. Any references to Loans, Obligations and other amounts herein shall be denominated in Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise, and any determination (including calculation of financial covenants) made from time to time by Obligors under the Loan Documents shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at such time. Obligors have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by any Indemnitee under a Loan Document. No provision of a Loan Document shall be construed against a party by reason of it having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Reference to an Obligor’s “knowledge” or similar concept means actual knowledge of a Senior Officer, or knowledge that a Senior Officer would have obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and diligent performance of his or her duties, including reasonably specific inquiries of employees or agents and a good faith attempt to ascertain the matter.

Any Division of Person shall constitute a separate Person hereunder.

Section 2. CREDIT FACILITIES.

2.1 Loan Commitments

2.1.1 Commitments. Subject to the conditions set forth herein (including Section 6), each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans to Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment (it being understood that the aggregate principal amount of Loans funded on the Closing Date shall be $325,000,000). The Commitments shall be permanently reduced in full by the making of the Loans on the Closing Date and amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

2.1.2 Notes. Loans and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. At the request of a Lender, Borrower shall deliver promissory note(s) to such Lender, evidencing its Loans.

2.1.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower solely (a) to satisfy existing Debt; (b) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility; (c) to fund the MER Acquisition; (d) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (e) for lawful corporate purposes, including working capital. Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Loan proceeds, nor use, lend, contribute or otherwise make available any Loan proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to purchase or carry, or to reduce or refinance any debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose as governed by any regulation (including Regulation U) of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors; (ii) to fund any activities of or business with any Person, or in any country or territory, that is the target of any Sanction; or (iii) in any manner that would result in a violation of a Sanction, Anti-Corruption Law or other Applicable Law by any Person (including any Lender or other individual or entity participating in any transaction).

2.2 OID. Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it will receive proceeds of the Loans on the Closing Date net of two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Lenders on such date. Such discounts will be treated as original issue discounts on the Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will reduce the net issue price of such Loans.

2.3 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lender’s Books and Records; Loans.

2.3.1 Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain in its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by such Lender and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. The failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.

2.3.2 Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. The entries in the Register shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Obligors’ Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name any Loan shall be registered as the owner and the Lender thereof for all purposes hereof. The Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.3.2, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

2.4 Fees.

2.4.1 Borrower shall pay all fees set forth in any fee letter executed by it in connection with this Agreement.

2.4.2 All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender, as applicable. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (unless expressly set forth in any such fee letter).

2.4.3 Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computation of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error.

2.5 Interest.

2.5.1 Interest. Each Loan shall at all times bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.5.3) (the “Interest”).

2.5.2 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest payable hereunder shall be computed for the actual amount of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) (i) for Term SOFR Loans and Base Rate Loans (other than Loans in respect of which the Base Rate is calculated based on the Prime Rate), on the basis of a 360-day year or (ii) for all other Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable; provided that in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

2.5.3 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 11, at the election of the Required Lenders (with notice to the Borrower), the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall automatically, commencing on the date of such Event of Default (or such later date as the Required Lenders may agree to in their sole discretion), bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, any other Debtor Relief Laws or other applicable bankruptcy laws, whether or not allowed in such a proceeding) payable in Cash on demand at the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.5.3 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender.

2.5.4 Application of Term SOFR to Outstanding Loans.

(a) Borrower may elect to convert any portion of Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any Term SOFR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a Term SOFR Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be converted or continued as a Term SOFR Loan.

(b) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving such notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation is irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified). If, at expiration of an Interest Period for a Term SOFR Loan, Borrower has failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Loan shall convert to a Base Rate Loan. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to, administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternate, replacement or successor to such rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), or any component thereof, or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. Administrative Agent may select information source(s) in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), or any component thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms hereof, and shall have no liability to any Lender, Obligor or other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise, and whether at law or in equity) for any error or other act or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by such information source(s).

2.5.5 Interest Periods. Borrower shall select an Interest Period to apply to each Term SOFR Loan.

2.6 Repayment of Loans.

2.6.1 Repayment on the Termination Date. If any principal or interest amount payable under the Loans remains outstanding on the Termination Date, such amount will be paid in full (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) or otherwise satisfied by Borrower to the Lenders in immediately available funds on the Termination Date.

