if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the Requisite Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the appropriate Lenders pursuant to Section 12.6.); provided further that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

(b) Financial Covenant Calculations. Other than in connection with the determination of Total Asset Value and Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents (which shall be determined for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis), all financial covenants (and related definitions) set forth in the Loan Documents shall be determined for the Parent and the Parent’s Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; provided that the financial attributes of the Parent’s Unconsolidated Affiliates shall be considered only to the extent of the Company’s Ownership Share therein. The calculation of liabilities shall not include any fair value adjustments to the carrying value of liabilities to record such liabilities at fair value pursuant to electing the fair value option election under FASB ASC 825-10-25 (formerly known as FAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities) or other FASB standards allowing entities to elect fair value option for financial liabilities. Therefore, the amount of liabilities shall be the historical cost basis, which generally is the contractual amount owed adjusted for amortization or accretion of any premium or discount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the purposes of the financial covenants in Section 9.1., Capitalized Lease Obligations shall include only those lease obligations that are classified as (i) a “Capital Lease” in accordance with GAAP prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) and related ASUs or (ii) a “Finance Lease” in accordance with GAAP to the extent the lease was not previously considered an “Operating Lease” in accordance with GAAP prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and related ASUs. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the financial covenants in Section 9.1. shall ignore the adoption of ASU 2016-02 such that (i) Capitalized Lease Obligations shall specifically exclude any operating lease liabilities under GAAP as in effect on the Effective Date and upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and (ii) related operating lease assets shall similarly be excluded.

(c) General. References in this Agreement to “Sections”, “Articles”, “Exhibits” and “Schedules” are to sections, articles, exhibits and schedules herein and hereto unless otherwise indicated. references in this Agreement to any document, instrument or agreement (a) shall include all exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto, (b) except as expressly provided otherwise in any Loan Document, shall include all documents, instruments or agreements issued or executed in replacement thereof, to the extent permitted hereby and (c) shall mean such document, instrument or agreement, or replacement or predecessor thereto, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time to the extent not otherwise stated herein or prohibited hereby and in effect at any given time. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter.

Section 1.3. Rates.

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2.(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, or any other Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 1.4. Amendment and Restatement.

The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1., the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation. All Loans made and Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 5.1., continue as Loans and Obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (b) all obligations constituting “Obligations” with any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure under

- 52 -

the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder reflects such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure on the Effective Date, (d) each Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans (or any “LIBOR Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement) and such reallocation described above, in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 4.4. hereof and (e) the revolving loans previously made to the Borrower by the Departing Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement which remain outstanding as of the date of this Credit Agreement shall be repaid in full (accompanied by any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon), the Departing Lenders’ “Commitments” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated and no Departing Lender shall be a Lender hereunder.

Each Departing Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the repaying in full in immediately available funds of the revolving loans previously made to the Borrower by such Departing Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement which remain outstanding as of the date hereof, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon (including without limitation any applicable breakage fees), it is no longer a party to the Existing Credit Agreement and will not be a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that all provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement that, by their terms, survive the replacement of such Departing Lender, the termination of the commitments of such Departing Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all of the Borrower Obligations (collectively, the “Departing Lender Repayment”) shall survive such Departing Lender Repayment, including without limitation the indemnities in favor of such Departing Lender set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, interest on all “LIBOR Loans” outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall continue to accrue and be paid based upon “LIBOR” applicable pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement solely until the expiration of the current “Interest Period” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and taking into account any grace periods or extensions of such “Interest Period” approved prior to the Effective Date) applicable thereto (at which time such LIBOR Loans may be reborrowed as or converted to Base Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.11.); provided, however, that from and after the Effective Date, the Applicable Margin to be applied to any such LIBOR Loans shall be based on the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans after the Effective Date.

Article II. Credit Facility

Section 2.1. Revolving Loans.

(a) Making of Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.16, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars to any of the Borrowers during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be (i) Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) Term SOFR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences but subject to Section 2.16., a borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

- 53 -

(b) Requests for Revolving Loans. Not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the proposed date of a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans and not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least 3 U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Term SOFR Loans, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day for any Loan and a U.S. Government Securities Business Day for any Term SOFR Loan), the use of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be Term SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan, a Daily SOFR Loan or a Term SOFR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide such Borrower with the most recent SOFR available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the applicable Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Loan, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c) Funding of Revolving Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Assumptions Regarding Funding by Lenders. With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the applicable Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.

Section 2.2. [Reserved].

Section 2.3. Bid Rate Loans.

(a) Bid Rate Loans. At any time during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, and so long as the Company continues to maintain an Investment Grade Rating from S&P and Moody’s, the Company may, as set forth in this Section, request the Lenders to make offers to make Bid Rate Loans to the Company in Dollars. The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

(b) Requests for Bid Rate Loans. When the Company wishes to request from the Lenders offers to make Bid Rate Loans, it shall give the Administrative Agent notice (a “Bid Rate Quote Request”) so as to be received no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on (x) the Business Day immediately preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) the date four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of each Bid Rate Quote Request promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent. The Company may request offers to make Bid Rate Loans for up to 3 different Interest Periods in any one Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that if granted each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate borrowing (a “Bid Rate Borrowing”). Each Bid Rate Quote Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit M and shall specify as to each Bid Rate Borrowing all of the following:

(i) the proposed date of such Bid Rate Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Borrowing which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof which shall not cause any of the limits specified in Section 2.16. to be violated;

(iii) whether the Bid Rate Quote Request is for SOFR Margin Loans or Absolute Rate Loans; and

(iv) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, which shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.

The Company shall not deliver any Bid Rate Quote Request within 5 Business Days of the giving of any other Bid Rate Quote Request and the Company shall not deliver more than 4 Bid Rate Quote Requests in any calendar month.

(c) Bid Rate Quotes.

(i) Each Lender may submit one or more Bid Rate Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Bid Rate Loan in response to any Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that, if the Company’s request under Section 2.3.(b) specified more than one Interest Period, such Lender may make a single submission containing only one Bid Rate Quote for each such Interest Period. Each Bid Rate Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date 3 Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction, and in either case the Administrative Agent shall disregard any Bid Rate Quote received after such time; provided that the Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent may submit a Bid Rate Quote only if it notifies the Company of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time by which the Lenders must submit applicable Bid Rate Quotes. Any Bid

- 55 -

Rate Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Company. Such Bid Rate Loans may be funded by a Lender’s Designated Lender (if any) as provided in Section 12.5.(h); however, such Lender shall not be required to specify in its Bid Rate Quote whether such Bid Rate Loan will be funded by such Designated Lender.

