“Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate” means, with respect to any EurodollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the sum of (a) the LIBOTerm SOFR Rate for such Interest Period (plus (b) 0.10%; provided that, solely for purposes of this clause (a), any Interest Period of less than one-month if the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate as so determined would be less than the Floor, such rate shall be deemed to be one-month) multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rateequal to the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement.

“Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Banks hereunder, and its successors in such capacity.

All computations of Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense and/or Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, in each case, for any period made hereunder giving effect to any Material Acquisition or Material Disposition shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction had occurred on the first day of such period.

For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “EurodollarTerm Benchmark Revolving Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “EurodollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “EurodollarTerm Benchmark Revolving Borrowing”).

SECTION 1.04. Calculations; Compliance with this Agreement.

(a) The Administrative Agent may set up appropriate rounding-off mechanisms or otherwise round-off amounts hereunder to the nearest higher or lower amount in whole Dollars, whole other currency or smaller denomination thereof to ensure amounts owing by any party hereunder or that otherwise need to be calculated or converted hereunder are expressed in whole Dollars, whole other currency or in whole smaller denomination thereof, as may be necessary or appropriate

(b) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that by the terms of the Loan Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test, such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

(c) It is understood and agreed that any Liens, sale, transfer, lease, disposition, merger, dissolution, liquidation, consolidation, amalgamation, or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one clause of Section 5.07, 5.09, 5.10 or 5.13, respectively, but may instead be permitted from time to time in part or in whole under any combination thereof.

SECTION 1.05. Calculation of Financial Ratios. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Debt or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Debt under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 or 2015-03 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Debt in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) in a manner such that any obligations relating to a lease that was accounted for as an operating lease as of the Effective Date and any similar lease entered into after the Effective Date shall be accounted for as obligations relating to an operating lease and not as a capital lease.

SECTION 1.06. Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollarsDollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discounted and/or the bases on which

30

they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 8.01(b) and (c) provideprovides the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks, pursuant to Section 8.01(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate”Term SOFR Rate or any other Benchmark or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 8.01(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Ratesuch Benchmark or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered ratesuch Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

SECTION 1.07. Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person.

SECTION 1.09. Funds Certain Provisions.

(a) Solely during the period from and including the Effective Date and to and including the earlier of (x) August 31, 2021 and (y) the date of the consummation of the Existing Notes Redemption (such period, the “Redemption Period”) and notwithstanding (i) that any representation given as a condition to the Effective Date (excluding the Specified Representations constituting conditions to funding as set forth Section 3.02) was incorrect, (ii) any failure by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to comply with any of the affirmative covenants, negative covenants or financial covenants (other than as described below), (iii) that any condition to the Effective Date may be subsequently determined to not have been satisfied, (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than as described below) or (v) any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall be entitled to (unless an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (g) and (h) in respect of the Borrower, in each case, shall have occurred and is continuing) (A) rescind, terminate, accelerate or cancel any of its Commitments hereunder or exercise any right or remedy hereunder, (B) refuse to fund any Borrowing hereunder in connection with the Existing Notes Redemption or (C) exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the rights and remedies of the Banks and the Administrative Agent with respect to any condition precedent expressly set forth in Section 3.02 shall not be limited in the event that any such condition precedent is not satisfied or waived on the date of any Borrowing hereunder in connection with the Existing Notes Redemption and (y) after the funding of any Loans hereunder in connection with the Existing Notes Redemption, all of the rights, remedies and entitlements of the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be available notwithstanding that such rights, remedies or entitlements were not available prior to such time as a result of this paragraph.