2.6.2 Scheduled Amortization Payments. On the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Borrower will repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in a principal amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans funded on the Closing Date (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.7 or 2.8) together with any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 2.8 until repaid in full, then in the order set forth in Section 2.9.

2.7 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time, prepay the Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part (together with any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 2.5, Section 2.10(g) and Section 2.10(h)) in an aggregate minimum amount equal to if being paid in whole, the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) and if being paid in part, $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount (or such lower amounts as the Administrative Agent may agree). All such prepayments shall be made upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, in each case given to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date required. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein, provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon one or more conditions precedent thereto, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if any such condition is not satisfied. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.9.

2.8 Mandatory Prepayments.

2.8.1 Debt for Borrowed Money. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary issues any Debt for borrowed money not permitted hereunder then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such issuance at the time of such issuance.

2.8.2 Disposition or Casualty Event. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives any Net Proceeds from a Disposition or Casualty Event (other than Dispositions permitted under Section 10.2.5(a), (b), (g), (h), (i) or (j)), then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds within five (5) Business Days after such receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided that, to the extent the Net Proceeds in respect of such Disposition or Casualty Event received by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) are used to acquire assets that are substantially similar or serve substantially the same operational function as the assets that were the subject of such Disposition or Casualty Event, or (b) are otherwise less than $15,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement, then in each case the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8.2 so long as the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the applicable Net Proceeds that it intends to reinvest such Net Proceeds (or portion thereof) in its business within 365 days following receipt of such Net Proceeds (which 365-day period may be extended by an additional 365 days if within the initial such 365-day period the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such proceeds in accordance with this Agreement) and so reinvests such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of such timeframe.

2.8.3 Excess Cash Flow Sweep. On each Sweep Payment Date, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Borrower shall repay the Loans in an amount equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal quarter; provided that (x) if, on the last day of such fiscal quarter, the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.50:1.00 but greater than 1.00:1.00, then 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such quarter shall be due and applied to prepay the Loans and (y) if, on the last day of such fiscal quarter, the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.00:1.00, then 25% of Excess Cash Flow for such quarter shall be due and applied to prepay the Loans, provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, in respect of the prepayment due under this Section 2.8.3 with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025, if the Borrower is not permitted to make such payment under the ABL Agreement due to a failure to satisfy the Payment Conditions (as defined in the ABL Agreement as in effect on the date hereof), such prepayment shall be deferred and fully due and payable on the immediately following Excess Cash Flow Payment Date.

2.8.4 Equity Sweep. On each Sweep Payment Date, the Borrower shall repay the Loans in an amount equal to 50% of the net proceeds of the issuance of any of its Equity Interests consummated during such fiscal quarter; provided that such rate shall be reduced to (i) 25% if, on the last day of such fiscal quarter, the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.50:1.00 and (ii) 0% if (A) the net proceeds thereof are used as consideration for an Acquisition permitted by Section 10.2.16 which results in the Total Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis to be less than the Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of the quarter, for which financial statements are available, ended immediately prior to the date of announcement of such permitted acquisition and (B) the proceeds of such issuance are used to fund such Acquisition within 60 days of receipt; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such proceeds are not applied to fund such Acquisition within such 60 day period, such proceeds shall be applied to repay the Loans in accordance with this Section 2.8.4.

2.8.5 Covenant Cure Payment. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary makes a Covenant Cure Payment hereunder then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such issuance at the time of Covenant Cure Payment.

2.8.6 Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with or prior to any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable proceeds giving rise to the prepayment and the amount required to be prepaid, including any applicable amounts under Sections 2.10.7 and Section 2.10.8 (the “Prepayment Amount”). In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer demonstrating the calculation of such excess.

2.9 Application of Payments. Any payment of any Loan made pursuant to Sections 2.6 (except as expressly otherwise provided in Sections 2.6.2), Section 2.7, Section 2.8 or Section 2.10 shall be applied as follows (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing):

first, to pay all unpaid expenses, fees and actual, incurred indemnities of the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent in their capacity as such due hereunder to the full extent thereof;

second, ratably to pay all unpaid expenses, fees and actual, incurred indemnities due hereunder to any Lender to the full extent thereof;

third, ratably to pay any accrued unpaid Interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if any) on Loans until paid in full;

fourth, ratably to pay the Call Protection Amount, if any, on the Loans until paid in full (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Call Protection Amount resulting from the prepayment of principal under clause fifth below);

fifth, ratably to prepay the principal amount of all Loans then outstanding in the order set forth in Section 2.10(b) until paid in full;

sixth, ratably to pay any other Obligations then due and payable; and

seventh, to the Borrower.