(ii) Each Bid Rate Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit N and shall specify:

(A) the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;

(B) the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which each such offer is being made; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Rate Loans for which a Lender submits Bid Rate Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Revolving Commitment of such Lender but (y) shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested; provided further that any Bid Rate Quote shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(C) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%)) offered for each such Absolute Rate Loan (the “Absolute Rate”);

(D) in the case of a SOFR Auction, the margin above or below applicable SOFR (the “SOFR Margin”) offered for each such SOFR Margin Loan, expressed as a percentage (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%)) to be added to (or subtracted from) the applicable SOFR; and

(E) the identity of the quoting Lender.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Company, no Bid Rate Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Company of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.

(d) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after the Bid Rate Quotes are submitted (but in any event not later than 11:30 a.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction or (y) on the date 3 Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction), notify the Company of the terms (i) of any Bid Rate Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.3.(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Rate Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Bid Rate Quote Request. Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Company shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, so offered by each Lender (identifying the Lender that made such Bid Rate Quote).

(e) Acceptance by Company.

(i) Not later than 12:30 p.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date 3 Business Days prior to the proposed

- 56 -

date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Rate Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3.(d). which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit O. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate Quotes for each Interest Period that are accepted. The failure of the Company to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance. The Company may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(A) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Rate Quote Request;

(B) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.3.(b)(ii) and together with all other Bid Rate Loans then outstanding shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.16. to be violated;

(C) acceptance of Bid Rate Quotes may be made only in ascending order of Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered;

(D) any acceptance in part by the Company shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

(E) the Company may not accept any Bid Rate Quote that fails to comply with Section 2.3.(c) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(ii) If Bid Rate Quotes are made by two or more Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Bid Rate Quotes are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such Bid Rate Quotes are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such Bid Rate Quotes. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f) Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 1:30 p.m. Eastern time on the proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date 3 Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of SOFR Margin Loans) notify each Lender as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been accepted and the amount and rate thereof. A Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its Designated Lender (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 12.5.(d). Any Designated Lender which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded. Any Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 2:30 p.m. Eastern time on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office in immediately available funds, for the account of the Company. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Company not later than 3:30 p.m. Eastern time on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Company designated by the Company.

(g) No Effect on Revolving Commitment. Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Section 2.13. and 2.16., the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

- 57 -

Section 2.4. Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.16., the Issuing Banks, on behalf of the Lenders, agree to issue for the account of the Borrowers or their designees (each of which shall be an Affiliate of a Borrower) (it being understood that the issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of a designee shall not in any way relieve the Borrowers of any of their obligations hereunder) during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date, one or more standby letters of credit (including the Existing Letters of Credit, each a “Letter of Credit”) denominated in Dollars up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50,000,000 as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided, however, that an Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Stated Amounts of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and then outstanding would exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Effective Date.

(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with its customary standards therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is 30 days prior to the Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have a duration in excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the applicable Issuing Bank but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the current expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the earlier of (x) the date that is 30 days prior to the Termination Date and (y) the date one year after the current expiration date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the applicable Borrower (or, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company) delivers to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders no later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of the relevant Borrower under this Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the relevant Borrower or the Company fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Lenders in accordance with the immediately following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $250,000 (or such lesser amount as may be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower).

(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. A Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank it desires to issue a Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent written notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The

- 58 -

applicable Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the applicable Issuing Bank. Provided that such Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2., the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank) following the date after which such Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. An Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Company or any applicable Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly deliver to the Company and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any other Borrower, such Borrower a copy of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document (excluding any certificate or other document presented by a beneficiary in connection with a drawing under such Letter of Credit) is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control. The applicable Borrower shall examine the copy of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit that is delivered to it by the applicable Issuing Bank and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly (but in any event, within 5 Business Days after the later of (x) receipt by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit of the original of, or amendment to, such Letter of Credit, as applicable and (y) receipt by such Borrower of a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, as applicable) notify such Issuing Bank. The applicable Borrower and the Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(d) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit and such Issuing Bank’s determination that such demand for payment complies with the requirements of such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Company, the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any other Borrower, such Borrower, of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that an Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the applicable Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. Each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse each Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately following subsection (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Company shall advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank whether or not the applicable Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the

- 59 -

applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of such Borrower, shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Company or the applicable Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, or if the Company or the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments. Upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g) Issuing Banks’ Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank against such documents, such Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, any of the Issuing Banks or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s, the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any drawing made

- 60 -

under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank, any other Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between or among any Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non‑application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 12.9., but not in limitation of each Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), no Borrower shall have any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights any Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by an Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, if any, required by Section 12.6. shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Company shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(c).

(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit for which such

- 61 -

Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower through a Base Rate Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by it pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank by the applicable Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the applicable Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the second and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(c)). Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of this subsection (i), such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of an Issuing Bank, on demand or upon notice in accordance with subsection (e) above, in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by it to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9.(d). If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4.(e) is received by a Lender not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time, then such Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, whether as a Base Rate Loan or as a participation, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(e) or (f), (iv) the termination of the Revolving Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k) Information to Lenders. Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding issued by an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly provide the same to each Lender and the Company, and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any other Borrower, such Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank outstanding at such time. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, an Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (or a Lender through the Administrative Agent) with respect to such Letter of Credit that is the subject of the request. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

- 62 -

(l) Extended Letters of Credit. Each Lender confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

(m) Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Commitment. At any time that there is an Issuing Bank that is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent, then (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (iii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (iv) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank (or, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section, the applicable Issuing Bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that is outstanding hereunder. In addition, each Issuing Bank shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its L/C Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Bank or making any change to its L/C Commitment. No failure on the part of any Issuing Bank to provide such information pursuant to this Section 2.4.(m) shall limit the obligations of any Borrower or any Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder.

(n) Replacement and Resignation of Issuing Bank.

(i) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced (including concurrently with the assignment of all of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of any Lender then acting as an Issuing Bank hereunder) at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and any successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.5.(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by such successor Issuing Bank thereafter, (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, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall, or any other Issuing Bank may, issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the replaced Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the replaced Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder or the assignment of all of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of any Lender then acting as an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced or departing Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto (but only to extent the replaced or departing Issuing Bank still has Letters of Credit that will be issued and outstanding) and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement for which there is no substituted Letter of Credit, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, an Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the

- 63 -

Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.4.(n)(i) above.

Section 2.5. [Reserved].