(b) Timing of Payment or Performance. When payment of any obligation is stated to be due or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of Interest Period) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(c) Limited Condition Transactions. Solely with respect to a Borrowing of New Term Loans, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including in connection with any calculation made on a pro forma basis), to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or test or the availability under any basket, (ii) the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (iii) the making of any representation or warranty, in each case as a condition to the consummation of any transaction in connection with any acquisition or similar investment (including the assumption or incurrence of Debt) (such transaction, a “Limited Condition Transaction”) at the election of the Borrower (the “LCT Election”), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made at the time (the “LCT Test Time”) of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended fiscal period at the time of) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such transaction; provided that, that if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters or fiscal years, as applicable, shall have become available prior to the consummation of the applicable Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine whether the relevant condition is satisfied above on the basis of such financial statements (for the avoidance of doubt, giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction), in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable test date of such ratio, test or basket for

32

purposes of the applicable LCT Election. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Time would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction), at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations.

Any amounts received by the Swingline Bank from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Bank of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Banks that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Banks, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Bank or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) The Swingline Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Bank and the successor Swingline Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of the Swingline Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Bank pursuant to Section 2.08(a). From and after the effective date of

36

any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Bank under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Bank, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Swingline Bank hereunder, the replaced Swingline Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Bank under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(e) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Bank, the Swingline Bank may resign as a Swingline Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Revolving Banks, in which case, such Swingline Bank shall be replaced in accordance this Section.

The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Promissory Notes. Any Bank may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more Notes. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank one or more Notes payable to such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its registered assigns) and payable in the original principal amount of the applicable Commitment.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days (or such lesser period as the Administrative Agent shall agree in writing (including electronic communications) in its sole discretion) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof.

transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Banks in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

SECTION 2.11. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.12. Prepayments.

(a) Prepayment of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) Notice of Prepayment. The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Bank) by written notice (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation of such request) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three (3) Business Days (or such lesser period as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in writing) before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. (or such later time as the Administrative Agent shall agree in writing (including electronic communications) in its sole discretion), New York City time on the date of prepayment or, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five (5) Business Days before the date of prepayment (or such lesser period as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in writing) or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. (or such later time as the Administrative Agent shall agree in writing (including electronic communications) in its sole discretion), New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied or such event does not occur. Promptly following receipt of any such, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in this Article II, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.08 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 8.04.

(c) If at any time, the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitment, the Borrower agrees in each case to promptly (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) upon notice of such excess being given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, repay Revolving Loan Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section  2.17(jk), as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated) to be less than or equal to the total Revolving Commitments. For avoidance of doubt, no notice shall be required to be provided by the Borrower under this Section 2.12(c).

41

SECTION 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 8.03, Section 8.04 or Section 8.05, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder, in immediately available funds, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day solely for purposes of calculating interest thereon and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining whether a payment has been received (it being understood and agreed that any payment received after 1.00 p.m. on the applicable date shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder so long as such payment is received on the date such payment is due). All such payments shall be made (i) in the same currency in which the applicable Credit Event was made and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at its offices in New York City, except payments to be made directly to Issuing Banks or Swingline Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 8.03, Section 8.04, Section 8.05 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Bank, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Banks to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

42

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, prior to any date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks or the Issuing Banks pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document (including any date that is fixed for prepayment by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(b)), notice from the Borrower that the Borrower will not make such payment or prepayment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 2.14. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.15. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.16. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a) Committed Borrowings. The Loans included in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject to Section 2.16(d) and the provisions of Article VIII and not including any Swingline Loans), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are ABR Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Eurodollar Loans Term Benchmark Loans or, in the case of Revolving Loans, RFR Loans, as of any Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loans are EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to ABR Loans or, in the case of Revolving Loans, RFR Loans, as of any Business Day or may elect to continue such Loans as EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans, as of the end of any Interest Period applicable thereto, for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 8.04 if any such conversion is effective on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans.; and

(iii) if such Loans are RFR Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, or may elect to continue such Loans as RFR Loans, as of the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, until the next Interest Payment Date for such RFR Loans, subject to Section 8.04 if any such conversion is effective on any day other than the Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering an Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.02 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. An Interest Election Request may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Interest Election Request applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each at least $10,000,000 (unless such portion is comprised of ABR Loans). If no such notice is timely received before the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Eurodollar LoansTerm Benchmark Loans or the Interest Payment Date for any Group of RFR Loans, as applicable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be converted to ABR Loans at the end of such Interest Period or, in the case of an RFR Borrowing, on the next Interest Payment Date in respect thereof.