2.10 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower in respect of the Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without, recoupment, setoff, counterclaim or other defense, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered on the date due to the Administrative Agent Account for the account of Lenders not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time); funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date may, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, be deemed paid by the Borrower on the next Business Day.

(b) All prepayments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid. All prepayments in respect of the principal amount of the Loans shall be applied to any principal repayment obligations on the Loans (including scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.6.2) in the direct order of maturity.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Obligations due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

(e) [reserved]

(f) [reserved]

(g) If the Borrower prepays or is required to prepay, for any reason (other than prepayments of the Loans that are required pursuant to Section 2.6.2, 2.8.3, or 2.8.4), all or any portion of any such Loan prior to the final stated maturity date (a “Prepayment Event”), then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with Loans that are so prepaid or refinanced, the Call Protection Amount, as applicable in addition to all Obligations then due and payable; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives any Net Proceeds from a Disposition or a Casualty Event that are excluded from the requirement to prepay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.8.2, the receipt of such Net Proceeds shall not constitute a Prepayment Event.

(h) Any such Call Protection Amount shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of, and subject to the occurrence of, the Prepayment Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the final stated maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default, including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event pursuant to Section 11.1(j) (including the acceleration by operation of law), then (a) the amount of the principal of and premium on the Loans that become due and payable upon the date of such acceleration or such otherwise becoming due shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date plus the applicable Call Protection Amount in effect on such date, as if such acceleration or such otherwise becoming due were a voluntary prepayment of the Loans on such date and (b) without duplication, the Call Protection Amount applicable with respect to a voluntary prepayment of the Loans will be due and payable upon the date of such acceleration or such otherwise becoming due as though the Loans were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s loss as a result thereof. THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING CALL PROTECTION AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION OR SUCH OTHERWISE BECOMING DUE. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that (1) the Call Protection Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (2) the Call Protection Amount shall be payable upon such acceleration or otherwise becoming due as described in the second preceding sentence notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (3) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Obligors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Call Protection Amount under such circumstances, (4) the Obligors shall be stopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.10, (5) the Obligors’ agreement to pay the Call Protection Amount as described in the second preceding sentence is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans, (6) the Call Protection Amount represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such acceleration or such otherwise becoming due and (7) the Call Protection Amount payable pursuant to the second preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender, and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.

2.11 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Security Agreement with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment (the “Receiving

Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and apply a portion of such payment to make loans (the “Lender Loans”) (which it shall be deemed to have made simultaneously upon the receipt by each such other Lender of its portion of such payment) in the ratable Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such Receiving Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those Lender Loans made to the other Lenders shall be rescinded and the principal amounts of such Lender Loans shall be returned to the Receiving Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any Lender may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that Lender with respect thereto as fully as if that Lender were owed the amount of the Loans made by that Lender.

2.12 Increased Costs Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Change in Law: (a) subjects such Lender (or its Applicable Office) or the Administrative Agent to any additional Tax (other than (i) any Indemnified Tax or (ii) any Excluded Tax) with respect to its loans, loan principal, commitments, other obligations, deposits, reserves, other liabilities, or capital attributable thereto; (b) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or (c) imposes any other condition, cost or expense (in each case, other than Taxes) on or affecting such Lender (or its Applicable Office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of the certificate referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower (in the case of a Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written certificate, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.12, which statement shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any demands by any Lender or the Administrative Agent for compensation under this Section 2.12 (Increased Costs) shall be made consistently with respect to similarly situated borrowers entering into loan agreements with such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

2.13 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

2.13.1 Payments to be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on account of any Obligor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent otherwise required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

2.13.2 Withholding Taxes. If any Obligor or the Administrative Agent is required by law to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable under any of the Loan Documents (as determined by the applicable Obligor or the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion): (i) the applicable Obligor or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall pay (or cause to be paid) any such withheld or deducted Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority before the date on which penalties attach thereto; and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Obligor in respect of which the relevant deduction or withholding is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after any such deduction or withholding (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional Indemnified Taxes payable under this Section 2.13), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.