Section 2.6. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a) Rates. Each Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans;

(ii) during such periods as such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans;

(iii) during such periods as such Loan is a Daily SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for such Loan (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Daily SOFR Loans;

(iv) if such Loan is an Absolute Rate Loan, at the Absolute Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.; and

(v) if such Loan is a SOFR Margin Loan, at SOFR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the SOFR Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) automatically upon any Event of Default under Section 10.1.(a), (e) or (f) or (b) at the option of the Requisite Lenders (upon notice to the Company), while any other Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by each Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) with respect to any Base Rate Loan or Daily SOFR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first full calendar quarter occurring after the Effective Date, (ii) with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of any Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii) with respect to any Bid Rate Loan, as provided in Section 2.8.(b) and (iv) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). In the event of (i) any repayment or prepayment of any SOFR Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (ii) any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the

- 64 -

effective date of such conversion. Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Company Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Company (the “Company Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Company Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including, without limitation, because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Company) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Company Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Company or the relevant Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

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

Section 2.7. Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than ten (10) different Interest Periods for Term SOFR Loans and Bid Rate Loans, collectively, outstanding at the same time and not more than ten (10) SOFR Loans outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.8. Repayment of Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans. Each Borrower promises to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans made to such Borrower on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments are terminated in full in accordance with this Agreement).

(b) Bid Rate Loans. The Company promises to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, each Bid Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period of such Bid Rate Loan (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments are terminated in full in accordance with this Agreement), it being acknowledged that the Company may repay any Bid Rate Loans with the proceeds of Revolving Loans.

- 65 -

Section 2.9. Prepayments.

(a) Optional. Subject to Section 4.4., any Borrower may prepay any Loan in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty. A Bid Rate Loan may only be prepaid, subject to Section 4.4., (i) with the prior written consent of the Lender holding such Bid Rate Loan, (ii) to the extent the Company has expressly stated in the Bid Rate Quote Request for such Bid Rate Loans that such Bid Rate Loans are subject to prepayment at the option of the Company or (iii) in connection with a prepayment in full of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (i) at least 2 U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the prepayment of any Term SOFR Loan and (i) not later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day of the prepayment of any Base Rate Loan or Daily SOFR Loan. Each voluntary partial prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Revolving Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Bid Rate Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day of demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the amount of such excess.

(ii) Bid Rate Facility Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans exceeds $500,000,000 at such time, then the Company shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders the amount of such excess.

(iii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b)(i) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b)(ii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2.(c). If the Borrowers are required to pay any outstanding Term SOFR Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers shall pay all amounts due under Section 4.4.

(c) No Effect on Derivatives Contracts. No repayment or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the applicable Borrower’s obligations under any Derivatives Contracts entered into with respect to the Loans.

Section 2.10. Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any Borrower may, on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, elect to maintain such Term SOFR Loan or any portion thereof as a Term SOFR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. Each Continuation of a Term SOFR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by such Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by a Borrower of a Continuation shall be by

- 66 -

electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the Term SOFR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the applicable Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If a Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, unless repaid such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or such Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.11. Conversion.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any Borrower may, on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, upon such Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan or Daily SOFR Loan may not be Converted into a Term SOFR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans into Term SOFR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Any Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan or Daily SOFR Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. Eastern time 3 U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into a Daily SOFR Loan or Term SOFR Loan and (ii) 1:00 p.m. Eastern time two (2) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into a Base Rate Loan. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a Term SOFR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. If a Borrower shall elect a conversion to Term SOFR Loans but fails to select an Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the applicable Borrower once given.

Section 2.12. Notes.

(a) Notes. To the extent requested by any Lender, the Revolving Loans made by such Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed. Except in the case of a Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects not to receive a Bid Rate Note, the Bid Rate Loans made by a Lender to the Company shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of such Lender.

(b) Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to any Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained

- 67 -

by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Company of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers shall at their own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.13. Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Commitments.

The Company shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (“Commitment Reduction Notice”); provided, however, the Company may not reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments below $100,000,000 unless the Company is terminating the Revolving Commitments in full; provided, further, however, that such Commitment Reduction Notice may be revoked or modified in connection with a requested termination of the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitments that is contingent on the consummation of a refinancing, change of control event or other capital transaction that does not close on the originally anticipated closing date. Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction. Without limitation of the provisions of Section 2.17., the Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated. The Borrowers shall pay all interest and fees on the Revolving Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Lender in accordance with Section 4.4.

Section 2.14. Extension of Termination Date.

The Company shall have the right to request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders extend the Termination Date for either (i) an additional six-month period, which extension right under this clause (i) shall be exercisable two times during the term of this Agreement, or (ii) an additional one-year period, which extension right under this clause (ii) shall be exercisable once during the term of this Agreement; provided that, in either case, if such six-month or one-year period, as applicable, shall end on a date that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day. The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 120 days prior to the current Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended for six months or one year, as applicable, effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of

- 68 -

the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (y): (x) on and as of the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of the Borrower’s request to extend the Termination Date and as of the then existing Termination Date, (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (B) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and (y) the Borrowers shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(c). At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from a Responsible Officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (x)(A) and (x)(B).

Section 2.15. Expiration Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolving Commitment Termination.

If on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise) there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the balance of available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, then the applicable Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, an amount of money equal to the amount of such excess (or otherwise provide Cash Collateral equal to such excess in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks).

Section 2.16. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Revolving Loan, no Lender shall make any Bid Rate Loan, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13. shall take effect, if, immediately after the making of such Revolving Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments, after giving effect to any substantially concurrent prepayments or repayments, (a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Bid Rate Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time, or (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans would exceed $500,000,000.

Section 2.17. Increase in Aggregate Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans.

(a) The Company shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (any such increase being “Incremental Revolving Commitments”) or to request new term loans (an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”; any advance thereunder being an “Incremental Term Loan Advance”; and each Incremental Term Loan Facility, together with all Incremental Revolving Commitments, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities” and, individually, an “Incremental Facility”) (or any combination of the foregoing) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Incremental Facilities shall not exceed $500,000,000. Each such Incremental Facility must be an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree) and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

- 69 -

The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such Incremental Facility, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such Incremental Facility and the allocations of the Revolving Commitments under such Incremental Facility among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in all or any portion of such Incremental Facility may be offered by the Administrative Agent to any existing Lender in the applicable Facility selected by the Company or to any other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender selected by the Company, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, and, with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank, in each case to the extent set forth in clause (v) of subsection (f) below. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide any other Incremental Facility, as applicable, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such Incremental Facility must be an Eligible Assignee.