43

(b) Contents of Interest Election Request. Each Interest Election Request shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section 2.16(a);

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in an Interest Election Request shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Notice to Banks. Promptly after receiving an Interest Election Request from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(a), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(d) Limitation on Election. The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans, or continue any EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans for an additional Interest Period and, unless repaid, (i) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) each RFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period or on Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, applicable thereto, in each case, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent. This section shall not apply to Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans shall accrue interest as ABR Loans and the Borrower may not at any time elect to change the type of interest rate borne by the Swingline Loans.

(e) Payment of Accrued Interests. If any Loan is converted to a different type of Loan, the Borrower shall pay, on the date of such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the principal amount being converted.

SECTION 2.17. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of letters of credit as the applicant thereof and for the support of itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, denominated in Dollars and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank selected by it and to the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, but in any event no less than three Business Days) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or

44

identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case, as required by the respective Issuing Bank and using such Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or overlap between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) (x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $40,000,000, (iii) no Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment and (iv) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided however, that (x) if the Borrower so requests, any Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue Letters of Credit with an expiry date that occurs after the Revolving Termination Date and (y) with respect to each such Letter of Credit with an expiry date beyond the Revolving Termination Date, the Borrower shall either (1) pledge to the applicable Issuing Bank cash collateral, (2) backstop such Letter of Credit with another letter of credit or (3) provide other credit support reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank (in the case of the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), in an amount equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon), in each case, in the manner as agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank.

45

(d) Auto-Extensions. If the Borrower so requests in any applicable notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Banks shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date in compliance with paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of this Section 2.17 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Banks have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Bank or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

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

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.05(b) that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Bank’s Applicable

46

Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Bank (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Banks. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Banks and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Banks nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential of punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), each Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by

47

telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.08(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement shall be for the account of such Revolving Bank to the extent of such payment.

(j) Replacement of an Issuing Bank.

(i) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Banks of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17 and Article VIII. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Banks, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.17(j)(i) above.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Banks with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Banks (the “Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (c) of this Section, if any LC Exposure remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in said paragraph (c), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

48

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Banks), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder to secure Letters of Credit with expiry dates beyond the Revolving Termination Date, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after the Letter of Credit with the latest expiry date has expired if as of such date no further Letters of Credit are outstanding and all LC Disbursements have been reimbursed. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the fact that the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after the date when the Revolving Credit Exposures no longer exceed the total Commitments.

SECTION 2.18. Increase of Revolving Commitments. By written notice sent to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the Revolving Banks), the Borrower may request, at any time, and from time to time an increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount equal to any integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) at no time shall the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments plus the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans exceed $1,125,000,0001,325,000,000 in the aggregate. No Revolving Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment. A Revolving Bank’s decision whether to increase its Revolving Commitment under this Section 2.18 if it is requested to do so shall be made in such Revolving Bank’s sole and absolute discretion and any failure to respond to a request shall be deemed to be a decision by such Revolving Bank that it will not increase its Revolving Commitment. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Banks or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (a “New Bank”) and any such increased amount (the “Increase Amount”) provided that each New Bank shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, to the extent the approval of the Administrative Agent would be required to effect an assignment to such New Bank under Section 9.06(b) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or denied). Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Banks and the Borrower that the Revolving Banks, or sufficient Revolving Banks and New Banks, have agreed to commit to an aggregate amount equal to the Increase Amount (or such lesser amount as the Borrower shall agree, which shall be at least $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof), then: provided that, no Event of Default exists at such time or after giving effect to the requested increase, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks willing to increase their respective Revolving Commitments and the New Banks (if any) shall execute and deliver an Increased Commitment Supplement (herein so called) in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto. No consent of any Bank (other than the Banks participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18. If all existing Revolving Banks shall not have provided their pro rata portion of the requested increase, on the effective date of the Increased Commitment