2.13.3 Other Taxes. In addition, the Obligors shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.13 reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

2.13.4 Indemnification. The Obligors shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Loan Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and all reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.13). 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.

2.13.5 Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.2.3 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 Section 2.13.5.

2.13.6 Administrative Requirements; Forms Provision.

(a) Any Recipient 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 Recipient, 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 Section 2.13.6(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iv) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) Each Lender that is a United States 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), copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. 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 Non-U.S. Lender eligible to claim 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, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

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

(iii) Each Non-U.S. 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 about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13.6(b)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(c) or before the date on which Banco Santander, S.A., New York Branch (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Borrower copies of either (i) IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax, or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a United States Person (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) (with respect to amounts received on its own account).

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.13 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

2.13.7 Refunds of Tax. If a Recipient determines in its reasonable discretion that it has received a refund of Taxes that were indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 or with respect to which any Obligor paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay the amount of such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments or additional amounts actually paid by the Obligors with respect to the Taxes giving rise to the refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Obligors shall, upon request by the Recipient, repay to the Recipient such amount paid over to the Obligors (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if the Recipient is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to the Obligors if such payment would place it in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it 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.

2.14 Tax Treatment The parties agree (i) that for U.S. federal and other applicable income tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by law, (a) the Loans shall be treated as “debt”, and (b) the Loans shall not be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” under Section 1.1275-4 of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any corresponding provision of state income tax law) and (ii) to file all U.S. federal income tax and state income tax and franchise tax returns in a manner consistent with (i), except, in each case, to the extent otherwise required by a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code or other resolution following a challenge of such treatment by the IRS.

2.15 [RESERVED]

2.16 Designation of a Different Lending Office If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.17 Inability to Determine Rates; Replacing Benchmarks

2.17.1 Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to Section 2.17.2 below, in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan, if (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period and, in the case of clause (ii), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods).

2.17.2 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.17.2(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.17.2(d) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.17.2, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17.2.

(d) 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), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) 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 (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of SOFR Loans to be made during any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

10.1.12 Future Subsidiaries. Promptly (and in any event within 10 days) notify Agent if any Person becomes a Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) and deliver any know-your customer or other background diligence information reasonably requested by Agent or any Lender with respect to such Subsidiary; and (provided it is not a Foreign Subsidiary) cause it to become a “Guarantor” under this Agreement and to guaranty and grant Liens securing the Obligations, in each case in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements and to take such other actions as Collateral Agent shall reasonably require to evidence and perfect Liens in favor of Collateral Agent on all assets of such Person, including delivery of legal opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

(i) the making of payments under the Tax Receivables Agreement (and the compliance with other obligations thereunder),

(j) activities incidental to any of the foregoing, and

(k) the management and payment for legal, tax and accounting matters in connection with any of the foregoing,

then, in such event, each of the references to “Parent” in this Agreement (other than in (a) the definitions of Change of Control, Permitted Tax Distribution, Parent and Tax Receivables Agreement, (b) Section 10.2.8(d), and (c) this Section) shall thereafter be deemed to mean Borrower (without any necessity for amendment of this Agreement), with the result, among other things, that the annual audited financial statements required under Section 10.1.1(a) shall be prepared for the Borrower rather than for Parent and all financial covenants set forth herein shall be determined at the Borrower level.

10.2.18 Funded CapEx Account. Permit any of the proceeds of the Loans deposited into the Funded CapEx Account to be intermingled with funds in any other account of the Obligors or otherwise deposited into another account of the Obligors or withdrawn; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Obligors may disburse such funds for the purposes of paying fees and transaction costs associated with the Transactions and making the capital expenditures set forth on Schedule 1.2.

10.3 Financial Covenant.

10.3.1 As long as any Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been asserted) are outstanding, Parent and Obligors shall maintain:

(a) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Parent, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025.