(b) If a Person becomes a new Lender under this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or, in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Lenders under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 4.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Loans.

(c) If pursuant to this Section 2.17. one or more Lenders (each an “Additional Term Loan Lender”) shall agree to make an applicable Incremental Term Loan Advance, such Incremental Term Loan Advance shall be made, on a date agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Term Loan Lenders, in accordance with the following conditions and procedures:

(i) Not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of a borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans comprising all or a portion of an Incremental Term Loan Advance and not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to a borrowing of Term SOFR Loans comprising all or a portion of an Incremental Term Loan Advance, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Advance and (B) Notices of Continuation and/or Notices of Conversion with respect to any then outstanding term loans under any Incremental Term Loan Facility, such that, on the date of such Incremental Term Loan Advances, the term loans then outstanding and such Incremental Term Loan Advances shall be combined so that all Lenders providing term loans under any Incremental Term Loan Facilities (including such Additional Term Loan Lenders) hold pro rata amounts of each portion of the term loans (including such Incremental Term Loan Advance) of each Type and Interest Period. Each such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion and Notice of Continuation shall specify the Type of such Incremental Term Loan Advances, and if such Incremental Term Loan Advances are to be a Term SOFR Loan, the Interest Period therefor, all in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Such notices shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Company.

- 70 -

(ii) Each Additional Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its applicable Incremental Term Loan Advance with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the date on which it has agreed to make such Incremental Term Loan Advance. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Company at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on such date the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(iii) The Company shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 4.4. as a result of the Conversion of any portion of the Incremental Term Loan Advances as provided above.

(d) Incremental Term Loan Advances and Incremental Revolving Commitments may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and restatement (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender participating in such Incremental Facility and the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.6., the Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17. Each Incremental Term Loan Facility will mature and amortize in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each Lender participating in such Incremental Facility and the Company.

(e) Loans made pursuant to any Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment, and shall be guaranteed on a pari passu basis, with the Loans.

(f) The effectiveness of Incremental Facilities under this Section are subject to the following conditions precedent: (v) the approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of any new Lender (other than an Eligible Assignee) by the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank, (w) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such Incremental Facility, (x) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrowers and any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents, (y) the Company shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the covenants contained in Section 9.1., and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the secretary or assistant secretary (or other individual performing similar functions) of the Company of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrowers to authorize such Incremental Facility and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such Incremental Facility; (ii) a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrowers and any Lender providing such Incremental Facility which supplement may include such amendments to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17., together with the consent of the Guarantors thereto; (iii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, an opinion of counsel to the Borrowers and the Guarantors, and addressed

- 71 -

to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iv) if requested by any new Lender or any existing Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment, new Revolving Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Revolving Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments; and (v) if requested by any Additional Term Loan Lender, a term loan note executed by the Borrowers payable to such Additional Term Loan Lender in the amount of such Additional Term Loan Lender’s term loans under any Incremental Term Loan Facilities. In connection with any Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.17., any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

Section 2.18. Funds Transfer Disbursements.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of such Borrower or the Company on behalf of such Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

Section 2.19. Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) Subject to Sections 2.19.(b) and 5.3., the Company may at any time and from time to time upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) designate any Eligible Domestic Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company and the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.3., and upon such delivery and satisfaction such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Subsidiary Borrower at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder, provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such Subsidiary Borrower to request further Credit Events under this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall furnish a copy thereof to each Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Lender determines that, as a result of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty or any applicable request, rule, requirement, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, it is or it becomes unlawful, or shall otherwise determine that it would constitute a violation of such Lender’s internal policies, for such Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower or for such Lender to fund or maintain any participation or any Loan to any Subsidiary Borrower:

(i) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of such event;

- 72 -

(ii) the obligations of all Lenders to make, convert or continue any participations and Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist; and

(iii) the Borrowers shall repay any outstanding participations or Loans made to such Subsidiary Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Company or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law).

Section 2.20. Permitted Extension Amendments.

(a) The Company may, two times during the term of this Agreement and only after it has exercised the extension rights under Section 2.14, not more than one hundred twenty (120) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the then-current Termination Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that each Lender extend (each such date on which an extension occurs, an “Extension Date”) such Lender’s Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Termination Date”), subject to the terms and conditions contained in such request which may include (i) an increase in the interest rate or other fees applicable solely with respect to the Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments in respect of which such extension is made to apply on and after the Extension Date and (ii) the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to the Extending Lenders (as defined below) in connection with such extension (including any upfront fees).

(b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is fifteen (15) days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Company’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its applicable Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its applicable Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Company for extension of the applicable Termination Date.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section.

(d) The Company shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions (each, an “Additional Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 4.6., each of which Additional Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.5., with the Company obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume the Revolving Commitments (and, if any such Additional Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s

- 73 -

Revolving Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new applicable Termination Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.

(e) If (and only if) the total of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Termination Date and the new or increased Revolving Commitments of any Additional Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, in each case, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the applicable Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no consent of any Lender (other than the existing Lenders participating in the extension of the Existing Termination Date) shall be required for any extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.20, (ii) the operation of this Section 2.20 in accordance with its terms is not an amendment subject to Section 12.6 and (iii) at any date of determination, the facility established hereunder will have a term of no more than five years, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension request made by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.20.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any extension of any Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.20. shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto;

(ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Extension Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents; and

(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate dated as of the applicable Extension Date from the Company signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Loan Parties approving or consenting to such extension.

(g) On the applicable Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) any Revolving Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the applicable Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.8. (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving

- 74 -

effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4.) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised applicable percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement).

(h) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 3.1., 3.2., 3.3. or 12.6. to the contrary.

Article III. Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions

Section 3.1. Payments.

(a) Payments by Borrowers. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by any Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10.), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for any Base Rate Loan or Daily SOFR Loan and on the next succeeding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for any Term SOFR Loan). Subject to Section 10.5., each Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by such Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Issuing Bank. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day or U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as applicable, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day or U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as applicable, and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

(b) Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including

- 75 -

the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Sections 2.1.(a) and 2.4.(e) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees under Section 3.5.(b), the first sentence of Section 3.5.(c), and Section 3.5.(d) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13. shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.9., if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments; (c) each prepayment of principal of Bid Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.9.(b)(ii) shall be made for account of the Lenders then owed Bid Rate Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Bid Rate Loans then owing to each such Lender; (d) [reserved]; (e) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (f) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 4.1.(c) and 4.5.) shall be made pro rata among the applicable Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (g) [reserved]; and (h) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.4., shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender 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 Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender (other than Specified Derivatives Obligations) resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligation greater than the share thereof as provided in Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable; 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 Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.9.(e) or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans or participations

- 76 -

in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may, subject to Section 12.3, exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5. Fees.