49

Supplement the Revolving Banks shall make advances among themselves (which may be through the Administrative Agent) so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Revolving Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages hereunder. The advances made under this Section by each Revolving Bank whose Applicable Percentage is new or has increased under the Increased Commitment Supplement (as compared to its Applicable Percentage prior to the effectiveness of the Increased Commitment Supplement) shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Bank or Revolving Banks whose Applicable Percentage has decreased (as compared to its Applicable Percentage prior to the effectiveness of the Increased Commitment Supplement). The advances made under this Section shall be ABR Borrowings made under each Revolving Bank’s Revolving Commitment unless another type of Borrowing is selected by the Borrower to be applicable thereto.

Each Borrowing and each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit hereunder shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing or the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, as to the facts specified in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of this Section.

Until the Facility Termination, the Borrower covenant and agrees with the Banks that:

THE AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Appointment and Authorization.

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

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Bank and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Banks and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Banks prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose,

62

and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;

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

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

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

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

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

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

63

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Section 2.09, Section 2.08, Section 8.01, Section 8.04 and Section 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

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

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

(g) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions (other than Section 7.05).

64

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.01 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under Section 5.01” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Bank or an Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any claim, liability, loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Bank or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Credit Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Bank or Issuing Bank, or any exchange rate.

SECTION 7.03. Posting of Communications.

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

65

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

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

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

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

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

66

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

SECTION 7.04. The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans (including Swingline Loans), Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Banks”, “Required Banks” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Bank, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Banks, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks or the Issuing Banks.

SECTION 7.05. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (ii) the Required Banks shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Bank and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the

67

Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.06. Acknowledgements of Banks and Issuing Banks.

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

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

SECTION 7.07. Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(a) Eurodollar Borrowings. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 8.01:

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

69

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, subject to replacing the LIBOTerm SOFR Rate pursuant to Section 8.01(b), (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Notice of Borrowing requests (1) a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as (x) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, (1) with respect to any such Borrowing denominated in Dollarsan RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) in the case of a Term Loan or if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above, an ABR Borrowing or (2) an RFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (2) otherwise, shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of BorrowingsBorrowing , then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 8.01(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request or a new Notice of Borrowing, subject to replacing the Term SOFR Rate pursuant to Section 8.01(b), (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) in the case of a Revolving Loan, an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) in the case of a Term Loan or if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above, an ABR Loan, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.

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

70

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Banks and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its discretion in consultation with the Borrower.

(c) [Reserved].

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

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrower or any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 8.01, 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 8.01.

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

71

(g) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 8.01, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A)  in the case of a Revolving Loan, an RFR Loan, or (B) in the case of a Term Loan or if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 8.01, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) in the case of a Revolving Loan, an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) in the case of a Term Loan or if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, an ABR Loan, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance, including Proposed United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-6 and any future guidance, so that a Benchmark Replacement will not result in a deemed exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes of any Loan under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different lending office for EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such notice is given, each EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to an ABR Loan either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan to such day or (b) immediately (i) if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan to such day or (ii) in the case of a RFR Loan. Interest and principal on any such ABR Loan shall be payable on the same dates as, and on a pro rata basis with, the interest and principal payable on the related EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans of the other Banks.

SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate) or Issuing Bank;

72

(ii) impose on any Bank or Issuing Bank or the Londonapplicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Bank or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Reduced Return. If any Bank or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Bank shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts under this clause (b) if such Bank is then generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities having comparable reimbursement provisions.

(c) Bank Certificate. A certificate of a Bank or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Request for Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 8.04. Break-Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) subject to Section 8.01, the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12 and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower agrees to compensate each Bank (other than, in the case of a claim for compensation based on the failure to borrow as specified in clause (c) above, any Bank whose failure to make a Loan required to be made by it hereunder has resulted in such failure to borrow) for the loss, cost and expense actually incurred by such Bank attributable to such event (other than the loss of Applicable Rate for EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans). In the case of a EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Bank shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Bank to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Bank would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. With respect to RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the failure to borrow or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12 and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (iii) the assignment of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower agrees to pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 8.05. Taxes.