(b) a Total Leverage Ratio of not greater than (i) for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, 3.25 to 1.00 and (ii) for each fiscal quarter thereafter, 3.00 to 1.00, in each case, as of the last day of such fiscal quarter of Parent.

10.3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.1, in the event that Borrower fails to comply with any covenant set forth in Section 10.3.1 for any applicable period (a “Financial Covenant Default”), and until the expiration of the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered for such period pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a) or (b) and the corresponding Compliance Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1.1(d) with respect to the applicable fiscal quarterly period hereunder, the Borrower may (in accordance with applicable law) sell or issue common Equity Interests to any Person that is not a Obligor (to the extent such transaction would not result in a Change in Control) or otherwise obtain cash capital contributions on account of common Equity Interests and, in either case, apply the proceeds of such issuance of Equity Interests to increase EBITDA (such application, a “Covenant Cure Payment”); provided that (i) the proceeds of such issuance of Equity Interests or cash capital contribution, as applicable, are actually received by the Borrower no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements, for the applicable period for which such Financial Covenant Default has occurred, are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a) or (b) and the corresponding Compliance Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1.1(d) with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder and (ii) the amount of the Covenant Cure Payment shall not exceed the amount necessary to bring the Borrower into compliance with Section 10.3.1, if any. Subject to the terms set forth above and the terms in clause (b) and (c) below, upon (A) application of the proceeds of such issuance of Equity Interests or cash capital contribution, as applicable, as provided above within the ten (10) Business Day period described above in such amounts sufficient to cure the Events of Default under the covenants set forth in Section 10.3.1, and (B) delivery of an updated Compliance Certificate executed by a financial officer to the Administrative Agent reflecting compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 10.3.1, as applicable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have

satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach of the covenant and any related default that had occurred shall be deemed cured and no longer in existence. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Covenant Cure Payment made in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.3.2 shall be deemed to increase EBITDA by a like amount for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio for the relevant fiscal quarter.

The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Section 10.3.2 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios or other conditions or compliances other than the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.3.1 and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any decrease to Debt with the proceeds of such issuance of Equity Interests or other cash capital contribution, as applicable) other than the amount of EBITDA referred to in Section 10.3.1 above for purposes of determining the Borrower’s compliance with Section 10.3.1. To the extent a Covenant Cure Payment is applied to increase EBITDA, such Covenant Cure Payment shall only be taken into account in connection with the calculations of the covenants contained in Section 10.3.1 as of a particular fiscal quarter end and any subsequent calculations of such covenants which contain such particular fiscal quarter as part of its trailing twelve-month period or trailing four quarter period.

The cure rights provided in this Section 10.3.2 may not be exercised in any two consecutive quarters. The Borrower may not utilize more than five cures provided in this Section 10.3.2 during the duration of this Agreement.

The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available by agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.

Section 12. AGENT.

12.1 Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.

12.1.1 Appointment and Authority. Each Lender appoints and designates (i) Silver Point Finance LLC, as Collateral Agent under all Loan Documents and (ii) Banco Santander, S.A., New York Branch, as Administrative Agent under all Loan Documents. Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable may, and each Lender authorizes Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which such Person is intended to be a

party and accept all Security Documents. Any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; and (b) execute and deliver as Administrative Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document and (ii) Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as collateral agent for Lenders for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (b) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (c) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise.

12.1.2 Duties. The titles of “Administrative Agent”, “Collateral Agent” and “Agent” are used solely as a matter of market custom and the duties of Agent are administrative in nature only. Agent has no duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and in no event does Agent have any agency, fiduciary or implied duty to or relationship with any Lender or other Person by reason of any Loan Document or related transaction, even if a Default exists. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

12.1.3 Agent Professionals. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform their respective duties through their respective employees and agents. Administrative Agent may consult with and employ Administrative Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Administrative Agent Professional. Collateral Agent may consult with and employ Collateral Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by a Collateral Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals, in each case, selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.4 Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joining any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. In determining compliance with a condition for any action hereunder, including satisfaction of any condition in Section 6, Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Lender unless Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent have received notice to the contrary from such Lender before Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, takes the action. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred by Agent. Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances and shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 14.1.1. In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that it determines in its reasonable discretion is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could expose any Agent Indemnitee to potential liability.