(a) Closing Fee. On the Effective Date, each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender all fees then due and payable as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrowers, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letters or otherwise.

(b) Facility Fees. (i) During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of (x) the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date and (y) the Termination Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the daily amount by which the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans set forth in the table below multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate:

Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero.

(ii) From and after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a facility fee equal to the average daily aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (whether or not utilized) multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate equal to the Ratings-Based Applicable Margin. Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving

- 77 -

Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero. The Company acknowledges that the fee payable hereunder is a bona fide commitment fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full. In addition to such fees, each Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank solely for its own account, a fronting or issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount to be agreed between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank, which fee may be payable either as a percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit or as a per annum rate on the daily average Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (1) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated or (2) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full. The fees provided for in this subsection shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears (i) quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Termination Date, (iii) on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Company shall pay directly to each Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged or incurred by such Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any other transaction relating thereto.

(c) Revolving Credit Extension Fee. If the Termination Date is being extended in accordance with Section 2.14., the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee equal to (a) in the case of any extension pursuant to clause (i) of such Section, 0.0625% (6.25 basis points) of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment (whether or not utilized) in effect on the effective date of such extension, and (b) in the case of any extension pursuant to clause (ii) of such Section, 0.125% (12.5 basis points) of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment (whether or not utilized) in effect on the effective date of such extension. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on and as a condition to the effective date of such extension.

(d) Bid Rate Loan Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent a fee equal to $1,000 at the time of each Bid Rate Quote Request made hereunder for services rendered by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Bid Rate Loans.

(e) Administrative and Other Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Wells Fargo Fee Letter and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.6. Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.

- 78 -

Section 3.7. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless such Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that such Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.8. Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent will account to the Company monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrowers absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 12.6.

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposures with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the

- 79 -

Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposures with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.4.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts, “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article V. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)) are held by the Lenders pro rata as if there had been no Lenders that are Defaulting Lenders. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents thereto.

(c) Certain Fees.

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).

(iii) With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non‑Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities that has been reallocated to such Non‑Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to the Issuing Banks the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and not, in the case of such Issuing Bank, Cash Collateralized in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 3.9., and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among the

- 80 -

Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such condition is satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non‑Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 12.21., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e) Cash Collateral.

(i) If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposures in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(ii) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within 1 Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii) Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposures of the Issuing Banks with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposures shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the

- 81 -

Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Banks may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause, as applicable the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 12.21., except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h) Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment/Loans. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Company may, by the Company’s giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender, and upon such demand such Defaulting Lender shall promptly, so long as such assignment shall not conflict with Applicable Law, assign its Revolving Commitment and Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 12.5.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $4,500. The exercise by the Company of its rights under this Section shall be at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

Section 3.10. Taxes.

(a) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Banks and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined

- 82 -

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 Borrowers or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the relevant Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.5. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit of an Administrative Agent following its resignation as Administrative Agent.

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

(g) Status of Lenders.

- 83 -

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

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

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

b. an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

c. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent

- 84 -

shareholder” of any 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 electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

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

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

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

(h) 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

- 85 -

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 subsection (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 subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 subsection 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.

(i) 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 Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Article IV. Yield Protection, Etc.

Section 4.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(b) Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection (a), the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent on its own account or for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for any costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making of or maintaining, continuing or converting any Loans or its obligation to make, maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Revolving Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such

- 86 -

Loans or its Revolving Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining SOFR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or

(iii) imposes on any Lender or any interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.

(c) Lender’s Suspension of Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans into, Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans and/or the obligation of a Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote to make SOFR Margin Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

(d) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to an Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by an Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrowers (and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable. The failure of the Administrative

- 87 -

Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the applicable Borrower (and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, to the Company, and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be (i) made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with such Person’s general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated customers (it being agreed that none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim) and (ii) conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, any such Issuing Bank and/or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.2. Changed Circumstances

(a) Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or Daily SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, or a SOFR Margin Loan, or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or Daily SOFR Loan, or SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Margin Loan, on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period, (ii) the Requisite Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period or (iii) any Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a SOFR Margin Loan reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining such SOFR Margin Loan, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Company, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan or Daily SOFR Loan shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods), and in the case of clause (iii) above, no Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a SOFR Margin Loan shall be under any obligation to make such Loan, until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Requisite Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) a Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (x) Daily SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of clauses (i) or (ii) above, or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of clauses (i) or (ii) above, in each case, in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into (x) Daily SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject

- 88 -

of clauses (i) or (ii) above, or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of clauses (i) or (ii) above, in each case, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, or, in the case of any Daily SOFR Loan, or SOFR Margin Loan immediately. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4.

(b) Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loan or SOFR Margin Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans, as applicable, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or Daily SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan or Daily SOFR Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans, as applicable, to (x) Daily SOFR Loans so long as SOFR and Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of illegality, or (y) Base Rate Loans if SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of illegality (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), or any affected SOFR Margin Loan to a Base Rate Loan, in each case on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4.

(c) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Company so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.2.(c)(i)(A) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

- 89 -

(B) No Derivatives Contract shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 4.2.(c).

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.2.(c)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.2.(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.2.(c).

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

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) a Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or

- 90 -

Daily SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (x) Daily SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of such unavailability, or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of such unavailability and (B)(i) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to (x) Daily SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of such unavailability, or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of such unavailability, in each case, at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Margin Loan shall have been deemed to have been converted immediately to a Base Rate Loan. 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 the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Section 4.3. [Reserved.]

Section 4.4. Compensation.

Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to (or reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with):

(i) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a Term SOFR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan, or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration or the exercise by such Borrower of its rights under Section 4.6.) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(ii) any failure by such Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a Term SOFR Loan, Daily SOFR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan or Daily SOFR Loan, or to Convert a Daily SOFR Loan into a Term SOFR Loan, or Continue a Term SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, (i) in the case of a Term SOFR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such SOFR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Term SOFR Loan for the same period if SOFR were set on the date on which such Term SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the relevant Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate SOFR quoted on such date and (ii) in the case of a Daily SOFR Loan or Bid Rate Loan, the sum of such losses and expenses as the Lender or Designated Lender who made such Daily SOFR Loan or Bid Rate Loan may reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment, including without limitation any losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties; provided that in no event shall such compensation include any loss of anticipated profits. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. Upon a Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide such Borrower (and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, with a copy to the

- 91 -

Company) with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 4.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

(a) If the obligation of any Lender to make Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or Section 4.2., then such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on such date of suspension with respect to an Daily SOFR Loans and on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1.(c) or Section 4.2., on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1. or Section 4.2. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loan (or to its Daily SOFR Loans bearing interest at the converted rate); and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as (x) Daily SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of such unavailability, or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of such unavailability, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Company, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1.(c) or Section 4.2. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

(b) If the obligation of a Lender to make SOFR Margin Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or 4.2., then the SOFR Margin Loans of such Lender shall be automatically due and payable on such date as such Lender may specify to the Company by written notice with a copy to the Administrative Agent; provided that if such notice is delivered after 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, then such SOFR Margin Loan shall be due and payable no earlier than the first Business Day following the date such notice is delivered.

- 92 -

Section 4.6. Replacement of Lenders.

If (a) a Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 4.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make Term SOFR Loan, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or 4.2.(b) but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, and in the case of clause (a) or (b) such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 4.7., or (c) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand such Affected Lender shall promptly, assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.5.(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 4.1. and rights to indemnification under Section 12.9.) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.5.(b)(iv);

(ii) such Affected Lender shall have received payment of (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to such Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by such Affected Lender under Section 2.4.(j) and Section 2.5.(e) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee;

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.1. or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.10., such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non‑Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable consent, approval, amendment or waiver.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender nor any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Company of its rights under this Section shall be at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit any Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

- 93 -

An Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 4.7. Change of Lending Office.

If any Lender (i) requests compensation under Section 4.1., (ii) requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10., or (iii) determines pursuant to Section 4.2.(b) that it is unlawful for such Lender to make Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall (at the written request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 4.1. or avoid such illegality pursuant to Section 4.2.(b), as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that the Company desires to request that any such affected Lender 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, the Company may request and such Lender shall provide the Company with a good faith estimate of the reasonable costs and expenses that such Lender expects to incur in connection with any such designation or assignment. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 4.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1., in the event of a Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the inclusion of any Hotel Property as an Eligible Property at any particular time of reference, if such Default or Event of Default is capable of being cured solely by the exclusion of such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property, the Company shall be permitted a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days from the earlier of (x) the date upon which a Responsible Officer of the Company obtains knowledge of such Default or Event of Default (as applicable) or (y) the date upon which the Company has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Administrative Agent, to exclude such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property by delivering to the Administrative Agent each of the following: (1) written notice thereof and (2) a Compliance Certificate, prepared for each fiscal period in which such Hotel Property was included as an Eligible Property but was not in fact an Eligible Property, evidencing compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.1. for such period, excluding such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property, as applicable.

Section 10.2. Remedies Upon Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Acceleration; Termination of Facilities.

(i) Automatic. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), (1) (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, the Loans and the Notes at the time outstanding, (B) an amount equal to the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and (C) all of the other Obligations of the Borrowers, including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letters shall become immediately and automatically due and payable by any Borrower without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by such Borrower on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, and (2) the Revolving Commitments, the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, and the obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, shall all immediately and automatically terminate.

(ii) Optional. If any other Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, and shall, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders: (1) declare (A) the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and the Notes at the time outstanding, (B) an amount equal to the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral

Account and (C) all of the other Obligations, including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letters to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the relevant Borrower on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, and (2) terminate the Revolving Commitments, the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder.

(d) Appointment of Receiver. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for the assets and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, without notice of any kind whatsoever and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to take possession of all or any portion of the property and/or the business operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to exercise such power as the court shall confer upon such receiver.

(e) Remedies in Respect of Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other Loan Document, each Specified Derivatives Provider and Specified Cash Management Bank shall have the right, with prompt notice to the Administrative Agent, but without the approval or consent of or other action by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders, and without limitation of other remedies available to such Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as applicable, under contract or Applicable Law, to undertake any of the following: (a) in the case of a Specified Derivatives Provider, to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any Specified Derivatives Contract and to create an “Early Termination Date” (as defined therein) in respect thereof, (b) in the case of a Specified Derivatives Provider, to determine net termination amounts in respect of any and all Specified Derivatives Contracts in accordance with the terms thereof, and to set off amounts among such contracts, (c) in the case of a Specified Derivatives Provider, to set off or proceed against deposit account balances, securities account balances and other property and amounts held by such Specified Derivatives Provider and (d) to prosecute any legal action against the Borrower, any Loan Party or other Subsidiary to enforce or collect net amounts owing to such Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as applicable, pursuant to any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement, as applicable.

Section 10.3. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.

No Lender Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to a Lender Party, or a Lender Party enforces its security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and

- 127 -

continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 10.4. Allocation of Proceeds.

If an Event of Default exists and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated or the Termination Date has occurred, all payments received by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under Section 12.3.) under any of the Loan Documents in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations shall be applied in the following order and priority:

(i) to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and the Issuing Banks in their capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (i) payable to them;

(ii) to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;

(iii) [reserved];

(iv) to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) payable to them;

(v) [reserved];

(vi) to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter of Credit Liabilities and payment obligations then owing under Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Specified Derivatives Providers and the Specified Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (vi) payable to them; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account; and

(vii) the balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, to the Company or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be. Each Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XI. for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

- 128 -

Section 10.5. Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, each Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Issuing Banks as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.

(b) Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not be invested without the consent of the Borrowers and shall only be invested in Cash Equivalents approved by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing.

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to be less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the written request of the Company, deliver to the Company, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the fourth sentence of Section 2.4.(b) for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or

- 129 -

funded participations of the Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(f) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 10.6. Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite Lenders.

If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.

Section 10.7. Performance by Administrative Agent.

If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to such Borrower, and in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, with a copy to the Company, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, such Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.8. Rights Cumulative.

(a) Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, of the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts, and of the Specified Cash Management Banks under the Specified Cash Management Agreements, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders, the Specified Derivatives Providers and the Specified Cash Management Banks may be selective and no failure or delay by any such Lender Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial

- 130 -

exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

(b) Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article X. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Issuing Banks from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to their benefit (solely in their capacity as an Issuing Bank) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (v) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article X. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

Article XI. The Administrative Agent

Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII. that the Borrowers are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Company, pursuant to this Agreement or any

- 131 -

other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), 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 instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty (i) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon satisfaction of the conditions to release set forth in Section 7.13. or Section 7.14.; (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders hereunder, as required under the circumstances; or (iii) on the Termination Date. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (any execution and delivery of such documents being without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent).