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

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

74

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Tax Indemnity. Without duplication of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 8.05(a) or Section 8.05(b), the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Recipient, within 15 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, 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 Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Banks. (i) Any Bank 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 Bank, 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 Bank 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 8.05(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

75

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

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

(2) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Bank 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 I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank 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 within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as applicable; or

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

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

76

(D) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue 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 Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D) and Section 8.05(i) below, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

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

(h) On or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed original copies of, if it is a United States Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, and, if it is not a United States Person, (1) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial owner and (2) IRS Form W-8IMY (together with required accompanying documentation) with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Banks. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by to be withheld under applicable law. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 8.05(h). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 8.05(h) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.05(h), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any form that such Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver.

77

(i) If a payment made to the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if the Administrative Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine whether the Administrative Agent has complied with its obligations under FATCA, and to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of Section 8.05(f)(ii)(D) and this Section 8.05(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments after the date of this Agreement.

(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(k) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 8.05, the term “Bank” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 8.06. [Reserved].

SECTION 8.07. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks.

(a) If any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.05, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.05, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.05, (iii) any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank or (iv) any Bank shall fail to consent to a departure or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or fail to agree to any amendment thereto, which waiver, consent or amendment requires the consent of all Banks or of all Banks directly affected thereby and has been consented to by the Required Banks, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.05) and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (w) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent required under Section 9.06 (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (x) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to

78

the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); provided, however, that, in the case of the Borrower’s replacement of a Defaulting Bank for failure to fund Loans hereunder, the assignee or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall hold back from such amounts payable to such Bank and pay directly to the Administrative Agent any payments due to the Administrative Agent or the non-Defaulting Banks by the Defaulting Bank under this Agreement, (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.05, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Bank required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 8.08. [Reserved].

SECTION 8.09. Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a) facility fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(a);

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 9.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such

79

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

(c) the Commitment, the outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Bank or each Bank affected thereby which affects such Defaulting Bank differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank, and provided, further, that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank made pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02 (but, in respect of such clauses (ii) and (iii), only to the extent relating to principal or interest) shall also require the consent of any such Bank which has become a Defaulting Bank;

(d) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Bank that is a Swingline Bank, the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Bank, cause such non-Defaulting Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure, in each case, after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(b)(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure pursuant to this clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Banks pursuant to Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Bank hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Bank (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09 with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

80

(e) so long as such Revolving Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Swingline Bank shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with this Section, and Swingline Exposure related to any newly made Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with this Section (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein); and

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Bank Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Bank or Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Bank commits to extend credit, no Swingline Bank shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Bank, satisfactory to such Swingline Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank hereunder.

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank having been a Defaulting Bank.

The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (x) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or other non-monetary remedy; provided, further, that all out-of-pocket legal expenses shall be limited to one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees and if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and one firm of special counsel in each appropriate specialty, in each case for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower in writing of such conflict and therefore retains its own counsel, of one additional firm of counsel for all such affected Indemnitees). This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Banks. Each Bank severally agrees to pay any amount required to be paid by the Borrower under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03 to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in its capacity as such; provided further that no Bank shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,

83

penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Waiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, and each Indemnitee all not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower (i) for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) in connection with the Loan Documents, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) Timing. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Bank, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other obligations at any time owing, by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Bank or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Bank, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Bank or such Issuing Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.09 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Banks, and (y) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Bank, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Bank, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Bank and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.05. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Subject to Section 8.01(b), (c), (d) and (f), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (w) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Banks, (x) pursuant to a New Term Loan Supplement executed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.01(c) which only needs to be signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks providing the New Term Loan Commitments thereunder, (y) pursuant to an Increased Commitment Supplement executed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.18 which only needs to be signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Banks increasing or providing new Revolving Commitments,