12.2 Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials

12.2.1 Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Lenders authorize Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrower certifies in writing is a Permitted Disposition or a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) subject to Section 14.1, with the consent of Required Lenders. Lenders authorize Collateral Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Purchase Money Lien or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement. Agent has no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral. To the extent required under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, each Lender hereby grants to Collateral Agent any required power of attorney to take any action with respect to Collateral or to execute any Loan Document on the Lender’s behalf.

12.2.2 [Reserved].

12.2.3 Reports. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders and Collateral Agent, and Collateral Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders and Administrative Agent, when complete, any field examination, audit, appraisal or consultant report prepared for Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to Lenders by posting them on the Platform, but Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time to time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Borrower’s books, records and representations; (b) that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower Materials (or contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials solely for administration of the Obligations.

12.3 Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Communication (including those by telephone, e-mail or other electronic means) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act on any Communication and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.

12.4 Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If a Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Collateral Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations or assert any rights relating to any Collateral. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, on behalf on the Lenders to file a proof of claim and vote claims for the Obligations in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. At any foreclosure or other realization event with respect to the Collateral (including any sale authorized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code), Collateral Agent shall be entitled to credit bid the Obligations and establish vehicles and procedures therefor, at the direction of the Required Lenders and on behalf of the Lenders.

12.5 Ratable Sharing. If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its ratable share of such Obligation, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 2.11, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender , the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

If no successor is appointed by the effective date of Administrative Agent’s resignation, then on such date, Administrative Agent may appoint a successor acceptable to it in its reasonable discretion (which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role) or, in the absence of such appointment, Collateral Agent shall automatically assume all rights and duties of Administrative Agent. The successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act. The retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties hereunder on the effective date of its resignation, but shall continue to have all rights and protections available to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents with respect to actions, omissions, circumstances or Claims relating to or arising while it was acting or transferring responsibilities as Administrative Agent, including indemnification under Sections 12.6 and 14.2, and all rights and protections under this Section 12.

Each right, remedy and protection intended to be available to Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such agent. Lenders shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that Collateral Agent may request to effect such appointment. If any such agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of the agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Collateral Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.9 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance.

Each Lender has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the other Lenders have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. No act by Agent, including any consent, amendment, acceptance of assignment or due diligence by Agent, shall be deemed to constitute a representation by Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or its Affiliates. Each Lender represents and warrants that (a) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, and (b) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course, is sophisticated with respect to making such decisions and holding such loans, and is entering into this Agreement for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities as set forth herein, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument. Each Lender agrees not to assert any claim in contravention of the foregoing.

12.10.1 Remittances Generally. Payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the time and date provided herein, in immediately available funds.

Any such payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

12.10.2 Recovery of Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within 5 Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 12.10.2 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.10.2(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.10.2(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 12.10.2(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitment) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitment) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such promissory notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as

the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitment which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitment of any Lender.

(ii) Subject to Section 13.3, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Obligor; provided that this Section 12.10.2 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.10.2 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

12.10.3 Distributions. If Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If Agent is required to return any amounts applied by it to Obligations held by a Lender, such Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, its share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.11 [Reserved].

12.12 Titles. Each Lender shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any other party hereto.

12.13 Certain ERISA Matters.

12.13.1 Lender Representations. Each Lender represents and warrants, as of the date it became a Lender party hereto, and covenants, from the date it became a Lender party hereto to the date it ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Obligors, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (a) Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(42) or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Commitments or Loan Documents; (b) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Commitments and Loan Documents; (c)(i) Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Section VI of PTE 84-14), (ii) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, Commitments and Loan Documents, (iii) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Commitments and Loan Documents satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Section I of PTE 84-14, and (iv) to the best knowledge of Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Section I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Commitments and Loan Documents; or (d) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Agent, in its discretion, and Lender.

12.13.2 Further Lender Representation.

Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

13.2 Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 13.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if it had not sold such participating interests, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant.

13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases Borrower, Guarantor or substantially all Collateral.

13.2.3 Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower (solely for tax purposes), maintain a register (the “Participant Register”) in which it enters the Participant’s name, address and interest in Loans (and stated interest). Entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have an obligation to disclose any information in such Participant Register except to the extent necessary to establish that a Participant’s interest is in registered form under the Code.