Section 11.2. Administrative Agent as Lender.

The Lender acting as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash Management Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Lender acting as Administrative Agent in each case in its individual capacity. Such Lender and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting as Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

- 132 -

Section 11.3. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, consent or approval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the requested determination, consent or approval within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved such requested determination, consent or approval.

Section 11.4. Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 11.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non‑appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any

- 133 -

other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 11.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) promptly upon demand for its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought) of any out‑of‑pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out‑of‑pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

- 134 -

Section 11.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Titled Agents (as defined in Section 11.9.), any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Titled Agents (as defined in Section 11.9.), any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

Section 11.8. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. The Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and, provided no Event of Default exists, the Company, upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Event of Default exists, be subject to the Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such appointment unless it shall object thereto by written notice within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence,

- 135 -

and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee (but in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders and such Issuing Banks so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as an Issuing Bank by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor applicable Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as an Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Company and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 11.9. Titled Agents.

Each of the Arrangers, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents (each a “Titled Agent”) in such capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 11.10. Additional ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

- 136 -

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or the Revolving Commitments;

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement;

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 11.11. Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements.

No Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 10.4. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such

- 137 -

supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be.

Section 11.12. Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Bank (or the Lender Affiliate of a Lender) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.12.(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Revolving Commitments) with respect to which

- 138 -

such Erroneous Payment was made to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Revolving Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, the Administrative Agent may cancel any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such revocation all of the Loans assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.6. and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.12. or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, 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 received by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

(f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.12. shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Nothing in this Section 11.12. will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

If to any other Lender:

To such Lender’s address or email address as set forth in the applicable Administrative Questionnaire

or, as to each party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties delivered in compliance with this Section; provided, that a Lender and an Issuing Bank shall only be required to give notice of any such other address to the Administrative Agent and the Company. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of 3 days after the deposit in the United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the address of the Company or the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders at the addresses specified; (ii) if emailed, when transmitted; (iii) if hand delivered or sent by overnight courier, when delivered; or (iv) if delivered in accordance with Section 8.5. to the extent applicable; provided, however, that, in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), non-receipt of any communication as of the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, all notices or communications to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under Article II. shall be effective only when actually received. None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall incur any liability to any Loan Party (nor shall the Administrative Agent incur any liability to any Issuing Bank or the Lenders) for acting upon any telephonic notice referred to in this Agreement which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated to receive a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.

(b) Each Loan Party party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.1.(a). Each Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, as its authorized agent, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 12.5.(b) in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City. The Company hereby represents, warrants and confirms that the Company has agreed to accept such appointment (and any similar appointment by a Subsidiary Guarantor which is a Foreign Subsidiary). Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each such Subsidiary Borrower until all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof and such Subsidiary Borrower shall have been terminated as a Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 2.19. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 12.5.(b) in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City by service of process upon the Company as provided in this Section 12.1.(b); provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, notice of said service upon such agent shall be mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company and (if applicable to) such

- 142 -

Subsidiary Borrower at its address set forth in the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement to which it is a party or to any other address of which such Subsidiary Borrower shall have given written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy thereof to the Company). Each Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Subsidiary Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Subsidiary Borrower. To the extent any Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 12.2. Expenses.

The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all of its and their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in respect of any notice given by the Company under Section 2.17.(a), whether or not the requested increase is actually effected), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and of the Administrative Agent in connection with the review of Properties for inclusion in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to all such activities, (b) without duplication of the provisions of Section 3.5.(b), to pay to each Issuing Bank all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (c) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents and the Fee Letters, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of their respective counsel and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), including, without limitation, (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor in possession financing or any plan of reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by such Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks for fees and expenses of counsel in connection with the matters described in clauses (a), (c) and (d) above shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional

- 143 -

counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Lender Party similarly situated. All reimbursement obligations pursuant to this Section 12.2. shall be due and payable not later than fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

The Company shall pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration and similar taxes or governmental charges and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such taxes or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or Liens under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.3. Setoff.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Company, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without prior notice to the Parent, any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, such Participant or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 10.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Promptly following any such set-off, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company thereof and of the application of such set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such set-off or the application thereof

Section 12.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, ANY BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK, THE PARENT AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN

- 144 -

DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTERS OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, ANY BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTERS.

(b) EACH OF THE PARENT, EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, ANY BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTERS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. THE PARENT, EACH BORROWER, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH OF THE PARENT AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 12.5. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Parent, the Company, any Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (e)

- 145 -

(and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in the immediately following clause (B) in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a), 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) shall exist, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Revolving Commitments held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $10,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of a Bid Rate Loan.

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

(A) the consent of the Company (on behalf of itself and the other Borrowers) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a), 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto

- 146 -

by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

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

(C) the consent of the Issuing Banks (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Company and the relevant Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that (i) to the extent requested by the assignees or transferor Lender, new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate and (ii) any Notes held by the transferor Lender are promptly returned to the relevant Borrower for cancellation (and, to the extent not so returned, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive a customary indemnity agreement of the type described in Section 2.12.(c)(ii)(A) from such transferor Lender).

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

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

- 147 -

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4., 12.2. and 12.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non‑fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) increase such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a waiver of default interest and changes in calculation of the Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or (z) release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by Sections 7.13. and 7.14., in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 4.1. and 4.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such

- 148 -

Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 4.6. as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. or 4.1., with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the relevant Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 4.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

(f) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

(g) Designated Lenders. Any Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, designate one Designated Lender to fund Bid Rate Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this subsection, and the provisions in the immediately preceding subsections (b) and (d) shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one Designated Lender. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Company, whereupon (i) the Company shall execute and deliver to the Designating Lender, to the extent requested by such Designated Lender, a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of the Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.3. after the Company has accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the

- 149 -

extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 11.6. and any sums otherwise payable to the Company by the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the agent of the Designated Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be binding on the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Lender. The Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (x) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender and (y) the Termination Date. In connection with any such designation, the Designating Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such designation in the amount of $4,500.

(h) USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

Section 12.6. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, a Fee Letter may only be amended, and the performance or observance by any Loan Party thereunder may only be waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto.