(A) the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof); provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment of (x) any Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan to an assignee that is a Revolving Bank (other than a Defaulting Bank) immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or to an Affiliate of a Revolving Bank or an Approved Fund of a Revolving Bank or (y) all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank, or an Approved Fund or, (2) if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Bank or the assignee Bank or shared between such Banks;

86

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material nonpublic information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

With respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the Trade Date applicable to its assignment, (i) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from having become a Bank pursuant to such assignment and (ii) such assignee will become a Disqualified Institution in accordance with the definition thereof notwithstanding the consummation of such assignment and the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any assignment to an assignee that is or becomes a Disqualified Institution shall not be void, but the following provisions shall apply:

(1) if any assignment is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior consent, or if any Bank becomes a Disqualified Institution after the Trade Date of the applicable assignment to such Bank, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Person (other than an Ineligible Institution) that shall assume such obligations at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to such Disqualified Institution hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in clause (ii)(C) above and (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws;

(2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (ia) Disqualified Institutions that are either Banks or Participants (i) will not (Ax) have any inspection rights or the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Banks by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, (By) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Banks and the Administrative Agent or (Cz) access any electronic site established for the Banks or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Banks and (ii)(A) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Bank to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution (whether a Bank or a Participant) will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Banks that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (Bb) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any debtor relief laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution (whether a Bank or a Participant) hereby

87

agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws), and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2);

(3) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to each Bank requesting the same; and

(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Bank or Participant or prospective Bank or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

For the purposes of this Section 9.06(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

88

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. This Section 9.06(b) shall be construed so that each Loan, LC Disbursement and other obligation hereunder is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax documentation required by Section 8.05(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Bank or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.17(e) or Section 2.17(f), Section 2.04(b), Section 2.13 or Section 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Participations. Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution (other than any Disqualified Institution) or, to the extent the Disqualified Institution List has been posted on the Approved Electronic Platform for all Banks, any Disqualified Institution, in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.02. that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.03, Section 8.04 and Section 8.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, applied as if such Participant were a Bank) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 and Section 8.05(f) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.05(f) shall be delivered to the participating Bank); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or Section 8.05, with respect to any participation, than the Bank from which it acquired such participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a

89

greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired such participation. Each Bank that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 8.07(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.09(b) as though it were a Bank. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Disbursements or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Disbursements or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit, LC Disbursements or other obligation is in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Pledge. Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.07. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This governing law election has been made by the parties in reliance (at least in part) on Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, as amended (as and to the extent applicable), and other applicable law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any other party hereto, any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to above. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 9.09. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to (i) fees payable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the reductions of the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereby (i) agree that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Borrower, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waive any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

SECTION 9.10. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law (a) the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet); except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final nonappealable judgment that such Indemnitee acted with bad faith, unlawful conduct, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (b) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any

91

theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.12 shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party to the extent reimbursement is required under Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.13. Construction. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Bank acknowledges that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties thereto.

SECTION 9.14. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (1) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (2) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates; provided such source is not known by the receiving party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to Borrower, or (i) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty with a Bank or its Affiliates in a Swap Agreement or such counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16); provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Bank shall notify the Borrower of any request by any regulatory authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition of such Bank by such regulatory authority) for disclosure of any such nonpublic information prior to disclosure of such information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower provided that, in the case of

92

information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH BANK ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH BANK REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 9.17. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.18. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from either party hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agree, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Banks as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Bank under Section 2.13, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

93

SECTION 9.19. No Fiduciary Duty, etc.. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its respective Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to such the Borrower with respect thereto.

The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which it may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its respective Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower or their Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

SECTION 9.20. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

94

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability

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

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

SECTION 9.21. Payments.

(a) Each Bank and Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Bank or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Bank or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Bank or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Bank or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Bank or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Bank or Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank or Issuing Bank under this Section 9.21 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

95

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees that in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Bank or Issuing Bank that has received such erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, (x) the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of the Borrower.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.21 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