13.2.4 Benefit of Setoff. Each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it.

13.3 Assignments.

13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Loans retained by the transferor Lender is at least $5,000,000 (unless (i) such partial assignment is to a Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund) otherwise agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent in their discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment to Administrative Agent for acceptance and recording. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

13.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Administrative Agent of a fully executed and completed Assignment accompanied by a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion), the assignment specified therein shall be effective as provided in the Assignment as long as it complies with this Section 13.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable.

13.3.3 Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to an Obligor, an Affiliate of an Obligor, or one or more natural persons. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any assignment is permitted under the Loan Documents.

13.3.4 Register.

Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Administrative Agent may choose to show only one Borrower as the borrower in the register, without any effect on the liability of any Obligor with respect to the Obligations. The register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.

13.3.5 Allocated Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, Banco Santander, S.A., New York Branch as Lender shall be permitted to assign its Loans to the Persons identified in Schedule 1.1-A so that the percentage of outstanding Loans matches the percentage of the Allocated Commitments and such assignment shall not require the payment of any processing fees, the delivery of an Assignment or the consent of any of the parties hereto.

13.4 Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender within the last 120 days failed to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, then Administrative Agent or Borrower may, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender, require it to assign its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment(s), within 20 days after the notice. Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment.

Section 14. MISCELLANEOUS.

14.1 Consents, Amendments and Waivers

In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that arises from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any dispute solely among the Indemnitees and not from any act or omission of any Obligor or its Affiliates, other than Claims against any arranger or agent in their capacities as such. This Section 14.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax Claim.

14.3 Notices and Communications

14.3.1 Notice Address. Subject to Section 14.3.2, all Communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Obligor, at Borrower’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. In addition, a Communication from Administrative Agent to Lenders may, to the extent permitted by law, be delivered electronically (i) by transmitting the Communication to the electronic address specified to Administrative Agent in writing by the applicable Lender from time to time, or (ii) by posting the Communication on a website and sending the Lender notice (electronically or otherwise) that the Communication has been posted and providing instructions (at such time or prior to delivery of such Communication) for viewing it. Each Communication shall be effective only (a) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; (b) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged; or (c) if provided electronically by Administrative Agent to Lenders, when the Communication (or notice advising of its posting to a website) is sent to the Lender’s electronic address. Any written Communication not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower shall be deemed received by all Obligors.

14.3.2 Communications. Electronic and telephonic Communications (including e-mail, messaging, voice mail and websites) may be used only for routine communications, such as the delivery of financial statements and other information required by Section 10.1.1, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents for execution and delivery of executed signature pages and such other communications as agreed by Administrative Agent and Borrower. Administrative Agent makes no assurance as to the privacy or security of electronic or telephonic Communications. E-mail and voice mail shall not be effective notices under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3 Platform. Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, including electronic delivery (if requested by Administrative Agent) to an electronic system maintained by it (“Platform”). Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform (which notice may be communicated electronically in accordance with Section 14.3.2) and the Borrower Materials on the Platform shall

be deemed received by Administrative Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. Communications, Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Lenders on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. No Administrative Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Obligors, Lenders or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform, including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials and other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail, or any other electronic platform or messaging system. Administrative Agent may, but is not obligated to, make Communications available to Obligors and Lenders by posting them on IntraLinks^TM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or other electronic platform.

14.3.4 Public Information. Obligors and Lenders acknowledge that “public” information may not be segregated from material non-public information on the Platform. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include Obligors’ material non-public information, which should not be made available to personnel who do not wish to receive such information or may be engaged in trading, investment or other market-related activities with respect to an Obligor’s securities.

14.3.5 Non-Conforming Communications. Administrative Agent and Lenders may rely on any Communication purportedly given by or on behalf of an Obligor even if it is not made in a manner specified herein, incomplete or not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, vary from an earlier Communication or later confirmation. Each Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any Communication purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor.

14.3.6 Reliance on Communications. No Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or other electronic means). Lenders may rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting on, any written Communication (which may be a fax, electronic message, internet or intranet website posting, or other distribution, or signed by an Electronic Signature) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). Agent shall be entitled to rely on the e-mail addresses and telephone numbers provided by Obligors, Lenders and their authorized representatives. Each Obligor hereby waives (a) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other Communication based solely on the lack of a paper original copy thereof, and (b) waives any claim against any Indemnitee for liabilities arising from its reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including liabilities relating to an Obligor’s failure to use a security measure in connection with execution, delivery or transmission of an Electronic Signature.