(b) Additional Lender Consents. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

- 150 -

(i) increase, extend or reinstate the Revolving Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.1, or 5.2 or of any Default or Event of Default and the forbearance with respect to such Default or Event of Default, if issued in accordance with Section 12.6.(a) above, is not considered an increase in, or extension or reinstatement of, the Revolving Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations (other than a waiver of default interest and changes in calculation of the Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, however, that only the written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required for the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default Rate, retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post‑Default Rate and amendment of the definition of “Post-Default Rate”;

(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written consent of such Lender; provided, however, that only the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be necessary to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce any Fee payable based on such financial covenant;

(iv) modify the definitions of “Termination Date” (except in accordance with Section 2.14.) or “Revolving Commitment Percentage”, otherwise postpone any date fixed for, or forgive, any scheduled payment of principal of, or interest on, any Revolving Loans or for the payment of Fees payable to the Lenders or any other Obligations owing to the Lenders, or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date (except in accordance with Section 2.14 or, in the case of a Letter of Credit that becomes an Extended Letter of Credit, in accordance with Section 2.4.(b)), in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v) modify the definition of “Revolving Commitment Percentage” or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., or any other provision of this Agreement, or add any provision of this Agreement, in a manner that would alter, or would have the effect of altering, the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(vi) amend subsection (a) or this subsection (b) of this Section 12.6. or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions directly affect the substance of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(vii) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) release (A) the Parent, (B) any Borrower or (C) all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from obligations under the Guaranty or Article XIII (except as contemplated by Sections 7.13. and 7.14.), in each case without the written consent of each Lender;

(ix) waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.1.(a) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; or

- 151 -

(x) amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.16. without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby.

(c) Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4. or the obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Issuing Banks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders in any material respect shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrowers shall entitle the Borrowers to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(d) Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Company have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend and/or supplement such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such amendment and/or supplement to the Lenders). Any such amendment or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

(e) Amendments for Incremental Facilities and Permitted Amendments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to provide for the making of any Incremental Facility as contemplated by Section 2.17. and to permit the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facilities in any determination of the Requisite Lenders.

Section 12.7. Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and partners and/or their Affiliates. No Lender Party shall have any fiduciary responsibilities

- 152 -

to any Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to any Lender, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. No Lender Party undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform such Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 12.8. Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees that it shall not disclose and shall treat confidentially all Information (as defined below) furnished by the Borrowers or the Parent or on their behalf but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates and their other Related Parties solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section (and each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be responsible for its respective Affiliates’ and Related Parties’ compliance with this Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Eligible Assignee, Participant or other permitted transferee or any of their Affiliates in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Revolving Commitment, Loan or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivatives transaction relating to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates and its obligations (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (d) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof, pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency pursuant to legal process or in connection with any pending legal or administrative proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law or compulsory legal process (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority exercising routine examination, oversight or regulatory review); (e) to the Administrative Agent’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors and other experts or agents or representatives solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section (and each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be responsible for its respective Affiliates’ compliance with this Section); (f) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders (or Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank) of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (or under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents (or any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of improper disclosure or a breach of this Section by such Person or any of its Affiliates or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates that is not to such Person’s knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates; (h) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it or any of its Affiliates, their business or operations (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or

- 153 -

regulatory authority); (i) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (j) to any other party hereto; (k) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person; (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense; (m) to enforce their respective rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under the Fee Letters; (n) on a confidential basis (1) upon the Borrower’s request, to any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (2) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan Documents; and (o) with the consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses pursuant to the requirements of the Administrative Agent or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate.

Section 12.9. Indemnification.

(a) Each of the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Arranger, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims (including without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Party (which shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Indemnified Parties and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Indemnified Parties in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnified Parties similarly situated)), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the applicable Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnity Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the

- 154 -

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this Section 13.10. to the extent arising from (A) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, (B) a material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under the Loan Documents, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, (C) any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties (except in connection with claims or disputes (1) against the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers in their respective capacities relating to whether the conditions to any Credit Event have been satisfied, (2) against the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers in their respective capacities with respect to a Defaulting Lender or the determination of whether a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (3) against the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers in their respective capacities as such and (4) directly resulting from any act or omission on the part of the Parent, any Borrower, any other Loan Parties or any other Subsidiary), and (D) tax and yield maintenance matters otherwise addressed in Section 3.10. and Section 4.1.

(b) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

(d) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrowers hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) if the Borrowers are required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrowers have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrowers have the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

References in this Section 12.9. to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers and Specified Cash Management Banks, as applicable.

Section 12.10. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivatives Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the

- 155 -

Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

(b) As used in this Section 12.10., the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 12.11. Termination; Survival.

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or been canceled (other than Extended Letters of Credit in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements to provide Cash Collateral as required in Section 2.4.(b)), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and the Issuing Banks are no longer obligated under this Agreement to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks

- 156 -

and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10., 4.1., 4.4., 11.6., 12.2. and 12.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 12.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. Upon the Company’s request, the Administrative Agent agrees to deliver to the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, written confirmation of the foregoing termination.

Section 12.12. Severability of Provisions.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.

Section 12.13. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 12.14. Counterparts.

To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, 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 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.

Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form

- 157 -

or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees 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 Lenders and any of the Loan Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (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 (B) waives 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 12.15. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship.

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), each of the Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent, the Company, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Parent, the Company, and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Parent, the Company and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Parent, the Company, the other Loan Parties, and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Parent, the Company, and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 12.16. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.

The obligations of the Company to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Company may have that the Company does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.

- 158 -

Section 12.17. Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 12.18. Limitation of Liability.

None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letters or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letters, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

Section 12.19. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

Section 12.20. Construction.

The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Borrower and each Lender.

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, to the extent such liability is unsecured, 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

- 159 -

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

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

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

The paragraph and section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.

Article XIII. Cross-Guarantee

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, but subject to the last sentence of this Article XIII, each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. Each Borrower further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.

Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally agrees that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability they incur as a result of any Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under this Article XIII on the date when it would have been due (but so that the amount payable by a Borrower under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Article XIII if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee).

Each Borrower waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; (e) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations, if any; (f) any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations; (g) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, for any reason related to this

- 160 -

Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract, any Specified Cash Management Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment by such Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, of any of the Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Obligations; or (h) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of such Borrower to subrogation.

Each Borrower further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.

The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise.

Each Borrower further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Obligations of such other Borrowers now or hereafter existing and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded or is or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Borrower by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Borrower hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Upon payment by any Borrower of any sums as provided above, all rights of such Borrower against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Article XIII or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this paragraph for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this paragraph or otherwise under this Article XIII or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or

- 161 -

fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Article XIII or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this paragraph constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