14.4 Performance of Obligors’ Obligations. Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may, as applicable, in their reasonable discretion and good faith business judgment, at any time and from time to time, at Obligors’ expense with, unless an Event of Default is continuing, five (5) days prior written notice to the Borrower, pay any amount or do any act required of an Obligor under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Collateral Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to such party by Obligors, promptly following written demand therefor, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5 Credit Inquiries. Administrative Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

14.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

14.8 Execution; Electronic Records. Any Loan Document, including any required to be in writing, may (if agreed by Administrative Agent) be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. An Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each Obligor and other party thereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party, enforceable to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature were delivered. A Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. The parties may use or accept manually signed paper Communications converted into electronic form (such as scanned into pdf), or electronically signed Communications converted into other formats, for

transmission, delivery and/or retention. Administrative Agent and Lenders may, at their option, create one or more copies of a Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the Person’s business, and may destroy the original paper document. Any Communication in the form or format of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything herein, (a) Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form unless expressly agreed by it pursuant to procedures approved by it; (b) each Lender shall be entitled to rely on any Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of an Obligor without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such Electronic Signature; and (c) upon request by Administrative Agent, any Loan Document using an Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed original counterpart.

14.9 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter thereof.

14.10 Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent and any Lender to be a partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

14.11 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Obligors acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any arranging or other services by Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Obligors and their Affiliates, on one hand, and Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger, on the other hand; (ii) Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory, tax and other advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Administrative Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Administrative Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Obligors or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

14.12 Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, auditors, advisors, attorneys, consultants, service providers and other representatives (provided they are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) to the extent such Information is (i) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (ii) available to Administrative Agent and any Lender or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower, or (iii) independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any Information or violating this Section; (h) on a confidential basis to a provider of a Platform; or (i) with the consent of Borrower. Obligors consent to the publication by Administrative Agent and Lenders of customary advertising material relating to transactions contemplated hereby, using the names, product photographs, logos or trademarks of Obligors and Subsidiaries. Administrative Agent and Lenders may disclose information regarding this Agreement and the credit facility hereunder to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the Loan Documents and Commitments. As used herein, “Information” means information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. A Person required to maintain confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that accorded its own confidential information. Each of Administrative Agent and Lenders acknowledge that (i) Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information; and (iii) it will handle the material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any person and, in any event, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or impede any Person from reporting possible legal violations to any regulatory authority.

14.13 [Reserved]..

14.14 GOVERNING LAW. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.

A final judgment in any proceeding of any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

14.15.2 Other Jurisdictions. Nothing herein shall limit the right of any party to bring proceedings against any other party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by any party hereto of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

14.16 Waivers. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES (A) THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH EACH LENDER HEREBY ALSO WAIVES) IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE OF ANY KIND RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, OBLIGATIONS OR COLLATERAL; (B) PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PRESENTMENT, DEFAULT, NON-PAYMENT, MATURITY, RELEASE, COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL OF ANY COMMERCIAL PAPER, ACCOUNTS, DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER AND GUARANTIES AT ANY TIME HELD BY COLLATERAL AGENT ON WHICH PARENT OR AN OBLIGOR MAY IN ANY WAY BE LIABLE, AND HEREBY RATIFIES ANYTHING COLLATERAL AGENT MAY DO IN THIS REGARD; (C) NOTICE PRIOR TO TAKING POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF ANY COLLATERAL; (D) ANY BOND OR SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY A COURT PRIOR TO ALLOWING COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES; (E) THE BENEFIT OF ALL VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT AND EXEMPTION LAWS; (F) ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN INDEMNITEE ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION, OBLIGATIONS, LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO; AND (G) NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE HEREOF.

In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

14.17 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 the parties, each party hereto (including each Lender) acknowledges that, with respect to any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution, any liability of such Lender arising under a Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority, and each party hereto agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liability which may be payable to it by such Lender; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including (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 any Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers.

Administrative Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding any personal guarantor and may require information regarding Obligors’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth.
